• 17 Oct 2024: Tweet

  NEW: I’ve tabled a motion calling for consumer protections as UK households gear up to install more energy efficiency measures. If we want to scale up green retrofits to meet our net zero carbon goals, we can’t afford to let consumers down. See below ???? https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/62593 https://x.com/Imran_HussainMP/status/1846833367867617399/photo/1 [Source]

  5. ⁠Bake in legal protections and opportunities for redress for consumers as home retrofit schemes grow in the goal to reach Net Zero. [Source]

• 24 Apr 2024: Tweet

  Saddened to hear of the death of Frank Field. Whilst we didn't always share the same views, it's impossible not to note his relentless determination and drive to fight against poverty and climate change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68887629 [Source]

• 19 Jan 2024: Tweet

  There are ways to enable a just transition towards clean, green energy. Rejecting union plans, offering no serious alternative, and cutting thousands of job is not a just transition. #TataSteel [Source]

• 05 Jan 2024: Tweet

  The Energy Minister who signed the Net Zero pledge into law is the second Conservative figure to resign in protest of Rishi Sunak's chaotic climate decisions. Sunak hasn't just abandoned decades-long climate consensus, he's actively destroyed it. We need a General Election now! https://twitter.com/PoliticsJOE_UK/status/1743332868452204707 [Source]

• 05 Dec 2023: Tweet

  Rishi Sunak is hoping we don't draw attention to the Government's international commitment of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 68% by 2030. Even in the most optimistic scenario, the UK will miss that target. We cannot trust the Tories with our planet. [Source]

• 07 Nov 2023: Tweet

  This Tory #KingsSpeech made no attempt to meet the challenge the country is facing. Climate crisis? NHS crisis? Housing crisis? We don’t need more oil fields, vague workforce proposals and weak reforms. We need change. [Source]

• 24 Sep 2023: Tweet

• 20 Sep 2023: Tweet

  Today, Rishi Sunak hunkered down with his Cabinet to find a way to sell out the UK's #NetZero commitments. You can't trust a Tory Prime Minister with the climate. You certainly can't trust them with our future. [Source]

• 20 Sep 2023: Tweet

  Rishi Sunak, who hasn't won a single leadership election, never mind a General Election, worries about climate change policies not having the consent of the British people. Does he need reminding that #NetZero policies enjoy broad public support? [Source]

• 20 Sep 2023: Tweet

  "You don't reach net zero just by wishing it" - Rishi Sunak You don't avoid the consequences of climate change by putting your fingers in your ears, either. [Source]

• 15 Sep 2023: Tweet

  A modern, sustainable economy that's competitive in the 21st century needs a strong steel industry & the expertise of our steelworkers. So there's no excuse for not consulting them when it's their jobs at risk & when they'll know more about decarbonising steel than any Minister. https://twitter.com/jreynoldsMP/status/1702610316637475069 [Source]

• 12 Aug 2023: Tweet

  Climate breakdown is the test of our generation. But whilst big polluters face zero accountability, it is the poorest and most vulnerable people across the world bearing the consequences. We need wide, systemic change. [Source]

• 31 Jul 2023: Tweet

  Organisations in Bradford can now apply for grants of £5,000 - £50,000 for community proposals to achieve #NetZero, focusing on: ???? Energy ????️ Buildings ???? Transport ???? Nature https://twitter.com/Imran_HussainMP/status/1685953614030786560/photo/1 [Source]

• 20 Jul 2023: Tweet

  The UN has said that climate change is out of control, after the hottest seven days on record. The Tories are, to quote their own Minister for the Environment who quit a few weeks ago, 'simply uninterested'. The planet and its people deserve better. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/video/2023/jul/07/climate-crisis-is-out-of-control-says-un-after-worlds-hottest-week-video https://twitter.com/Imran_HussainMP/status/1682074865241669637/photo/1 [Source]

• 3 Jul 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  The Bill undermines the ability of public bodies and civic society to divest from those who are harming our environment and driving climate change. It provides the Government with unprecedented and deeply alarming powers of enforcement that curtail freedom of expression and democracy by gagging public bodies that have the audacity to speak and act on their conscience. It forces public bodies and civic society to kneel, against their own moral convictions, to the Secretary of State’s foreign policy.

  This rotten, unworkable and dangerous Bill is an alarming overreach of Government powers that breaks the UK’s international obligations and undermines efforts to protect our environment and fight climate change. It protects human rights abusers in countless nations and gags democratically elected local representatives. We cannot pick and choose which human rights abuses to act on and which to turn a blind eye to. Let me be clear: human rights are a universal obligation and a universal right. It is time the UK Government accepted that. I will therefore be standing up, as I always have done, for democracy, for our environment and for human rights by voting for today’s amendment that will reject the Bill.

• 28 Mar 2023: Tweet

  As set out by @Ed_Miliband, @UKLabour will take the ambitious action needed to tackle the climate crisis and unlock Britain's untapped green economic potential. It is time to back the clean industries of the future over the dirty polluters of the past. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/28/labour-urges-ministers-to-show-ambition-as-it-recasts-green-growth-plan [Source]

• 14 Jan 2023: Tweet

  For all his talk of climate leadership, Sunak consistently puts his own personal convenience before the planet. https://t.co/pp8BCj2sOB [Source]

• 06 Nov 2022: Tweet

  As #COP27 begins today, we need a Government that will put tackling the climate crisis at the forefront of everything it does. That means a Green New Deal that rewires our economy to boost renewables and create thousands of unionised green jobs. That means a Labour Government. [Source]

• 04 Nov 2022: Tweet

  Rishi Sunak's lack of leadership over COP27 has made us an international laughing stock. We should be at the forefront of tackling the climate crisis, not being having second thoughts about whether it's worth even showing up. https://x.com/Imran_HussainMP/status/1588516501375655936/photo/1 [Source]

• 28 Oct 2022: Tweet

  As the UN warns about the disastrous fallout of the climate crisis, we need a Prime Minister that puts the environment at the centre of their political agenda with a Green New Deal. Instead we've got Rishi Sunak, who refuses to attend COP27 & demotes his own climate ministers. [Source]

• 26 Oct 2022: Tweet

  Whilst the Tories bring back fracking in England, Labour in Wales is taking the lead on tackling the climate crisis. Like the Welsh Labour Government, a Labour Government in Westminster will set up a publicly-owned energy company to invest in clean renewable energy. https://x.com/Imran_HussainMP/status/1585239871114862593/photo/1 [Source]

• 19 Oct 2022: Vote

  Ban on Fracking for Shale Gas Bill - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 10 Oct 2022: Tweet

  The Tory solution to our energy crisis is to ban new investment in renewable energy. They're making us more dependent on fossil fuels and bringing back fracking. This is climate arson in the name of "growth". https://x.com/Imran_HussainMP/status/1579502051553181696/photo/1 [Source]

• 30 Sep 2022: Tweet

  The rise in extreme weather events across the globe shows the urgency in tackling the climate emergency. Labour will go big for green growth, decarbonising the energy sector by 2030 and getting this country off fossil fuels for good. The Tories will bring back fracking. [Source]

• 29 Sep 2022: Tweet

  As the Tories trash our economy, @UKLabour offer people hope by: ⚡ Creating a public energy company ???? Decarbonising the energy sector by 2030 ???? Investing in communities via a National Wealth Fund We're for a fairer, greener future, not destruction to benefit an elite few. [Source]

• 14 Aug 2022: Tweet

  We face extreme heat caused by a climate crisis and an out of control cost-of-living crisis. Liz Truss's solution is to make it easier for corporations to pollute whilst mocking support to families as "handouts". She doesn't want to fix these crises. She wants to worsen them. [Source]

• 07 Aug 2022: Tweet

  The impacts of severe weather caused by the climate crisis can be felt all around us. It's not just the boiling temperatures and freak weather, it's the desecrated areas left behind. This Summer has shown the urgent need for a Green New Deal. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/aug/04/tell-us-has-the-summer-weather-left-your-green-spaces-parched [Source]

• 01 Aug 2022: Tweet

  The impacts of the climate crisis is here for us all to see. Yet the Conservative Party still plays around with delaying the Net Zero target and abandoning the ban on fracking. We desperately need a Government that finally puts our planet before profits. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/01/uk-farmers-count-cost-as-heatwave-kills-fruit-and-vegetable-crops [Source]

• 19 Jul 2022: Tweet

  You'd think with this week's extreme weather, everyone in Britain would support strong action on the climate emergency. Think again. A new poll has found that among Tories, tackling climate change is their last priority. It's time we kicked them all out of power. [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  Conservative MPs tell us that we can't afford to take action on climate change, saying it would "bankrupt" the country. As our economy grinds to a halt during this heatwave, we see the real costly action is doing nothing. It's time for a Green New Deal. [Source]

• 13 Jul 2022: Tweet

  As the weather reaches a level of record heat, Tory leadership contenders are lining up to trash their own Net Zero target and push for less action against climate change. Their agenda isn't just wrong, it's bad for your health. [Source]

• 19 Feb 2022: Tweet

  The ONS has revealed the UK’s low-carbon and renewable energy economy has seen "no significant change" since 2014. Greenwashing and fancy rhetoric won't prevent climate catastrophe. We need a Green Industrial Revolution. [Source]

  What steps the Government are taking to promote (a) climate action and (b) a green recovery from the covid-19 pandemic ahead of COP26. ( 912530 )

  Full debate: Post Covid-19 Economic Recovery: Climate Action

  Public transport is one of the cleanest modes of transport we have, as it helps to get thousands of carbon-emitting vehicles off our roads, but our public transport infrastructure, particularly rail, is woefully outdated in the north of England and simply not fit for purpose. Will the right hon. Gentleman therefore back my calls for the northern powerhouse rail scheme to be built in full, including a Bradford city centre station, to prove that we are taking this climate emergency seriously by getting more people on to public transport and more cars off our roads in the north and by providing good, green, sustainable jobs?

  It is vital that we reach a binding agreement on tackling climate change in December, and I, too, welcome the Secretary of State’s announcement about closing coal-fired power stations by 2025, as it sets a strong example to other countries. Will she go further, though, and state what percentage cut in emissions by 2030 she is pushing for?
