05 Nov 2025 On BBC Newsnight yesterday, I warned: the Chancellor’s fiscal rules now fuel instability — not prevent it. As climate breakdown makes economies and societies increasingly unstable, we need bold changes to give us a chance of coping — not just talk of tax rises for all of us. https://x.com/labourlewis/status/1986019225253687381/video/1 [Source]

12 Jul 2025 People ask why I chose water for my Private Member’s Bill. Here’s why: 1. Climate crisis = water insecurity 2. Privatisation is a disaster 3. Exploitation & price-gouging = rising bills 4. Pollution is wrecking ecosystems 5. Justice demands clean, public water Water belongs to all of us.

11 Jul 2025 There’s a drought in the north-west after the driest spring since 1893. Decades of political failure left us exposed to climate breakdown impacts like this. Water privatisation led to reservoirs sold off, infrastructure neglected & dividends extracted. We need public ownership. [Source]

13 Jun 2025 Don’t be alarmed. Our rivers and natural water resources are in safe privatised hands. We’re ready for whatever the climate crisis throws at us in coming years.. As long as super-profits are available. https://twitter.com/CopernicusEMS/status/1933067776530293055 [Source]

29 May 2025 Amidst the driest Spring in 69 years, the National Drought Group says many water companies’ plan for drought is « simply praying for rain. » Private water companies cannot adequately prepare us for the existential threat of climate change. It's time for public ownership. https://x.com/labourlewis/status/1928023933338476796/video/1 [Source]

09 May 2025 Climate breakdown is happening, and is bringing a soaring risk of droughts and floods. We must build resilience into our water system or face the unthinkable: taps running dry. Privatised water companies can't, and won't, protect us. Here's why. ???? [Source]

01 Apr 2025 It’s not ‘Awful April’. It’s the culmination of a fifty-year fuckerie As @MartinSLewis warns, corporate price gouging is on the rise.

19 Feb 2025 1/ The question of who owns our water is more urgent than ever. ????Climate breakdown means higher risks of floods & droughts. ????Decades of neoliberalism have eroded democracy & trust. ????The cost-of-living crisis & soaring bills have left families struggling. [Source]

30 Jan 2025 @Selhurstboys Synthetic fuels still produce nitrous oxide and toxic ultra fine particulate matter? It’s entirely possible to decarbonise and still destroy the planet/ourselves. [Source]

30 Jan 2025 5/ Producing SAFs—especially synthetic fuels—requires massive amounts of renewable electricity. Shiuld we prioritise an energy-hungry, high-emission industry over decarbonising sectors like homes, transport, answer & industry? That & higher demand pushes up our energy prices. [Source]

30 Jan 2025 1/ Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) are being sold as the magic bullet for decarbonising air travel. Let’s break down why SAFs are NOT a panacea and why we need deeper changes to tackle aviation’s climate impact. ???????? https://x.com/labourlewis/status/1884896348945703332/photo/1 [Source]

25 Jan 2025 I spoke in support of the Climate and Nature Bill. In this clip from my speech, I explain that the climate and nature crises are here right now, and we need more decisive action now, too. The Bill didn't pass, but I am pleased the government has responded constructively, including new promises to report progress towards climate and nature targets, consulting the Bill’s supporters about forthcoming environmental legislation, and more meetings between the government and MPs concerned about the c [Source]

21 Jan 2025 4/ As I'm quoted in the article as saying: “The CCC has called for ‘no net airport expansion’ in the UK. That’s because it’s completely incompatible with the government’s own net zero strategy.” Sustainability must lead, but fairness is key to delivering it. ???? [Source]

21 Jan 2025 1/ If this becomes government aviation policy then it will fail both the environment and fairness. While aiming to expand airport capacity, it’s completely incompatible with their own net zero strategy. The CCC has even called for “no net airport expansion” in the UK. ????✈️ https://x.com/labourlewis/status/1881697350110060992/photo/1 [Source]

19 Dec 2024 Water is a critical national resource. All life and ecological health depends on it. Climate breakdown means higher risks of floods, droughts, and water shortages are looming. We urgently need proper investment to mitigate and adapt, and ensure everyone can access water. 4/6 [Source]

11 Dec 2024 Again it depends on which model of public ownership you opt for? It also depends on the form of corporate governance you opt for. Having privately owned not for profits with hybrid worker/local govt/consumer/company representation is another option. The climate crisis demands we think outside the box and decide on what’s best for certain strategic objectives ie climate adaption and effective investment. Not simply one that benefits a minority or is based on ideological considerations that only [Source]

29 Nov 2024 Even more fundamentally, COP still assumes we can "solve" the climate crisis through mitigation. But this ignores the now. Adaptation prepares for the crises already unfolding, while mitigation works to prevent future catastrophe. Both are essential. 7/12 [Source]

29 Nov 2024 Global warming is locked in. Even if we halted emissions today, past greenhouse gas levels ensure rising seas, extreme weather, and food insecurity. Billionaires know it, that’s why they’re building bunkers. But we need deep adaption for everyone. 1/12 #ClimateActionNow [Source]

29 Nov 2024 After the failure of #COP29, it's time to face a hard truth: mitigation alone is no longer enough. We need deep adaptation – preparing for inevitable climate impacts while addressing systemic injustices. Those two imperatives are significant parts of what my Water Bill attempts to do. ????

04 Sep 2024 From flooded British farms to the desertification of Sicily, the climate crisis requires careful water management. It's existential: water must be brought into public ownership. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1831376682839679110/video/1 [Source]

30 Aug 2024 These two water companies both have the same problem. They've made it extremely clear that they're unfit to keep us safe from the climate crisis. If privatised water can't deal with a slightly wet summer, it certainly won't keep us safe from extreme weather. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1829457895802462701/photo/1 [Source]

29 Aug 2024 Hats off to campaigners who challenged the licence and the movement which led to the law making it possible.

01 Aug 2024 This CEO accidentally makes the case for bringing water under public control.

29 Jul 2024 The face of the climate crisis in 4K. Make no mistake: This will be on your doorstep. That's because fossil fuel CEOs are isolated from climate change, tucked away in air-conditioned compounds. It's time to stand up to those polluters and end fossil fuel extraction. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1817896758237675732 https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1817896758237675732/photo/1 [Source]

28 Jul 2024 Growth has to be sustainable, take into account ecological implications and ensure it benefits the broadest range of constituents. Not just the wealthy. If in decarbonising the economy we destroy our already depleted ecosystems, we’ve failed. [Source]

25 Jul 2024 Written by scientists, the Climate and Nature Bill would lock into law our international obligations and restore the UK as a global climate leader. As a supporter of the #CANBill, I look forward to this government adopting a science-led approach to tackling the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/zerohour_uk/status/1816149517181272351 [Source]

06 Jul 2024 6/7 I will represent those who voted in hope of a government that stands firm against anyone trying to stop the action needed to avert the worst of human created climate change; for one which sees net zero as a challenge to be seized not something to hide from or wish away. [Source]

10 Jun 2024 5/ Climate breakdown means thousands of people’s homes could be flooded yearly, rendering them unliveable. This could happen in just a few years. Environmental regulators even warn we could run out of water in the summer by 2050. [Source]

10 Jun 2024 4/ Priority issue: Climate and Environment. East Anglia is the UK region most at risk from early climate impacts. Climate breakdown has already arrived here. Between 2022-23 the number of flood reports in Norfolk doubled. In 2023, the Wensum River in Norwich burst its banks. [Source]

22 May 2024 Climate change means we are seeing extreme weather patterns - from droughts to flooding. This demands careful water management and investment in adaptation. The private sector has prioritised profit & payouts, when we really need investment for present and future challenges. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1793217985278066979/photo/1 [Source]

21 May 2024 The Pacific Island States are susceptible to some of the worst impacts of the climate crisis. 9 of these states are calling for the international community to back their Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

17 May 2024 @NewAngliaEnergy @crisortunity We’ll be explaining how and why public ownership of water is the best option and how it can be done cost effectively. No one should be making profit from a natural monopoly as critical as water given the climate crisis. Everything should be reinvested for adaption. [Source]

14 May 2024 Our privatised water system cannot build the infrastructure we need to adapt to climate change.

Their silence was staggering. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1790424698703995255/video/1 [Source]

13 May 2024 The country is crying out for real progressive change. 67% of Conservative voters want a four-day work week. That's because it improves mental health, supports the economy, and helps tackle the climate crisis. A no-brainer of a policy. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1790033497689596139/photo/1 [Source]

22 Apr 2024 For a just transition, we need a science-led approach to our climate and nature legislation. That's why I have co-sponsored the Climate and Nature Bill.

09 Feb 2024 Our millionaire prime minister pays the same tax rate as a teacher. The climate crisis is driven by the emissions of the wealthiest, not low and middle-income earners.

21 Jan 2022 The ink on #COP26 isn't even dry and this Government is paving the way for oil exploration. Instead of deepening our fossil fuel addiction we should invest in renewables and home insulation, ensuring those on low to median incomes are first to benefit. https://www.reuters.com/article/amp/idINL8N2TZ5IF/ [Source]

20 Jan 2022 3. Invest in decarbonisation, where a just transition on jobs and roll-out is central. That means ensuring the lions share of investment goes to those on median and low incomes and ensuring a fair jobs transition. @GNDRising https://www.gndrising.org/campaigns/back-the-gnd-bill/ [Source]

20 Jan 2022 2. We backtrack on our already insufficient decarbonisation plans - as many Tories, including the Chancellor - and double down on new oil and gas. This would deepen our carbon addiction and make the inevitable carbon crash all the more devastating. https://www.cityam.com/treasury-considers-cutting-green-levy-to-ease-cost-of-living-crisis-for-uk-households/ [Source]
