• 12 Feb 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  The subject of the debate is vital to my constituents. Fuel poverty has left thousands of people in Eastleigh and across the country in a terrible situation this winter. The Liberal Democrats are gravely concerned that Government delays in tackling poorly insulated homes have left thousands of people cold and living in fuel poverty. The UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe and it is among the least energy-efficient. The previous Government failed to commit to a meaningful renewable energy programme or a decent homes standard to bring down energy bills, reduce emissions and improve public health. As a result, an estimated 6 million households are in fuel poverty.

  According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero sub-regional fuel poverty data, 7.2% of households in my constituency, amounting to nearly 3,000 families, live in fuel poverty. Many pensioners are just over the income threshold for receiving pension credit, but still struggle immensely. Constituents tell me that they have resorted to using only a microwave to cook meals, because it is cheaper than an oven, while people living in park homes have told me that they have had to turn off their electric heating entirely, even though their walls are just two inches thick and not properly insulated.

  @kateferguson4 Social media can fuel anxiety but the reasons for Mental Health issues are incredibly complex. Young people have so much to worry about - the cost of living, housing, crime, the climate crisis, global conflict - it’s hardly surprising so many are experiencing stress. [Source]

• 5 Sep 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my maiden speech during the debate on this important Bill. I welcome efforts to provide renewable energy, bring down heating bills and support the growth of our green manufacturing industry. I hope the Bill will make clear provisions for GB Energy to engage with local communities such as mine in Eastleigh. I would also like to congratulate the hon. Member for North East Hertfordshire (Chris Hinchliff) on his excellent speech.

  @RSylvesterTimes @DeborahMeaden Indeed. The PM’s net zero retreat came up on the doorsteps this morning. People are rightly furious about it. [Source]

• 01 Oct 2023: Tweet

  .@bbclaurak points out @RishiSunak was at the Cabinet table as Chancellor when decisions about net zero targets were being made. He is reneging on net zero targets in an attempt to stop the Conservative party from being wiped out at the next GE. Excruciating. #bbclaurak [Source]

  @AdamBienkov Calling people who want to see positive action on the climate emergency “tree-huggers” - in 2023! - really shows a total lack of vision. Worrying. [Source]

  @GaryLineker Shows how seriously the new PM takes the climate emergency. Deeply concerning. [Source]

  @AdamBienkov Does she understand that there is a climate emergency? Does she understand farming? I suspect the answer is no on both counts. [Source]

  Sincerely hope any Conservative MP who has suggested delaying the 2050 net zero target is watching the footage of the homes destroyed by wildfires yesterday. This must be a wake up call for the Government. [Source]

  @RidgeOnSunday @DominicRaab Downplaying the seriousness of an unprecedented heatwave helps no one. Ignoring the seriousness of the climate emergency fails us all. [Source]

  @lucysiegle And a basic commitment to tackling the climate emergency would be good! [Source]

  Absolutely devastating UN climate report. We are running out of time. And all we have seen from this Government is a total lack of ambition for tackling the climate emergency. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/ippc-report-2021-climate-latest-reactions-b1899279.html%3famp [Source]

  Terrible news from the High St this morning. Thousands of jobs going at Boots and John Lewis. It’s clear the Government needs a more radical approach, a long term economic strategy for dealing with unemployment, climate change and inequality. [Source]

  Fully support this. There needs to be a proper bailout for the #travel industry but it’s completely right that airlines should be made to cut CO2 emissions in return. https://inews.co.uk/news/coronavirus-latest-airlines-cut-co2-emissions-bailout-mps-chancellor-2550284 [Source]

  Proud to say 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]

  “The most terrifying thing is a no deal Brexit, and us just walking away from the strength of being in Europe. It’s good for our economy, it’s good for our fight on climate change and it’s also good for peace and security.” @SalBrinton smashes it on @SkyNews [Source]

  I have travelled to so many beautiful places but Alaska is something else. Lots of talk about the effects of climate change on this extraordinary landscape and its wildlife however. https://twitter.com/LizJarvisUK/status/997180176546107393/video/1 [Source]
