  Thanks to Labour colleagues for electing me to the Commons Energy and Net Zero committee, scrutinising government and industry as we ensure the transition to clean power has communities at its heart and creates and protects jobs. https://x.com/Torcuil/status/1846268559145705515/photo/1 [Source]

  Why is there no Cabinet Secretary for Transport in the new Scottish cabinet? Previously there was a Minister for ‘Net Zero, Energy & Transport’ now the Transport title has gone from any brief. Is it because its just embarrassing? http://www.hebrides-news.com/south-uist-ferry-withdrawn-for-six-weeks-29323.html [Source]

  First they came for the rail franchises...by the end of the this we'll be booking flights on http://gov.uk airlines. That is if we opt to carry on taking environmentally unfriendly holidays and business trips. After this crisis the climate crisis has to be looked at too https://twitter.com/airlivenet/status/1245376204355645442 [Source]

  SECC in Glasgow, due to be venue for COP26 climate change conference, will be turned into a temporary hospital with 300 additional beds and potential capacity for 1000, FM confirms. Not needed right now says @NicolaSturgeon but sensible to prepare. [Source]

• 10 Mar 2020: Tweet

  Peace in our time. Scottish government climbdown in flag-flying row with the UK Gov over using Glasgow science centre as the base for Cop26 UN climate change conference. @andydphilip has the story: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/snp-climate-conference-climb-down-21668409 [Source]

• 13 Feb 2020: Tweet

  Alok Sharma MP to Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. He will also be Minister for COP26. People say he doesn't know anything about environment. More importantly he doesn't know the first thing about how the SNP operate and the turf war over Glasgow conf. is far from over. [Source]

• 04 Feb 2020: Tweet

  Sturgeon steps in to try and douse a forest fire of a row between ScotGov & UKgov over climate change conference and her part in it. Johnson said to have rejected giving FM a role with some "salty language". https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/1224622359967162368 [Source]

• 04 Feb 2020: Tweet

  @NicolaSturgeon Sacked climate adviser Claire O Neill adds Glasgow "city council amazing" but in the "playground politics" between Johnson & UK Sturgeon she claims "Scottish gov behaved disgracefully, for ex, contracting buildings that are on the Cop site that should be available to conference" [Source]

• 04 Feb 2020: Tweet

  Claire O'Neill blows lid off toxic stand-off between UK and Scot gov over COP26 Climate summit.Says Johnson considered moving Nov conference from Glasgow because of lack of co-operation. Her suggestion that @NicolaSturgeon be offered a role dismissed by PM with "salty language". [Source]

  "By participating so eagerly in the mining boom, Australia might also have been helping to dig its own grave.

  Wow, Ireland not to issue new oil exploration licences. Irish reserves small (maybe 2 bn barrels) compared to North Sea (maybe 20 bn). But climate crisis will start being taken seriously when mantra changes from "It's Scotland's oil" to "leave it in the ground" https://twitter.com/GreenpeaceUK/status/1176171087769559041 [Source]

• 01 May 2019: Tweet

  To tackle climate change we have to get serious about the sentiments of this speech. Chasing ever-rising GDP figures guarantees we'll burn the planet. A wellbeing measure sounds airy fairy but proper housing, green spaces and working less are good for env & reducing inequality https://twitter.com/ScotGovFM/status/1123536653329604608 [Source]

• 08 Mar 2019: Tweet

  Labour going green - Corbyn talking about climate change as a working class issue. McDonnell to major on that too, citing school strikers. [Source]

  @LangBanks @dpcarrington Presume that excludes peat, Lang, which if I remember vaguely, the Irish government managed to get off the list of fossil fuels at the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009? [Source]

• 06 Jul 2018: Tweet

  Ha, @NicolaSturgeon just took a swipe at @realDonaldTrump over climate change and his opposition to wind turbines off coast of his Aberdeen golf course "These wind turbines just generated 1st electricity, soon they will be generating enough for almost 3/4 of homes in Aberdeen" [Source]

• 24 Jan 2018: Tweet

  Energy Minister @claireperrymp told MPs at Scottish Q that remote islands invited to bid for the next £560 million auction for renewable energy projects. Funding for subsea cables for Lewis, Orkney and Shetland if they can get their applications in order [Source]
