  Vote @MetroMayorSteve on 2nd May for more of our much-needed homes (including council houses), more jobs, better transport connectivity, and green energy (and jobs). Vote @UKLabour on 2nd May. https://twitter.com/MetroMayorSteve/status/1782787327145701483 [Source]

• 04 Dec 2023: Tweet

  I support the call for the UK to do better on climate finance and women’s representation in climate decisions. @Careintuk’s report launched today tells us how the UK can support #GenAdapt, the women & girls forced to adapt to climate devastation #COP28 https://www.careinternational.org.uk/what-we-do/policy-and-advocacy/turning-promises-into-progress/ [Source]

• 13 Nov 2023: Tweet

  I'm proud to support the Climate & Ecology Bill amendment to the #KingsSpeech. It's never been more important to lock the UK's climate and nature commitments in law to reverse nature's destruction and deliver a just transition. #CEBill https://commonsbusiness.parliament.uk/Document/82575/Html?subType=Standard#_idTextAnchor003 [Source]

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-66933346.amp Drilling the Rosebank oil field - the UK's largest untapped oil field - could produce around 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, undermining the Govt's net zero pledge and make no difference to UK fuel bills. We need investment in renewables [Source]

• 21 Sep 2023: Tweet

  Stopping measures that they haven't announced they'd implement, apart from much-needed insulation upgrades. Out of touch, out of ideas, we need them out of office and a @UKLabour government now, who will take climate change seriously. https://twitter.com/KimJohnsonMP/status/1704744630217023692/photo/1 [Source]

• 09 Aug 2023: Tweet

  I'm with @ShakaHislop @SRTRC_England in saying loud and clear #RefugeesWelcome. It's not refugees causing the cost of living crisis, nor lack of house building, nor endangering climate change policies. It's a Govt in power for 13 years looking to blame their failures elsewhere. https://twitter.com/KimJohnsonMP/status/1689346897650073600/photo/1 https://twitter.com/GedGrebby/status/1689254380388630529 [Source]

• 12 Jan 2022: Parliamentary Speech

  Labour leaders in the north-west and elsewhere are leading the way in investing in integrated sustainable transport systems. Liverpool’s metro Mayor Steve Rotheram has done some incredible work to roll out state-of-the-art, fully accessible and publicly-owned trains for the Merseyrail network later this year. He has already begun to deliver on a 600 km network of cycling and walking routes for the city region. He has secured £710 million to invest in further infrastructure improvement, including new green bus routes, and he submitted a welcome bid of £667 million to re-regulate and increase bus services across the network, to begin the roll-out of zero-emission hydrogen vehicles and to slash bus fares.

  What discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on showing leadership on green investment and boosting funding for public transport in the run-up to COP26.

  Full debate: Green Investment and Public Transport

  Liverpool city region is developing a project to bring 20 hydrogen-powered double-decker buses to the streets, with the potential for further green investment to scale this up and achieve our ambition of being carbon net zero by 2040. Can the Minister tell us when the £30 billion in planned capital investment as part of the green recovery stimulus will be available to support our ambition?

  Government flagship Green Homes Grant has £1bn of funds slashed, with 6,000 jobs created instead of promised 100,000 - 13,000 jobs lost in the NW. How is that "building back better"? Or being serious about addressing climate change? Creating quality jobs in green industries? [Source]

• 18 Mar 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  From fracking in Lancashire to the Dakota access pipeline in the United States, private companies are ravaging our environment and putting profit before the needs and wellbeing of our communities. The climate change emergency brings further risks in respect of access to clean water around the world. The question of water justice is an urgent one and the challenges are growing fast. Some 2 billion people lack access to safe water for drinking, cooking and personal use. Just as the challenges are global, so must be our movement. In the year that the UK plays host to both the G7 and COP26, we need to lead the way by increasing the share of climate finance dedicated to helping the poorest countries to adapt to climate change. With no clean water to drink, cook and wash with, communities falter and people get sick, putting their lives, livelihoods and futures at risk. By 2040, the situation is predicted to be even worse, with climate change making water perilously scarce for 600 million children.

• 16 Mar 2021: Tweet

  Who is this Bill designed to protect? Not women, not Travellers, not trade unionists, not Black people, not climate change protestors. Not us. Which is why I will be voting against this Bill tonight. https://twitter.com/KimJohnsonMP/status/1371864487641243648/video/1 [Source]

• 15 Mar 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  The scenes at Clapham common this weekend exposed a disgraceful abuse of power by the Metropolitan police. However, for too many of us, the scenes did not shock; they have become worryingly familiar. From the miners protesting at Orgreave and elsewhere in the 1980s to the climate change and Black Lives Matter protests last year, the violent crackdown by police on peaceful demonstrators exercising their right to protest has been routine, systematic and deliberate. Such actions raise the fundamental questions: who do the police protect and who do they serve? This weekend, it was abundantly clear that the answer to both questions was not women.

  Decent paying jobs, affordable homes (without cladding), action on climate change. Worth more than a flag every time. We need to be bold and set out a radical agenda that will lead to real change for the majority. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1357037092979769345 [Source]

• 28 Jan 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  These cuts are most likely to affect the children who are already the most marginalised, impacting support for refugees and the internally displaced, supported children with disabilities and specialist programmes to keep girls in school, and displacement are due to crop failure and famine as a result of climate change. Natural disasters and conflict over resources are another key disruption to education. Those displaced face significant barriers, including saturated school capacity, destroyed infrastructure, linguistic barriers and discrimination.

  Pushing ahead with further cuts to our aid budget, this Government are yet again turning their back on those most in need. If covid has taught us one thing, it is that we have responsibility for each other. It is a recognition that, when children in one country are left without an education, we all are poorer as a result. Education is the defining factor in building a fairer, more prosperous society. It is the foundation for building a better future with global development, peace and prosperity at its heart. It is a power to change lives. Will the Government take the opportunity today to demonstrate global leadership in their commitments to funding education for those most vulnerable, marginalised and desperate children in conflict and crisis settings by increasing their aid allocation to education to 15%, and will they utilise our position as president of the G7 and COP26 to encourage other donors to step up and increase their funding too?

  Full debate: UN International Day of Education

• 26 Jan 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  We are in a climate and ecological emergency. Considering the scale and urgency of the crisis we are facing, it is staggering that the Government have seen fit to postpone the Bill yet again. We have a responsibility to take rapid and radical action on sustainability and environmental protection. Delaying this core piece of legislation is a major setback to that work. In the run-up to hosting COP26 later this year, the Bill should be an absolute priority, as should commitment to maintaining and enhancing environmental protection. That it is not speaks volumes about the commitment of this Government to the environment, to our global responsibilities and to future generations.

  The Bill, as it stands, has been called a missed opportunity by the Environmental Audit Committee, and has failed to enshrine action on climate change at the heart of Government policy. Environmental campaigners and organisations across the board have been clear that we need ambitious targets, enforced by a fully independent watchdog, with significant powers to actively dissuade the contravention of environmental legislation. However, if the watchdog is to be effective, it must be capable of holding the Government to account, and that means full independence and serious powers to prosecute and impose financial penalties. The Bill currently allows the OEP to be guided by the Secretary of State, threatening to turn it from a watchdog into a lapdog.
