  Just the right tone from @Keir_Starmer in his speech and q&a to @CBItweets; pro business, pro worker, a new partnership and an overdue acknowledgment of the role, dignity and prospects that good businesses provide. Net Zero, Skills, innovation and youth employment. [Source]

  I've taken @friends_earth's #ClimateActionPledge. If elected I'll put the climate first when I vote in parliament. We're in a #ClimateEmergency and must rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions for a greener and fairer society. #ClimateElection https://twitter.com/friends_earth/status/1197909254277095426/photo/1 [Source]

  I hope this goes well. My friend & colleague @Lucy4BurySouth is speaking for the Lab party at this. I’m proud of our party’s record on this. We’re the only major party that identifies our climate crisis as a climate emergency and we’re committed to carbon neutrality in the 2030’s https://twitter.com/its_greenemma/status/1201222930220437505 [Source]

• 31 Oct 2018: Parliamentary Speech

  I draw hon. Members’ attention to my declaration in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. The Government’s party conference this summer boasted of opportunity, but this week’s Budget smacks of a wasted opportunity. It is a wasted opportunity to present an economy that embraces the challenges and sees them as opportunities for all, and it fails to address the urgent threat of climate change or the chance to reskill for automation. It is a vision lacking in imagination on how to renew our towns beyond rate reductions. There is a much-needed and overdue injection of cash for our NHS, but the King’s Fund and the Health Foundation say that it is still not enough. The party that says “F— business” on Brexit still gives us FA for FE, with colleges not even mentioned. There is no intervention to move from low-skilled to high-skilled work and no plan for the rise of the robots and the promise of AI and automation. Wages and growth are not moving and public services continue to be ignored. Austerity continues—it does not end—and the Government have no vision for what is next.

  Just three weeks after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s landmark report highlighting the grave threat of climate change, there was not a single reference to climate change in the Chancellor’s speech. There is nothing on investing in new national industries or renewable energy and the creation of new jobs, and there is nothing to tackle air pollution and the chaos facing commuters in Bury or on plans to switch polluting buses to new, clean-energy vehicles.

  @Ian_McKinley Like many, I'm suspicious of it being the 'answer' its' supporters maintain it to be. We must find sustainable energy supply. [Source]
