  • 06 Jun 2024 Ed Miliband came to #Cornwall yesterday as the likely next Secretary for Energy Security and Net Zero to see the potential of our renewables in #Cornwall.

  • 08 Mar 2024 I wrote a column on Monday - I thought the Tories would nick Labour policies & use them for a pre-election tax cut rather than to reduce NHS waiting lists, increase dental appointments, fund green energy and breakfasts in primary schools, as we planned. And they did. https://twitter.com/JayneKirkham4/status/1766236376557625372/photo/1 [Source]
  • 06 Mar 2024 Rather than a panicky pre-election tax cut, a @UKLabour govt would have used the proceeds of closing the non-dom tax loophole to cut NHS waiting lists and increase NHS dental appointments, invest in homegrown renewable energy and give breakfasts to primary school children…/2 [Source]
  • 10 Feb 2024 @JustTransitionW @CoopParty @UKLabour No climate pledges ditched. 2030 clean power, wealth fund, GB energy all still remain and others. Which ons are you saying are ditched? It’s only the figure not the pledges or the investment [Source]

  • 20 Sep 2023 Boilers. New houses would have been net zero in 2016 had there been a Labour government. Cameron cancelled it. Now Sunak has cancelled it again. Why? It would have been cheaper & warmer for people moving into new houses if they were properly insulated & heated with renewables. [Source]
  • 05 Jul 2023 A huge concern. #Railways are so important for our future & the fight against the climate emergency. We should be building them up not breaking them down. https://twitter.com/LouHaigh/status/1676249734552363011 [Source]
  • 02 Jul 2023 ….The last @UKLabour government brought in the #Climate Change Act in 2008 and the next Labour government has bold plans on renewable energy, insulation and carbon-free electricity. We need a step change, no longer fiddling around the edges. /4 [Source]

  • 11 Apr 2023 As Chair of a Local Government Pensions Committee with strict warming targets, this is a real concern. How do we know which companies are best to invest in, if we don't have the transparency to see who's heading for their climate targets and who's way off? https://www.ft.com/content/5bc9bdf5-1e13-4a53-ab90-e71d9fb6c759?segmentId=bf7fa2fd-67ee-cdfa-8261-b2a3edbdf916 [Source]

The business stuff all set out in cbi speeches earlier this week. It’s all there. I can send you some dense policy documents to see the how? [Source]
  • 22 Nov 2022 Labour have a growth plan. It tackles the climate emergency & takes the opportunities that arise from it. It includes a longterm plan for energy, cutting fuel bills & making us energy secure & independent. It has an industrial strategy incl a skills plan.

  • 23 Oct 2022 The Tories only plan for growth was to cut taxes on the rich. Now that’s imploded, they have nothing to offer but cuts to public services & tax rises. Labour has a serious plan for growth that will combine with tackling the climate crisis to provide a longterm, greener future. https://twitter.com/UKLabour/status/1583775925145042945 [Source]

We’ve always had to & that’s how I got the climate emergency amendment through. [Source]
  • 26 Oct 2021 @russmakes There are other things to invest in than U.K. privatised utilities. Our LG Pension Fund has just committed nearly £100 million to invest in renewable energy & affordable housing in Cornwall. ???? [Source]
  • 26 Oct 2021 This is actually very exciting & will deliver £90 million of investment into affordable housing and renewable energy in Cornwall. https://cornishstuff.com/ [Source]
  • 18 Oct 2021 @shortthought So how far can you get towards net zero & what are the ‘incentives’? [Source]
  • 18 Oct 2021 @shortthought Don’t understand why councils wouldn’t have net zero conditions on developers if they could. [Source]
  • 18 Oct 2021 @shortthought You’re probably right. So if we were to put a net zero obligation on housing developers in our dpd & developers appealed us on it, would they win? [Source]
  • 18 Oct 2021 @shortthought There’s a viability defence. The government pulled the commitment. Our council’s climate change DPD is woefully timid on net zero housing. Councils can’t do it if they get appealed on it and national planning doesn’t support it. We can’t do it with a govt that is hostile to it [Source]
  • 18 Oct 2021 The government are not going to ban gas boilers after all? *Really*?! & not enough to install heat pumps. There really isn’t a commitment by this govt to decarbonise, is there? We were sold a pup. #newsnight Remember, with Labour, all new homes would have been zero carbon by 2016 [Source]
  • 15 Aug 2021 @CornishNews Lobby the council?! I am. This is something the state should be investing in, whether locally or nationally. It’s our green energy future in Cornwall and, if we are able to store it /ever upgrade the grid, it could be exported up the line! [Source]
  • 11 Aug 2021 @cookoomashu @mark_elton @russmakes @CornwallCouncil The climate change dpd is coming in. But I think it’s too timid on this. The ‘viability’ defence is always dragged out. [Source]

  • 15 Apr 2021 @RundleWayne Housing - retrofit what we’ve got and build new zero carbon ; transport - more, greener public transport- make walking/cycling the obvious option for journeys under 3 miles; get cornwall using 100% green energy & investing in it; sponsor electric bikes, put in car charging points [Source]
  • 11 Mar 2021 This could have real benefits for Cornwall if we are able to invest in our infrastructure (maybe even the means of production of green energy). I hope the Pensions Cttee in the next administration will be similarly ambitious and forward-looking, as this is merely the start.5/6 [Source]

  • 17 Jan 2021 Cornwall's Climate Change agenda leads other parts of the country after a Labour amendment declaring a Climate Emergency and a 2030 target for carbon neutrality. Our Green Economy should be leading the way too. Cornwall needs investment leading to well-paid, fulltime jobs....5/6 [Source]
  • 17 Jan 2021 The G7 this year will be all about the post-Covid recovery and climate change. Therefore, Cornwall is the perfect place to host. Not so much because of its stunning beauty, but because of its post-industrial history, environmental opportunities and climate change agenda. 1/4 [Source]
  • 12 Jan 2021 @heatpolicyrich @Kate_de @CornwallCouncil @bernarddeacon Not in CC’s own house building under the HRA and HDP but we have no powers to stop private developers doing it until gas boilers prevented in 2025. I have been arguing 4 zero carbon & new climate change dpd does go some way towards it. Frustrating as they’ll all need retrofitting [Source]

  • 08 Jul 2020 But where are the bold green energy schemes like in Germany? Hydrogen? Our geo-thermal, wind, tidal and solar resources are sat here in Cornwall, waiting for investment to kickstart our green industry potential. Creating new jobs as an alternative to the tourism sector. 4/4 [Source]
  • 31 May 2020 @GrahamSmithCR Also, we need a green energy plan for cornwall to ensure Cornwall’s people benefit from our amazing natural resources like geothermal, tidal, wind & solar. [Source]
