• 12 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  As the first step towards the warm homes plan, we have committed an initial £3.4 billion. That includes £1 billion towards public sector decarbonisation, because we know that we have to ensure that our schools and hospitals reduce their energy bills.

  Full debate: Oral Answers to Questions

  I completely agree; decarbonising our public sector will not only reduce emissions but lower bills. We estimate that the £1 billion that we have allocated to public sector decarbonisation will reduce bills by about £40 million per year. That is a big step forward, but there is more work to do.

  Out and about in Warrington yesterday, visiting staff at @EnergyOmbudsman to see how they’re delivering positive outcomes for customers. Also stopped by Energy House at @SalfordUni to see some exciting research underway to help make homes fit for a net zero future ???? [Source]

• 8 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Whether it is our ending of the onshore wind ban, the CCUS funding we announced last week, our plans for Great British Energy or our warm homes plan, we are hitting the ground running to deliver our clean power mission. The Conservatives spent 14 years dithering and delaying, leaving ordinary people to pay the price, but we will get on with the job of delivering energy security so that we can secure financial security for families, good jobs and climate action.

  With less than a decade to take drastic action to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, this summit must count. @RishiSunak must show climate leadership on the world stage rather pander to the climate sceptics in his party. Time for him to get a grip and step up 4/4 [Source]

  Co-ordinated climate action abroad with proper investment from the worlds richest nations into a loss and damages fund to help the global south to adapt and mange the impacts of climate change 3/4 [Source]

• 01 Dec 2023: Tweet

  That means an ambitious UK plan, backed up with investment, to sprint to net zero by flooding the market with clean energy we own, insulating our homes & rebuilding our public transport system -creating new jobs and improving communities in every part of the country. 2/4 [Source]

• 21 Sep 2023: Tweet

  This from @RishiSunak is beyond shambolic. Green policies are not a nice to have, they are an urgent necessity.

  A short-sighted and retrograde step if true. The floods and wildfires we’ve seen across the world this summer was a sobering reminder that climate change is here and devastating. We need to step up action not dither. Desperate stuff from ⁦@RishiSunak https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66857551 [Source]

• 22 Jul 2023: Tweet

  It beggars belief that at a time when parts of the world are burning & the full horror of climate change is clear for all to see, there are still politicians who want to have a myopic fight about cutting the ‘green crap’. Get a grip! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/21/brutal-heat-heavy-rain-week-extreme-weather 1/4 [Source]

• 28 Jun 2023: Tweet

  The @theCCCuk report on the government’s progress on climate action is damning. The slowdown in emissions reduction across the economy means that the pace of annual emission reductions needs to quadruple through the rest of the decade to catch up. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1673955213156261888 [Source]

  It should put an end to new fossil fuel projects - including stopping businesses from funding them, and co-create an international #GreenNewDeal. The climate emergency is happening now, and there is absolutely no excuse for continuing this dangerous negligence. 4/4 [Source]

• 30 Mar 2023: Tweet

  This would allow us to insulate our homes through a #GreatHomesUpgrade, flood the energy sector with renewable energy we the public own, build the next generation of green social homes and transform the public transport system over the next 8 years. 3/4 [Source]

• 30 Mar 2023: Tweet

  We cannot get to #netzero on the cheap, but delaying action bears a huge economic and human cost. The government should start by investing at least £28bn a year to help us transition. 2/4 [Source]

  The decision to go ahead with the Cumbria coalmine is a backward step that blows a hole in the government’s climate commitment. With less than a decade to take action to mitigate the worse impacts of climate change, opening mines that will need to close soon after makes no sense https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1600556209668505635 [Source]

  Today @rishisunak will tell world leaders how to create new jobs and green growth. Perhaps he should first walk the walk at home, by: - Investing in a national #retrofitting drive - Investing in #renewableenergy - Reforming our broken energy market. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1589424395835015170 [Source]

  - Getting $100bn annual funding from the richest nations to enable the global south to adapt & manage the impacts of climate change. W/ less than a decade to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, #COP27 is make or break. Let’s hope our politicians get a grip & step up. [Source]

  If we get the transition to net zero right, we can pump investment into our communities, expand public transport, build green social homes & create a clean, affordable energy system we all own - creating good jobs & reviving our economy. #GreenNewDeal [Source]

• 02 Nov 2022: Tweet

  Going to COP27 is the right call. This should never have been a question @RishiSunak. Responding to the climate emergency and looking after the UK economy aren’t separate priorities, they are fundamentally linked. https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/1587748352183222272 [Source]

• 28 Oct 2022: Tweet

  Rishi Sunak mustn’t cop out of COP. Instead of continuing to deprioritise the #climateemergency, he should be running with big ideas that tackle the #costofliving & climate crises together: retrofitting millions of homes, free basic energy & a clean system we own. #GreenNewDeal https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1585872522926608388 [Source]

• 23 Oct 2022: Tweet

  Young people in #Camberwell & #Peckham are being dealt a raw deal from shrinking job opportunities to the lack of homes they can afford to the climate crisis. I’ll always fight for better.

  Profits are being made off the back of people's misery. Govt must: 1. Fix our broken energy market: Creating a people-owned provider & flooding the market with cheaper renewable energy 2.

  Finally, we can't get to #netzero on the cheap. The govt should be investing at least £28bn a year to help us transition. And use this to upgrade our homes, flood the energy sector with renewables, and expand and transform the public transport system over the next 8 years. 3/3 [Source]

• 29 Jun 2022: Tweet

  One of the biggest holes in govt policy is on retrofitting our homes. It’s madness not to act on this now. It helps us meet our climate goals AND it would help millions of families struggling with the cost of living reduce their #energybills. We need a #GreatHomesUpgrade. 2/3 [Source]

• 29 Jun 2022: Tweet

  This is sobering reading from the @theCCCuk. The government can set targets and goals all it wants, but this isn't worth the paper it is written on without a proper plan to deliver them. Time is ticking and we need @BorisJohnson to get a grip of this. 1/3 https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1542040665881804801 [Source]

• 20 Jun 2022: Tweet

  A co-operative owned by us, that can: - take on customers of the providers going bust; - act as a challenger to drive down prices, and - invest significantly in renewable energy to lower our energy bills and emissions for the longer term. 3/3 [Source]

  Forcing ⁦@TfL⁩ to make cuts to the bus network in London makes no sense. It will just put added pressure on families struggling with the cost of living.

  Great to see @theCCCuk talking about the need to retrofit 19m UK homes. To create #greenjobs, lower bills & emissions, & make homes warmer, #retrofitting is worth the investment it requires.

  It's time for @BorisJohnson's to lead by example at #COP26. That means: 1. Getting a commitment from all countries to put in place #netzero strategies & action plans to cut emissions by at least half by 2030 so we have a shot at staying below 1.5C. 8/10 [Source]

  As a big contributor to historical and current CO2 emissions, one of the world's richest countries, host of #COP26, and having recently cut its foreign aid budget, the UK can & should be doing far more to help poor nations deal with the devastating impacts of #climatechange. https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1457566201014534146 [Source]
