• 8 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  If we are to have a new industrial revolution here in the UK as we meet the challenge of climate change, let us make it with our hands and our brains, in the place that was the crucible of the first industrial revolution, the Black Country. I stand for no more and no less than this: prosperity for every family. My friends at the TUC worked out that if wages had risen in the last decade by the amount by which they rose between 1997 and 2010, the average worker in my constituency would be £93 a week better off. That is nearly five grand a year more in people’s pockets. In the Black Country, we work hard, but forces bigger than any individual—deindustrialisation, Thatcherism, and the cruel austerity of these last 14 years —mean that good folk there earn less and have fewer chances and fewer choices than people elsewhere.

  The Black Country was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution. As we meet the challenges of climate change, if the UK is to have a new Industrial Revolution - let’s make it in the Black Country. https://x.com/antoniabance/status/1843671053106909695/video/1 [Source]

  @rachelcoldicutt I couldn’t agree more with this. We see it on the climate crisis all the time - docs saying “we have three years to stop irreversible global warming … here is our plan to spend 10% of our endowment in the next decade” [Source]

  @Duncan_Exley I am afraid I think it’s self-indulgent to stop funding necessary work during this cost of living, public services, racial justice and climate crisis in order to purify themselves. Do both. [Source]

  @LindyWilliams3 @ali__samson Climate action is necessary. We are not the US - both Tory and Labour voters agree. That is precious for progress on climate action. The problem with Ulez is implementation, not the existence of action on climate change per se. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater [Source]

  @deargodwhatnow Yes! It is totally in line with our traditions to prioritise preserving jobs (a just transition is a negotiated transition, as Sharon Graham says) and to dismiss direct action. [Source]

  @gabrielmilland Pay needs to come first. Then there's a chance to look at real drivers (eg new tech, climate change, older population) that require changes to working practices (And I am glad you think NEU are great - I agree!) [Source]
