• 30 Jul 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  The Government are reconnecting Britain with the world in European capitals, in NATO and at Blenheim, and I have been resetting relations with Europe and reinforcing support for Ukraine. I have also deepened partnerships with the global south to tackle the climate crisis and unlock economic growth, and I am taking a balanced approach on the middle east, calling for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages and more aid into Gaza.

  A Labour Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office will focus relentlessly on where we can make a difference to the UK’s growth. Where we can accelerate the net zero transition. Where we can enhance the UK’s economic security. Great to speak at Labour's Business Conference. https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1753113796003193217/photo/1 [Source]

  The climate crisis is reaching a tipping point. The government has squandered the UK's climate leadership so it can wage culture wars at home. Labour will seek a new clean power alliance to help deliver cheap, clean and secure energy at home. https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1752671511666622621/video/1 [Source]

• 30 Jan 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  From the floods to the fires, from melting ice sheets to ocean heat, the climate crisis is reaching a tipping point. Labour has a plan at home: doubling onshore wind, trebling solar and ending new oil and gas licences in the North sea. Labour has a plan internationally: a clean power alliance of developed and developing countries to drive forward the transition. Is it not the truth that the Government have no plan and have squandered Britain’s climate reputation to wage culture wars at home?

  Excellent to meet with @LulaOficial, Celso Amorim and Foreign Minister Mauro Viera at #COP28. @Keir_Starmer, @Ed_Miliband and I are committed to deepening UK-Brazil cooperation.

• 14 Nov 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  At a time of grave international crisis and at a moment of war in Europe, with a more assertive China, a climate emergency and a horrifying conflict in Gaza, this House needs Government accountability more than ever. Will the Minister commit to working closely with Mr Speaker to ensure that the Opposition and all Members of Parliament can hold the Foreign Secretary to account?

  Rishi Sunak’s decision to drop his own climate commitments shows he’s in disarray, dancing to Liz Truss’ pathetic tune. His announcement today piles on more costs to consumers, has enraged business and is destroying Britain’s climate leadership. We need a general election now. https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1704533849386918361/photo/1 [Source]

  Instead of going to the UN General Assembly like every PM for the last decade, Sunak is staying in London plotting this. Total farce. This government is in disarray and failing on the climate crisis. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66857551 [Source]

  An honour to share a stage with the brilliant @Justinjpearson at #TEDcountdown. Progressives across the world need to come together to find fair and just solutions to the climate crisis.

  Zac Goldsmith's resignation statement is damning. Labour's Foreign Office will restore the UK's climate leadership by pushing to make climate action the UN's 4th pillar, creating a clean power alliance, a new law of ecocide and reversing the Tories' sacking of the climate envoy. https://twitter.com/ZacGoldsmith/status/1674687701834932227 [Source]

• 13 Jun 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  Our allies in the United States, the European Union, Australia and Germany have all entered the global race to reach net zero and create the jobs of the future with massive public investment, but the Government’s Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero described the United States Inflation Reduction Act as “dangerous” and the Chancellor described it as “distortive” and “not the British way.” Does the Foreign Secretary agree with his colleagues in Cabinet or our allies in the United States? It will be interesting to see whether the Foreign Secretary answers.

• 13 Mar 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  The Secretary of State also needs to reflect on where his golden thread has frayed. The Government were flatfooted in the crisis over Afghanistan, and there is still the issue of British Council workers. What lessons have been learned for the future from that debacle? What are his ambitions in rebuilding with the European Union, and where is the detail on dealing with the global climate crisis? It is barely mentioned in the documents. International aid should not be used as a trade lever, yet that is still part of the UK Government’s plans. Increased military spending needs more detail. When will that come to the House? Security expert Edward Lucas has warned:

  I welcome what I heard was the recognition that when it comes to China we need to do far more to defend our values, while recognising that there are global public goods that we need to work on together, such as climate change, nuclear proliferation in the Pacific and global development. Since the last integrated review, the so-called “tilt” to the Indo-Pacific has entailed £3 million extra in FCDO staff, three extra British high commissioners in the Pacific, two extra warships and less than 1% of the MOD headcount. That it not a tilt but a glance in the right direction. Could the Foreign Secretary tell us how big the package will be to finance the tilt needed to an area of £4.3 billion people?

  I very much welcome the review that my right hon. Friend has announced today. He spoke about the relevance of the critical minerals strategy. May I highlight something for him to take back to other Departments that work alongside his? We all recognise the lessons to be learned from our reliance on Russian minerals, and how we have had to change that, but 95% of the elements used in renewable energy—solar panels or whatever—are processed in China. We cannot escape the science, but we can ask other Departments to diversify how we do renewables. Will my right hon. Friend take back to other Departments the message that we need to look at investing in and working on things like hydrogen combustion, so that we are not entirely reliant on minerals coming out of China?

  Labour's mission-driven government will secure the highest sustained growth in the G7, accelerate to Net Zero, build an NHS fit for the future, make our streets safe and break down the barriers to opportunity.

• 20 Feb 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  Thirdly, we must never again allow ourselves to become dependent on autocrats and their fossil fuels for our energy. Decarbonisation is now a vital national security imperative. The faster we can transition to clean power, the quicker we can undermine Putin’s war effort. Every solar panel is a shield to Putin’s aggression; every wind farm a defence against dependency. In developing our home-grown energy systems we can build the green jobs and the transformational industry of the future.

  In an age of authoritarians, poverty and climate change, we need to modernise international development.

• 16 Nov 2022: Parliamentary Speech

  That incentivises us to work at renewable energy generation and storage here in the UK, and to work with our international friends and partners to wean the world off hydrocarbons, which is exactly what my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and I did when we went to Sharm El Sheikh for COP27. It is one of the points that he is discussing with the membership of the G20 in Indonesia at the moment. We have been at the forefront of many of the green energy generation technologies. We are absolutely committed to making sure that we help the Ukrainians to defend themselves in the here and now, and that we all defend each other through a greener and more sustainable energy mix in future.

• 6 Sep 2022: Parliamentary Speech

  As has been said, the appalling floods in Pakistan, which have affected more than 30 million people, show that the climate crisis is not a future problem—it is here and it is now. Despite the Minister’s bluster a moment ago, it is incredibly concerning that the new Conservative Prime Minister has said that she will impose a temporary moratorium on the green levies that we need to reach net zero. Will the Minister commit to doubling our commitments to net zero, so that the UK can lead from the front to build a green and secure future?

  Of course this is a hugely welcome announcement and one of the more significant moments in the history of the NATO alliance, not least because Sweden and Finland bring a huge military contribution to the alliance, so this cannot in any way be seen as a one-way street. Does my hon. Friend agree that, as important as it is to talk about hardware—Finland and Sweden are able to supply several icebreakers, with climate change and the high north’s opening up—cyber-defence is one of the biggest issues? It is very difficult to identify where cyber-attacks come from. It would probably be quite easy to make one appear to come from this place, and who would we retaliate against? Does she agree that the offer that Finland and Sweden can make to the NATO alliance is vital, but also that the position and power we have in this country to help to stop cyber-attacks and defend those nations is equally important in this long-lasting, world-beating defence alliance?

• 15 Mar 2022: Parliamentary Speech

  While we push for an end to Putin’s monstrous aggression, as well as for peace, democracy and freedom for Ukraine, we must remain open to the Russian people. They did not choose this war, so we must expose Putin’s fabrications, distinguish between the Russian regime and Russia, and bolster the work of the BBC World Service and others to communicate with authoritarian states, as has been said. We must revise our defence plans for this new era, scrap the planned cuts to the Army and protect our energy security with a green energy sprint, to move decisively away from fossil fuels and on to clean, cheap, home-grown renewables instead. That will end dependency on Russia, accelerate our path towards net zero and cut off finance for Putin’s war machine.

High-technology physics-based industries will help to ensure that the UK is able to compete successfully in the modern global economy, and we will also look to physics research to help overcome the major challenges that still exist in the century before us. Much that has been said about green technology is underpinned by the importance of physics. There are other challenges as well in respect of the underpinning and our better understanding of the mechanics of climate change and greenhouse gases, all of which require the expertise of good physicists.
