30 Jan 2021 Lewis Atkinson MP (@LewisAtkinson) Great 'Building a better North Tyneside' policy consultation session with @Norma4Mayor@Carl_Johnson03 & 60+ local Labour members this morning.
Productive conversations about local Labour's post-Covid priorities on climate change, education, poverty, adult & children's services [Source]

26 Jan 2021 Kerry McCarthy MP (@KerryMP) @JonBeale10@GretaThunberg I think we need to take swifter and stronger action, yes - COP26 is going to be crucial but we also have domestic things like Sixth Carbon Budget, and Environment Bill, and Labour calls for green recovery package. [Source]
25 Jan 2021 Wendy Chamberlain MP (@wendychambLD) RT @timfarron: Britain's hosting of #COP26 has been massively undermined by the Government giving the green light for a new coal mine in Cu… [Source]
23 Jan 2021 Emily Darlington MP (@emily4MK) Great news that the Bletchley to Bicester train line has had its funding confirmed but it is deeply disappointing that the line won’t be electric. Seems very shortsighted and a missed opportunity to combat climate change https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55770529 [Source]
23 Jan 2021 Ian Sollom MP (@IanSollom) “Diesel engines will initially run on the lines, but Mr Shapps said he hoped more environmentally friendly trains ... would replace them in the future.”
Some vague aspiration for the future isn’t good enough. EWR should be zero emission from day 1! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55770529 [Source]

21 Jan 2021 Sarah Olney MP (@sarahjolney1) Fantastic news that the US has re-joined the #ParisClimateAgreement ????
The fight against climate change is the most serious threat we face as a planet and America’s reintroduction to the effort is as welcome as it is necessary ????

20 Jan 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Having turned our back on the countries at the frontline of the climate emergency by cutting international aid, the PM must now dial up his diplomatic, strategic and political efforts to the maximum ahead of the vital COP26. (5/5) [Source]
20 Jan 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) The same cannot be said of our Prime Minister, who still treats climate change policy as window dressing rather than the building blocks of our country's recovery, and has failed to deliver plans for the ambitious green economic recovery we need. (3/5) [Source]
20 Jan 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) The US rejoining the fight against climate change is a cause for celebration and relief. It comes not a moment too soon, with less than a decade left to avert the most devastating consequences, and after four years of Trump acting as a roadblock to progress.

19 Jan 2021 Al Pinkerton MP (@AlPinkerton) @mr_perez5@RHULGeography This helps to frame geopolitical interest in everything from climate change, the exploitation of rare earth minerals, maritime and territorial claims, bordering practices - as well as the stories and narratives that are told to shape our interpretation of these issues. [Source]
17 Jan 2021 Helen Hayes MP (@helenhayes_) Many priorities for planning reform - like delivering more social housing & tackling climate change - so Robert Jenrick chooses wrestling back control from local communities who want to reexamine their history & decide who continues to be honoured with statues in public spaces ????????♀️ [Source]
17 Jan 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) Cornwall's Climate Change agenda leads other parts of the country after a Labour amendment declaring a Climate Emergency and a 2030 target for carbon neutrality. Our Green Economy should be leading the way too. Cornwall needs investment leading to well-paid, fulltime jobs....5/6 [Source]
17 Jan 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) The G7 this year will be all about the post-Covid recovery and climate change.
Therefore, Cornwall is the perfect place to host. Not so much because of its stunning beauty, but because of its post-industrial history, environmental opportunities and climate change agenda. 1/4 [Source]

17 Jan 2021 Ed Davey MP (@EdwardJDavey) Liberal Democrats have always fought for environmental protection and green policies. The climate emergency now demands even greater ambition.
I'm calling for a bold Green Economic Recovery Plan to create new jobs in Britain & tackle the huge threat of the climate crisis. #Marr https://x.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1350760275851374592/video/1 [Source]
15 Jan 2021 Liz Twist MP (@LizTwistMP) Not only will it save residents money, but it will help us in our transition towards a zero-carbon future. People care hugely about climate change, and it's important that communities like ours aren't left behind in this transition. [Source]
15 Jan 2021 Jeremy Hunt MP (@Jeremy_Hunt) Event ends with a guest appearance from Jeremy’s son asking Tony Blair: ‘Do you think the climate crisis will be over by the time I’m your age, or do you think the world is going to end?’ #CHevents [Source]
13 Jan 2021 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) @BBC_Hayley The #CheltenhamZero conference had more than 100 people attending - all committed to getting together to fight the climate emergency. It was a hugely positive day and I was inspired by all the businesses and community groups. [Source]

12 Jan 2021 Keir Starmer MP (@Keir_Starmer) Today I met with leading climate and environmental campaigners.
Tackling the climate emergency is the defining challenge of the next decade.
It must be at the heart of our rebuild from this pandemic. It will determine the society we live in, and the kind of planet we live on. https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1349023155894038535/photo/1 [Source]
12 Jan 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) @heatpolicyrich@Kate_de@CornwallCouncil@bernarddeacon Not in CC’s own house building under the HRA and HDP but we have no powers to stop private developers doing it until gas boilers prevented in 2025. I have been arguing 4 zero carbon & new climate change dpd does go some way towards it. Frustrating as they’ll all need retrofitting [Source]
11 Jan 2021 Rachael Maskell MP (@RachaelMaskell) Unbelievable - the Green Party didn't oppose a new multi-story car park in York. We urgently need to decarbonise and decongest York. #ClimateEmergency @UKLabour once again standing up for the environment and our future #CarFreeCity , good public transport and #ActiveTravel.

06 Jan 2021 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) Delighted to see that the Democrats got their double win in Georgia - replacing one of the most right wing republicans with the first black senator in the state and Ossoff becomes the first Jewish senator for Georgia too unseating a climate change denier https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1346927424932515841 [Source]

05 Jan 2021 Jeevun Sandher MP (@JeevunSandher) @claytonj944 Spearheading the Paris Climate Accords that gives humanity a fighting chance of stopping catastrophic climate change and preventing a genocide in Libya places him in the same league as FDR. None of the other post-war Presidents come close, and pre-war was largely isolationist [Source]

04 Jan 2021 Brian Mathew MP (@BrianMathew4NW) @GeorgeMonbiot@dpcarrington Air and into the ground. It seemed like a wonderful solution to climate change and the continued farming if cattle. I am a Wiltshire County Councillor and I am on the task group looking to how we can make Wilts carbon neutral. Help! Please email me Brian.mathew@wiltshire.gov.uk [Source]
04 Jan 2021 Ellie Chowns MP (@EllieChowns) Back to my virtual office today.
In the inbox: flooding, Covid, climate crisis. So far 2021 is much like 2020...
But here’s my New Year’s resolution: hope for the best, then work your socks off to make it happen!

01 Jan 2021 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) At home in the U.K., we genuinely have a world leading decarbonising target. That’s great, but it has to be delivered. We’ll also be leading the scrutiny of this on @CommonsBEIS starting with our first session back on the Energy White Paper. /14 [Source]
