• 2 Dec 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech and a powerful argument. I have been dealing with an advanced manufacturer of metal and steel wires in my constituency that has been put off by the very thing he describes. That company stands ready to support the Government’s mission on clean and green energy—it wants to supply its steel wires to wind farms—but things like this deter it from getting involved in the first place. Does he agree that that needs to change?

• 21 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  I welcome the Prime Minister’s global leadership—he has restored our place on the world stage. Climate change is the biggest threat facing us all. That used to be an uncontroversial statement, which is why I was stunned to hear the Leader of the Opposition describe the actions we have taken to deal with that problem as being done for “short-term publicity.” That is absolutely outrageous. Is the Prime Minister as delighted as I am that the climate sceptics of the Conservative party are now sitting on the Opposition Benches, so that we can take the long-term decision from the Government Benches?

  The choice at this General Election couldn’t be clearer: ✅Lower bills, energy security and climate leadership with Labour. ❌Higher bills, energy insecurity and climate delay with the Conservatives. Vote Labour on 4th July or when your postal vote arrives???? https://twitter.com/MarkJSewards/status/1803291552145445220/photo/1 [Source]
