• 24 Apr 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  We need a bold and positive plan to get closer to the EU, rather than capitulation to an untrustworthy US President on vital trading standards and regulations. So far, the Government’s reset of the UK-EU relationship has had some good points, such as some useful moves on reducing border checks on agrifoods, mutual recognition of qualifications and addressing problems facing touring artists, but we must go further. In particular, there is huge mutual benefit to be gained from greater climate and energy co-operation to ensure improved energy security and the delivery of net zero at a lower cost, so I hope the Minister can assure us that that will be a central part of the UK-EU reset and the upcoming summit.

  Pleased to join @StopCambo this week handing in a petition with a million signatures calling on the government to do the bare minimum to protect us from the climate crisis - commit to no new oil and gas. Time for govt to listen! https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1915381865390670030/photo/1 [Source]

• 23 Apr 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  I welcome the opportunity provided by the hon. Member for Aberdeen North (Kirsty Blackman) to debate transitional support for oil and gas workers, who are already bearing the brunt of the North sea’s disorderly decline as reserves have dwindled without a clear agreed plan. In my first ever job in the renewable energy sector in 2008—17 years ago now—I co-wrote a report on the huge potential of British North sea ports to move into the renewable energy industry as locations where offshore wind turbines and associated infrastructure are manufactured and then shipped. While some of that has been realised, a lot of opportunities were missed as jobs went overseas. The need for action is now urgent.

  We already know that new oil and gas projects are incompatible with averting the worst impacts of climate catastrophe. If the goal is also to provide North sea workers and communities with the long-term security that they deserve—and it must be—new oil and gas fields are still not the answer. Even with hundreds of new licences issued and new field approvals granted in the past decade, jobs supported by the UK oil and gas industry have more than halved already, and multiple sources predict a continued decline. We must protect those workers and provide security for that workforce, but in a declining basin that will not come from desperate attempts to double down on new drilling.

  As the hon. Member for Brent West (Barry Gardiner) said, alarmingly, just seven of the 87 North sea operators plan to invest anything at all in UK renewables between now and 2030. Instead, these companies are on a sunset ride, maximising profits from oil and gas while they still can, regardless of what that means for the rest of us. That lack of investment has clear consequences for workers, who are demanding clear pathways out of high-carbon jobs and into the renewable energy industry, where they know they have a longer-term future.

  Bristol is home to many cultural and creative organisations whose work opens our minds to think differently and create positive visions of the future - essential in the face of the climate crisis.

  Does my hon. Friend agree that we have the example of the citizens’ assembly on climate change, which was established jointly by six Select Committees of this House a couple of years ago?

  REVEALED: burning the oil from govt-licensed new oil fields would produce more CO2 than running 15 coal-fired power stations from now until 2050. #StopRosebank #NoNewOilAndGas https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1896945979125051695/video/1 [Source]

  Wow – amazing news this morning. Getting to net zero will be even cheaper than we previously thought & could save households £700 a year on bills, with more savings from switch to EVs. This is win-win-win for people in the UK and govt must commit to making it happen. https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1894668934885920944 [Source]

  Huge opportunities in the net zero economy if we invest properly - this is where govt should be focusing, not on climate wrecking airport expansion or oil drilling! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/24/britain-net-zero-economy-booming-cbi-green-sector-jobs-energy-security [Source]

  Really interesting to meet with the Centre for Sustainable Energy, based here in Bristol, to discuss how we can work together to make homes warmer and more energy efficient and to ensure that our communities are given the training and skills needed for a cleaner, greener future. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1892957285397205357/photo/1 [Source]

  This January was the hottest on record and people across the globe are feeling the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. But the far-right, bankrolled by the ultra-wealthy, are organising to destroy climate action. Here's how we can stop them: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/reform-uk-deny-climate-change-global-temperatures-b2693621.html [Source]

  Really glad @Ed_Miliband agrees that airport expansion can only take place within environmental limits. We know airport expansion is completely incompatible with reaching our climate targets, and therefore I look forward to hearing him confirm that govt won't back any expansion. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1886822571024249309/video/1 [Source]

  I've just registered my opposition to plans to expand Bristol Airport - they're not only reckless and irresponsible in the face of the climate crisis but would expose residents to severe noise, road congestion and pollution.
