30 Sep 2019 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) Brilliant to see such a great turnout at the Yate and Sodbury Climate Change meeting #ClimateAction [Source]
27 Sep 2019 Ellie Chowns MP (@EllieChowns) I’ve just been at the @MakeUK_ Regional Advisory Board meeting to listen to West Midlands manufacturers’ views. Most are deeply integrated with #EU economy. #Brexit is immensely damaging to UK manufacturing. We need the sector strong for #GreenNewDeal & #netzero transition [Source]
26 Sep 2019 Graham Stuart MP (@grahamstuart) We’re producing more renewable energy than ever before while DIT is promoting the export of UK low carbon expertise worldwide. As we innovate and drive down costs for Net Zero the resulting technology will lead to more jobs in the UK and a real fall in emissions across the globe https://twitter.com/OliverCooper/status/1177185389515354117 [Source]
24 Sep 2019 Andrew Pakes MP (@andrewpakes_) Strikes me trust needs to be high on agenda for Green New Deal. Amazing energy from campaigners. But a lot of anxiety from workers & unions on how change will be done. We need to work to build a #JustTransition: words need to become real & part of shared conversation [Source]

23 Sep 2019 Georgia Gould MP (@Georgia_Gould) Any Brexit deal will leave us poorer, make our public services worse, and waste years of political energy. We need to Remain in the EU and focus on a radical Labour policy agenda to tackle the urgent issues we face from youth violence to climate crisis. [Source]
23 Sep 2019 Torcuil Crichton MP (@Torcuil) 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]
23 Sep 2019 Ellie Chowns MP (@EllieChowns) In August I met several of these councils – Birmingham, Worcester, Herefordshire etc are doing good work! Declaring a #ClimateEmergency , investing in public transport + divesting pensions from fossil fuels. A good start to a green, zero-carbon transition. [Source]
23 Sep 2019 Ellie Chowns MP (@EllieChowns) Last Friday I marched to support the thousands of young people across the UK who are demanding urgent action on climate change. Local councils need to step up and meet that demand: start the zero-carbon transition from ground up! [Source]

22 Sep 2019 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) @JimmyOKeefe@CheltGreenParty@shccheltenham There are regular events and environmental issues are never far away from the council meeting agendas. We had a climate emergency meeting too. I’m pleased that I specifically invited the Green Party so they could take part. ???? [Source]
21 Sep 2019 Georgia Gould MP (@Georgia_Gould) Young people are dying on our streets. We face a Brexit & climate crisis & a general election which will shape the future of our country. Labour should be putting all our energy into standing up for communities facing injustice. Let’s take on the Tories not our own deputy leader [Source]
21 Sep 2019 Louie French MP (@louie_french) The challenge of climate change is far too important to be party politicised the way it was yesterday blatantly for young votes. A green evolution is already taking place and it is the capitalist system and consumer power that are driving changes in boardrooms globally. 1/2 [Source]
20 Sep 2019 Rachel Blake MP (@RNBlake) Kids lungs in Tower Hamlets are up to 10% smaller because of air pollution. Our most deprived communities have some of the worst pollution. Today, #ClimateAction day, I say thank you to kids in Poplar for sharing your ideas for cleaning up our air and stopping climate change https://twitter.com/RNBlake/status/1175077339950190593/video/1 [Source]
20 Sep 2019 Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) Mary, instead of insulting Brexiteers look a little closer to home.
I’ve just got back from Strasbourg where the EU drags thousands of people across Europe generating 19,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. Around driving 3000 cars for a whole year.
EU’s do as I say not as I do policy! https://twitter.com/galaxygal44/status/1175075566787158017 [Source]
20 Sep 2019 Edward Morello MP (@EdwardMorelloWD) Five new policies announced by @LibDems:
1. New Treasury Cabinet Minister to ensure all govt policy helps achieve net-zero
2. Citizens assemblies on climate policy
3. A ban on all new combustion engine vehicles
4. 80% renewable energy by 2030
5. Plant 60m trees a year [Source]
20 Sep 2019 Dan Carden MP (@DanCardenMP) RT @jeremycorbyn: Young people and workers are coming out to say enough is enough.
I’m proud to be joining London’s largest climate crisis… [Source]
20 Sep 2019 John Glen MP (@JohnGlenUK) Extremely proud of our record on climate change. No need for anyone to skip school today when we have decarbonised the economy at the fastest rate in the G20 since 2000 and we were the first major economy to set a legally binding net zero target. #climatestrike [Source]
19 Sep 2019 Terry Jermy MP (@CllrTerryJermy) @Jemimasgarden@BreckCouncil declaring a climate emergency acknowledges that there is a problem. The Council will now produce a plan looking at what is can change to reduce its impact on the environment and lead by example to others. [Source]
19 Sep 2019 Terry Jermy MP (@CllrTerryJermy) Delighted that the Breckland Labour Group motion to declare a climate emergency at @BreckCouncil today has been APPROVED. Well done Councillor Susie Dowling. Sad that it was not unanimous, with several Tories voting against, but progress nevertheless. [Source]
19 Sep 2019 Daniel Zeichner MP (@DanielZeichner) RT @serauk: Worried about the impact of the #ClimateCrisis on nature and our national parks?

18 Sep 2019 Zöe Franklin MP (@ZoeFranklinLD) "The #ClimateEmergency is real and we must act now to ensure planet earth and our long term survival. I am therefore delighted that @LibDems Conference this weekend passed an ambitious strategy to reach net zero 2045." Read more here: https://buff.ly/309NTs3@GuildfordLibDem [Source]
14 Sep 2019 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) Biodiversity loss is not getting as much attention as climate change - As Lib Dem MEPs we’re fighting to get this important issue more attention in the European Parliament. #LDConf [Source]
14 Sep 2019 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) At a packed meeting on dealing with the Climate Emergency - setting out ideas like a 10 year plan to make every building in the UK highly energy efficient [Source]
14 Sep 2019 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) “For us climate change is the most pressing issue of our age.
We will make sure Britain is a world leader... Imagine our urban spaces free from congestion. Imagine a national environment where biodiversity thrives... Being a Liberal Democrat and being an environmentalist goes [Source]
10 Sep 2019 Phil Brickell MP (@Phil_Brickell) Great news that @WSELabourParty has passed a conference motion supporting a Green New Deal. At a time of increasing damage to our environment, as a party we must show leadership in de-carbonising our economy & encouraging all others to do so. [Source]
09 Sep 2019 Satvir Kaur MP (@LabourSatvir) We need to stop building houses like the egyptians built pyramids. Good quality, energy efficient, and custom made modular housing is the future! It was great to see how NetZero modular housing factory worked in Cambridge today!

04 Sep 2019 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) @BuddieBuddiee@NilsVisser We need to stop electing politicians don’t believe in science. We need to stop electing politicians who don’t understand that climate change is the most serious issue facing our civilisation in the 21st century. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange [Source]
04 Sep 2019 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) Sajid David just offered to spend £30 million to get us to net zero. by contrast the Liberal Democrats would pass a Zero-Carbon Britain Act to set new legally binding targets to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2040 and to zero by 2050. [Source]
04 Sep 2019 Rebecca Long-Bailey MP (@RLong_Bailey) Sajid Javid announced £30 million of new spending to get to net zero. This is a derisory amount in the face of a climate emergency - Green groups are calling for an additional £25 billion.
Labour will spend £250 billion over 10 years to usher in a Green Industrial Revolution. [Source]
03 Sep 2019 Gideon Amos MP (@GideonJAmos) Boris Johnson’s Conservatives are trying to railroad a no deal crash by threatening a General Election. Putting the country first means preventing no deal, then making the climate emergency, our schools, NHS and public services the priority #readytowin here in Taunton Deane! https://twitter.com/Wera_Hobhouse/status/1169015210407075840 [Source]
