We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Sean Woodcock

• 19 May 2026: Parliamentary Speech

  I think the right hon. Gentleman unintentionally misrepresents Government policy, as it is my understanding that we will continue to use oil and gas, and it will play a key part in the just transition.

  Full debate: Energy Security

• 27 Jan 2026: Parliamentary Speech

  I welcome the measure. As part of the just transition, it is important to encourage the roll-out of EV infrastructure and charging points, particularly in rural constituencies such as mine where that is a significant challenge. Members will not be surprised to hear that I do not support the official Opposition’s new clause, but there is an important debate about how we ensure that investment is rolled out more equitably into constituencies such as mine. I ask the Minister to comment on how the Government see the roll-out of EV infrastructure in areas where there are issues with the electricity grid and network, so that the just transition can happen in those areas as well.

• 16 Oct 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  As a Cherwell district councillor I was very keen on promoting citizens assemblies for the purpose of discussing climate change, but that is not the only thing that people might want to gather to talk about. Is the assumption that the subject would be prescribed by the mayor, or would it be okay for a citizens assembly to get together to discuss the death penalty, immigration or whatever? Could the hon. Lady clarify that?

• 17 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Southill Solar farm on the edge of the Wychwood forest near Charlbury provides community-owned power to 1,200 homes. That is another reason I am so passionate about this Government’s exciting agenda on renewable energy.

  Fully behind this. Fox hunting has no place in our society while we need more solar farms and wind turbines if we are to meet our Net Zero commitments. https://twitter.com/Smyth_Chris/status/1759477091114914124 [Source]

• 24 Jan 2024: Tweet

  @BanburyLabour councillors spent years calling for a Citizens Assembly on Climate Change and were pleased to finally get a motion on one passed last year. So I was delighted to attend the first one today. https://twitter.com/SEANLWOODCOCK/status/1750131074171097468/photo/1 [Source]

• 02 Dec 2023: Tweet

  The climate emergency is the most pressing issue facing humanity but we're led by a Prime Minister who demonstrates again and again that he does not take it seriously. https://twitter.com/Haggis_UK/status/1730602078555234667 [Source]

  Britain's housing crisis is acute, up there with the cost-of-living and climate change. There is no way out of it without building the homes we need. https://twitter.com/DanielHewittITV/status/1719511260817940873 [Source]

• 19 Oct 2023: Tweet

  Astonished to see Liberal Democrats & Greens in Cherwell suggest that Labour motions to tackle climate change & the cost-of-living are 'time wasting'. Especially when both of these motions were supported, without amendment, by the LDs and Greens. Unserious https://jackfm.co.uk/news/oxfordshire-news/accusations-of-playing-politics-at-cherwell-district-council/ [Source]

• 13 Oct 2023: Tweet

  @BanburyLabour councillors have always led the way on pushing climate change to the top of the agenda at @Cherwellcouncil . And here we are doing it again. https://twitter.com/banburyfm/status/1712776747165368356 [Source]

• 26 Jun 2023: Tweet

  Renewable energy without pylons to transfer the electricity. Interesting idea. https://twitter.com/BBCLookEast/status/1672896113744003073 [Source]

  This government is not serious about tackling Climate Change, the most important issue facing us today. https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/1585663503733559296 [Source]

• 28 Apr 2022: Tweet

  All this is going to do is alienate people who probably agree with them on the wider problem of climate change. Utterly stupid. https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1519564685774839808 [Source]

  This is one of the most ridiculous arguments there is. Not everyone can or should work from home. But very clearly there are people who can without affecting productivity. For so many reasons including the climate emergency, this view is short-sighted. https://twitter.com/nickeardleybbc/status/1445385381747302411 [Source]

  It is below Climate Change, rightly, in terms of priorities but not enough people including Labour members really understand how serious the housing shortage is. https://twitter.com/labour_council/status/1441829604608471045 [Source]

• 03 Sep 2021: Tweet

  Yeah, and there are Labour members who want to associate with this. Saving the environment and tackling climate change are the biggest challenges and priorities there is. Which is why Labour should have nothing to do with XR. https://twitter.com/YouGov/status/1433823282621521927 [Source]

• 18 Jun 2021: Tweet

  @bartramsgob @MrMutantes People shouldn't underestimate willingness of soft-Tories to give their government a good kicking when the view out of their back window might change. Can't expect people to back that just to tackle poverty or climate change. [Source]

  @jilloakes60 Action like motions stopping use of peat-free compost, planting more trees, ending use of plastic water bottles and declaring a Climate Emergency that Labour have all done at Cherwell and Banbury Town Councils? Or don't those count? [Source]

  @jilloakes60 @berenw @CEEbill_NOW Banbury Labour councillors have a proud record of championing issues related to Climate Change. We've done motions on single use plastics, ending use of peat-free compost and for more tree planting. We have nothing to prove as far as our green credentials are concerned. [Source]

  I went to an Extinction Rebellion meeting in Banbury a year or so ago. I encountered very committed people. All of them were dedicated to doing something to tackle climate change and raise awareness of it among the populace. I support this. I deplore their activities overnight. [Source]

  @SP_Duckworth @dijdowell Nigel Lawson or Owen Patterson can go on Radio 4 Today and casts doubt on climate change. No sanctions for the BBC. Maitlis and we get this. That is my point. [Source]

  @SP_Duckworth @dijdowell Won't comment on Maitlis except to say I've been equally furious at impartiality being an excuse to put all sorts of nonsense on. Such as climate change denial. [Source]

  @UKLabour There were many remainers, including me, who wanted to respect the referendum result. Who understood where it came from. But who did not want Brexit to signal the start of a culture war. Or to see our rights at work, as consumers or efforts to combat climate change damaged./3 [Source]
