  In Calder Valley this weekend we saw the very real face of climate change, nearly having serious floods. The opposition act like it's an inconvenience, not a threat to our communities. I asked @Ed_Miliband about warm homes following his statement on COP this week https://x.com/JoshFG/status/1861823889686306855/video/1 [Source]

  In Calder Valley this weekend we saw the very real face of Climate Change with near floods and extreme weather. The opposition act like it's an incontinence made up not a threat to our communities.

• 11 Sep 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  The towns of Calder Valley run along the River Calder. That river has brought beauty, and supported the textile trade that once made our community world-famous, but it also brought the floods that hit our community particularly hard in 2012, 2015 and 2020—a visible sign of the impact of climate change, which will define many of our coming years. However, the towns have been able to rebuild, relying on an incredible community spirit and a way of being with the world that Chris McCafferty, Calder Valley’s MP from 1997 to 2010, described in her maiden speech as

  From droughts in the Horn of Africa and wild fires in the US to floods in China and closer to home, the climate emergency is here and we need to act. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1744691169030705250 [Source]

  Calderdale’s climate action plan has been passed by cabinet. It’s ambitious & commits us to net 0 by 2038 with interim targets by 2030. The rain & flood alerts this week was a painful reminder we are on the front line of the climate emergency, I’m proud we’re active in response. https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1734242958323413200/photo/1 [Source]

  Scott’s support in this selection means so means so much to me. He’s an amazing councillor and well respected in his ward and further afield for his work on flooding, housing and climate change https://twitter.com/ScottAPatient/status/1726857720295272767 [Source]

  It’s hard to say more than I’ve already said about Scott, he’s a true leader on climate change https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1722190010470760920 [Source]

  Took my kids to the Hebden Bridge pumpkin festival. As my children get older they are much more interested in the messages around climate change which are the theme of the pumpkin trail. ????❤️ https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1713192831110553698/photo/1 [Source]

  He cancelled our trains, he scrapped net zero and told us about it by posing on a private jet. He holds us in contempt. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1710352494054826336 [Source]

• 13 Apr 2023: Tweet

  @aidanskinner I know. A few years ago the Lib Dem’s outflanked us on some climate emergency stuff because they wanted a fixed date for net 0 and we took the estimation that without clear government action on decommissioning drax we couldn’t with integrity claim our power would be renewable [Source]

  Labour need to talk about climate change more. We have good policies and the voters want to hear about them. https://twitter.com/SteveAkehurst/status/1603326077031571458 [Source]

  Great to hear Kate from the bookcase in Hebden Bridge talk about our towns flood defences on #R4Today. The government could do more to support businesses at risk. In this valley are at the front line in the climate emergency. We need a labour government to lead on the solution. [Source]

  It’s interesting that King Charles takes climate change so seriously he’s willing to take this unprecedented step to maintain our global leadership on it. https://twitter.com/tomwatson/status/1586743300635213829 [Source]

  Hello @CWhittaker_MP - the people of Calderdale are against fracking. The British people are against fracking. We flood because of climate change, we don’t want earthquakes because of the chase for fossil fuels too. https://twitter.com/KevinASchofield/status/1582668826549792768 [Source]

  Liz Truss’s speech: ????no mention of mortgages ????no plan for climate change ????no help for families in poverty ????no idea on social care ????silence on the pounds fall Economically illiterate happy talk to the Tory base. You don’t become a competent government by believing hard enough [Source]

  Just typical, as if COVID, Climate Change, fires, floods, the cost of living and Liz Truss aren’t enough to worry about… Zombie Pigs! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/aug/03/restoration-of-pig-organs-after-heart-stopped-raises-hopes-for-transplants?CMP=twt_gu&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium#Echobox=1659539990-1 [Source]

  “I would take advice from my two young daughters on climate change.” I think there are people who know more about climate policy than your daughters Rishi! [Source]

  The whole country are seeing what living with climate change looks like. In Calderdale we have had to be prepared for the impact of climate change because being hit with repeated. We must build climate resilience and take meaningful steps to slow its impacts #NetZero https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1549321176023015424/photo/1 [Source]

  It’s important that big organisations in all fields take a lead in fighting climate change. That’s why I’m proud to be part of this campaign of West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership #allhandsin https://twitter.com/WYpartnership/status/1524460584976138241 [Source]

• 04 May 2022: Tweet

  Tomorrow, in Calderdale, and across the UK, Labour councillors and candidates will be campaigning. We will be putting a vision across of local authorities standing up against cuts, delivering services and fighting climate change. I couldn’t be more proud to stand with them ???? [Source]

• 04 May 2022: Tweet

  @mag_worden @UKLabour Seemed unpleasant. Perhaps collectivism wasn’t for you. I hope you channel your obviously passion and activism into something worthwhile. I’ll concentrate on keeping a labour council who invested in opposing climate change and putting up care workers wages ???? [Source]

  @RogerODoherty I suspect time and modern values have have left him behind a bit. When I worked for the remain campaign he struck me as alright among the labour leave group. But I can’t see that sharing a platform with Farage to deny climate change is compatible with our movements values. [Source]

  @sioxl7 @Soph__wilson I mean labour in Calderdale have paid care staff more, stopped the closure of both our and Huddersfield A&Es and led West Yorkshire authorities in responding to the climate emergency. Being out of power in Westminster limited what we could do. [Source]

  13% of important petrol products in the UK are from Russia. Our reliance on fossil fuels is a strategic disadvantage as well as being a climate catastrophe https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1495862133736755202 [Source]

  @JustineBrian People vote to their advantage- understandably. That’s why we have greater state investment in pensions than climate change [Source]

• 29 Jan 2022: Tweet

  @JustineBrian I wonder if governments would be as shortermist if voters would see the impact of underinvestment in climate change and education [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  @JustineBrian What worries me about your framing here is that you focus on the impact of net zero as if the counter point is everything carrying on as it is. That simply isn’t the case. It’s addressing the issue or catastrophic global climate change. [Source]

  @walletzerosan But individual actions play a huge role in arresting the pandemic. Shifting the focus on climate change to individuals not systems is actively counter productive [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  This kind of journalism is so frustrating. We accept that the scale of climate change means government not individual action is key to solving climate change, so why are we clutching pearls at how leaders travel to COP. What do you want Biden and Macron to cycle to the venue? https://twitter.com/C4Ciaran/status/1455121067316555779 [Source]

  Tomorrow, after 20 days and 200 miles, Jude, who is 11, will make it to London. His message is clear, it’s time for politicians to step up on climate change. https://twitter.com/zeroc_official/status/1425138388815028228 [Source]

  @GNDRising Rather than ask him to formulate policies for government your shibboleth is that he sign up to a bill that won’t pass? This isn’t smart campaigning. It is absolutely vital we face up to climate change. He’s engaged with a ‘just transition’ which tories won’t touch. Wrong target [Source]

• 13 Aug 2021: Tweet

  @GNDRising @Keir_Starmer He literally stopped to talk to you on areas where you agreed. Are you think or just some kind of Tory satire? If you don’t want to take yes for an answer you aren’t seriously about climate change [Source]

• 06 Aug 2021: Tweet

  @cllrawilkinson @susanp_80 I think we need a just transition. On climate on nuclear. People need jobs and both those industries offer well paid skilled and sustainable jibs in remote areas. It’s not beyond our ken as a labour movement to fix this, but we must be clear what we are transitioning to. [Source]

  @gracepetrie I’m just reminded of that Ben Elton novel where the world is dying because of climate change and all the rich people decide to start a new life in space. [Source]

  A vote to cut the aid budget will lead to 100,000 children’s lives that could have been saved being lost. I’ve often talked about the domestic impact of Labour being out of power but I can’t stress enough, from aid to climate change we need Labour in power for a just world. https://twitter.com/MrTomBaker/status/1414965253461446669 [Source]

  Great to be joined by @TracyBrabin at Calderdale council cabinet tonight. She talked about her ambition for West Yorkshire, including housing, skills and climate change. Also great to hear her championing the work of the excellent @slowtheflow_UK in natural flood management. [Source]

  As a councillor I represent a Calderdale community blighted by floods made worse by climate change. Our government taking money from oil and gas companies while dragging feet on tackling climate changed isn’t just corrupt it’s ruining lives in my community https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/24/oil-gas-donors-gave-over-400k-tories-before-north-sea-decision?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other [Source]

  @DuncanBedson @GillianMcKeith I mean 90s TV C list celebrities are key to many issues... I’m actually going to go to Handy Andy from changing rooms to get his take on climate change next! [Source]
