Labour's Climate Investment Pledge - £28bn of new investment every year of this crucial decade - is the foundation of the Green New Deal we need to tackle this crisis while creating good jobs for all. [Source]
27 Feb 2022 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) We need to stop electing politicians who don't care about science.
Politicians ignoring scientific evidence and advice when it comes to climate change or dealing with a global pandemic, or not simply not understanding the importance of UK science jobs, it affects us all. https://twitter.com/DannyVet/status/1497866845818433543 [Source]

22 Feb 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) If we had the renewable energy the Government is going to procure this year already on the grid, bill payers would be £100 better off than they are now.
The Tory Government must reform Ofgem's remit to allow the proactive development of our grid to enable energy roll-out ???? https://x.com/Wera_Hobhouse/status/1496101907722653699/video/1 [Source]

21 Feb 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) The Conservatives' failure in tackling the climate crisis and their incompetence has worsened the cost of living crisis for so many people.

21 Feb 2022 Olivia Blake MP (@_OliviaBlake) Today is 100 days since the end of #COP26
We knew then that the #GlasgowClimatePact was not enough to keep us below 1.5C.
And in the 100 days since, the Govt has done nothing to increase ambition or drive action - choosing instead to continue to stall a #JustTransition at home [Source]
21 Feb 2022 Steff Aquarone MP (@Steffanaquarone) "Time consuming, expensive... a PR exercise": one of @NorfolkTories on Citizens' Assemblies to tackle the climate emergency. Sadly he's the cabinet member responsible for taking environmental policy to the people in charge of the council! [Source]
20 Feb 2022 Torsten Bell MP (@TorstenBell) The huge gap between rhetoric and reality on economic change matters. It focuses our attention on the wrong problems and drives us to the wrong answers.

14 Feb 2022 Gill Furniss MP (@GillFurnissMP) I am passionate that our transition to net zero, whilst essential, must also be fair.

11 Feb 2022 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) Here’s what GDP doesn’t tell you:
- Climate change worsening
- Mental health crisis deepening

We need to update how we measure our economy to include the health and wellbeing of people & planet.

09 Feb 2022 Jeremy Corbyn MP (@jeremycorbyn) This project will expand Britain’s largest incinerator by 30% and release 700,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions over London.
As well as a health and environment concern, this is a social justice issue — UK waste incinerators are three times as likely to be placed in deprived areas. [Source]

Gas is Fossil fuel. We need to stop being so widely dependent on it asap.
Calling it a ‘transition fuel’ reveals that the Tories are actively delaying Climate Action. [Source]
04 Feb 2022 Peter Lamb MP (@CllrPetesTweets) Communities should have the chance to produce and own energy directly, rather than being held to random. With the cost of energy skyrocketing and a climate emergency, now is not the time to pull the plug on community energy. Agree?
