• 29 Jul 2024 ????Delighted that the first bill introduced under this government will bring our railways back into public ownership. Our railways should serve passengers, not profit, and help build the infrastructure needed to green our society and reach net-zero. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1817943818072727697/photo/1 [Source]
• 24 Jul 2024 I was delighted to join @ActionAidUK's event in Parliament yesterday. Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis but are excluded from environmental leadership. Gender equality and climate action are inseparable - we must tackle both together. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1816133861371195499/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 I was pleased to speak in the King’s Speech debate yesterday. Greening our transport & energy infrastructure are key to meeting our climate goals, but we must also protect vital ecosystems, restore habitats, & safeguard species to effectively combat the climate crisis. ???????? https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1813962922454048945/video/1 [Source]
• 24 Jun 2024 "If you want the NHS to be fixed, the cost of living crisis to be tackled. If you want a champion who will make sure we tackle the climate emergency - vote for Olivia, vote for Labour." Thank you to @SadiqKhan for endorsing our campaign in Sheffield Hallam! ???????? https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1805235704928072158/video/1 [Source]

• 21 May 2024 I was delighted to chair @FestofDebate's panel on the Green New Deal and cost of living crisis. There is no question that the climate emergency & cost-of-living crisis go hand in hand. It’s time for government to deliver a just transition for a cheaper, cleaner energy future.???? https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1792839882450071564/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 May 2024 ????Happy #WorldBeeDay ???? Bees are vital in helping to improve biodiversity and mitigate climate change. But worryingly, they are declining in abundance & diversity. We need a Climate and Nature Bill to protect our buzzing friends! #SaveTheBees [Source]
• 16 May 2024 Delighted to be on the @TheENDSReport Power List 2024???????? I'm proud to be a political changemaker and will continue to champion a just transition, climate action and nature restoration. https://twitter.com/TheENDSReport/status/1790347427800608918 [Source]

• 13 May 2024 ????ICYMI I was pleased to speak at @FestofDebate on Clean Air Zones last month. We all have the right to clean air and health. Climate change is not an issue for the future - we already face its effects in the here and now. You can watch the full event here ???? https://twitter.com/granthamcsf/status/1788948861643313293 [Source]
• 25 Apr 2024 From climate change to deep sea mining, overfishing and pollution, our oceans are under threat like never before. The UK must urgently ratify the Global Ocean Treaty if we are to stay on track with the global goal of protecting at least 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. https://twitter.com/GreenpeaceUK/status/1783419258002702395 [Source]
• 22 Apr 2024 We can’t solve the climate crisis without saving our key ecosystems, restoring habitats, and protecting our much beloved species. This #EarthDay I'm proud to back @zerohour_uk’s #CANBill and help put nature on the road to recovery.???????? https://twitter.com/zerohour_uk/status/1782317702318583979 [Source]
• 09 Apr 2024 I had a great time talking to Jane and Edan from @theELN about why climate change is such an important issue to the people I talk to in Sheffield Hallam, and the creation of the Hallam Citizens' Climate Manifesto. Listen to the full episode here ???? https://www.europeanleadershipnetwork.org/commentary/ok-doomer-the-never-podcast-climate-change-a-hot-topic/ [Source]
• 22 Mar 2024 Today is World Water Day. The climate crisis is creating a water crisis, so it was great to speak to @WaterAidUK this week about prioritising water in climate adaptation. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1771223787255574537/photo/1 [Source]

• 23 Feb 2024 We must now move forward, push for more action to tackle the climate crisis, and make the UK a true climate leader again. You can see more of my campaigning on this issue here ???? https://www.oliviablake.org.uk/2023/06/29/the-energy-charter-treaty/ [Source]
• 23 Feb 2024 The ECT posed an immense risk to Climate Change Act targets by allowing fossil fuel companies to sue governments for profits lost due to climate action. Last year I spoke in the chamber calling on the Government to leave the treaty - https://twitter.com/_oliviablake/status/1630590484904067073 [Source]
• 20 Feb 2024 The Government are pushing ahead with the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill despite warnings that it will do nothing to fulfil our climate targets. Rather than drilling for more fuel to pour on the climate emergency, we need the real security of a sprint to renewables. [Source]
• 12 Feb 2024 RT @ClimateAPPG: Government delays ‘essential’ energy summit despite 1.5°C warning @theipaper "By doubling down on new oil and gas, delay… [Source]
• 06 Feb 2024 Last month I led on a Westminster Hall Debate on Heather Burning on Peatlands. Rather than destroy and degrade our peatlands, their restoration is key to mitigating against the effects of the climate emergency. It’s time for an outright ban ???? https://parliamentnews.co.uk/heather-burning-is-bad-for-the-environment-bad-for-the-climate-crisis-and-bad-for-the-health-of-people-its-time-for-an-outright-ban [Source]
• 29 Jan 2024 Drilling for more fossil fuels won’t help us - ❌ Cut carbon ❌ Restore nature ❌ Reduce energy bills ❌ Or guarantee jobs It’s time the government ditched the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill & started planning a just transition to renewables instead???? https://leftfootforward.org/2024/01/olivia-blake-mp-rather-than-drilling-for-more-fuel-to-pour-on-the-climate-emergency-its-time-for-the-real-security-of-a-sprint-to-renewables/ [Source]
• 23 Jan 2024 Burning also exacerbates the climate and nature crises, and our lack of healthy bogs is making down-valley flooding more frequent and worse. We need to protect natural flood defences like our peatlands to mitigate the worst effects of the climate emergency. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1749867556406505615/video/1 [Source]
• 08 Jan 2024 RT @ClimateAPPG: ????NEW: Over the weekend, @ClimateAPPG MPs and Peers wrote to @ClaireCoutinho to call on the government to withdraw the Offs… [Source]
• 06 Dec 2023 2/2 Ahead of COP26 people in Sheffield Hallam drew up a plan for #climateaction - so in the absence of a government willing to act, we could build our vision of a green recovery. Two years later, these policies & principles have never been more urgent???????? https://www.oliviablake.org.uk/2021/10/19/our-hallam-citizens-climate-manifesto/ [Source]
• 06 Dec 2023 The President of #Cop28 thinks there is "no science" behind fossil fuel phase out. And our PM thinks the climate emergency is only worth a day of his time. If the last week has told us anything, it's that the transition must be led by those on the frontlines of this crisis 1/2 [Source]
• 30 Nov 2023 RT @StopCambo: World leaders are gathering at #COP28, but true climate justice will only be delivered by people power. ????Join the Global Da… [Source]
• 09 Nov 2023 COP28 is just weeks away and the Government still hasn't appointed a climate envoy. Instead, they've announced plans for even more fossil fuel licenses. Ahead of the conference, I joined over 50 cross-party MPs to write to the PM with 5 key recommendations for climate action. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1722614775279210588/photo/1 [Source]
• 07 Nov 2023 The #KingsSpeech should’ve tackled the climate/nature crises. Instead the government announced annual bids on oil & gas exploration. That won’t lower bills or provide energy security ????????️ It’s past time for a real net-zero plan, #GreenNewDeal, & just transition to renewables ???? [Source]
• 06 Nov 2023 Charles III opens Parliament for the first time tomorrow. This is the #KingsSpeech we need to hear. The #CEBill is our last, best chance for legislation to restore nature and deliver a just transition that leaves no one behind. Back @cebill_now https://www.zerohour.uk/back-the-bill/ https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1721460096377467378/video/1 [Source]
• 09 Oct 2023 Moorland burning is a dangerous, destructive practice. Every year, 260,000 tonnes of CO2 are released from burning on peat in England. It also has incredibly worrying public health impacts. We urgently need to see a ban, our lungs protected and our peatlands restored. https://twitter.com/GDRNorminton/status/1711317127800447382 [Source]
• 06 Oct 2023 ???? Labour Conference #LPC23 delegates! ???? ???? For the climate and ecological emergency to be debated in Liverpool, it has to be voted through the priorities ballot. ????️ Make sure you vote for 'Climate change & ecology' in the priorities ballot. https://www.zerohour.uk/vote_climate_ecology/ [Source]
• 05 Oct 2023 Looking forward to chairing this event with @cebill_now at Labour Party Conference!⚡️ We’re in a climate and ecological emergency. Only the #CEBill can help deliver a just transition to a zero carbon, nature positive future for workers, communities, climate and nature. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1709880353157009573/photo/1 [Source]

• 21 Sep 2023 With the Prime Minister watering down the Government's (already inadequate) net zero plans, the need for the #CEBill has never been more urgent. The CE Bill must be included in the next King's Speech if No. 10 are serious about securing a liveable future https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/climate-ecology-bill-best-chance-tackling-climate-crisis [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 RT @Ed_Miliband: Rishi Sunak's panicked net zero speech is crumbling in the face of opposition from industry, the public, and his own MPs.… [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 They want us to think it's a choice between taking climate action or saving people money. They're wrong. A just transition means polluters pay - not the people. Instead of scrapping climate policy we must tax the profits of energy giants to fund a transformative Green New Deal. https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1704492610172166188/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 Sep 2023 RT @ClimateAPPG: The UK is at serious risk of falling behind in the international race for good green jobs. Shouldn't the govt be doing mo… [Source]
• 05 Sep 2023 During the Committee Stage, I tabled my own amendment calling for the UK to leave the climate-wrecking Energy Charter Treaty. To still be committed to a Treaty which undermines our own Climate Change Act targets is absurd. You can read more here: https://www.oliviablake.org.uk/2023/06/29/the-energy-charter-treaty/ [Source]
• 05 Sep 2023 We are in a climate emergency. We are also facing the worst cost of living crisis in decades. The #EnergyBill was our opportunity to tackle these issues head on - providing affordable energy to all, whilst speeding up our transition. Yet again the Tories failed on all fronts???? https://twitter.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1699146429095371108/video/1 [Source]

• 27 Jul 2023 ???? "No more hesitancy, no more excuses, no more waiting for others to move first. There is simply no more time for that." We need to rapidly transition from fossil fuels and usher in a renewable energy revolution. We need a green new deal now! https://twitter.com/Channel4News/status/1684587047313440768 [Source]

• 28 Jun 2023 Today, hundreds of steelworkers marched on Parliament ✊ Domestic steel is vital to reaching net zero, but all we have seen from this Government is a lack of ambition, vision, and political will. We need a Government that recognises #WeNeedOurSteel https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1674111059563511812/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Jun 2023 The day after the 4th anniversary of the UK setting netzero in law, & on the morning of the damning CCC report, the Government is still refusing to rule out opening a new oil field. Rosebank won't reduce bills or ensure energy security. It will only speed up climate catastrophe https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1674064443385466880/video/1 [Source]

• 05 Jun 2023 Nature is our best ally in the fight against climate change. And the Climate & Ecology bill is the critical framework we need to halt & reverse nature’s decline before it’s too late.

• 01 Mar 2023 The climate crisis is a global crisis, but its effects will be felt locally. The APPG on a #GreenNewDeal are right, we need a more equitable distribution of decision-making and resources, to empower local authorities to tackle the climate crisis. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/feb/27/local-solutions-uk-net-zero-targets-mps-peers-urge [Source]
• 28 Feb 2023 Any treaty that allows companies to sue governments tackling the climate crisis is unreformable. The Minister said himself, they've tried to reform the European Charter Treaty & failed. It's time we join EU countries in a coordinated withdrawal from this destructive treaty. https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1630590484904067073/video/1 [Source]

• 01 Dec 2022 I particularly enjoyed hearing from diaspora organisations working with people at the frontline of climate change. Millions of people are already affected, and we can and must learn so much from their knowledge and skills to avoid further destruction of our planet. [Source]
• 18 Nov 2022 As #COP27 draws to a close, I have written this piece for @nowthenmag on our #HallamClimateManifesto and the importance of devolving power & deepening democracy.

• 10 Nov 2022 5/6 More empty promises won’t do. Climate finance, to help countries in the global south reduce emissions & prepare for catastrophic climate change, has already fallen billions short. The UK won't even reveal latest figures. Leaders including @RishiSunak must be held accountable. [Source]
• 10 Nov 2022 3/6 Commitments made last year at #COP26 to "phase down" coal need to be strengthened. Coal must be phased OUT, and this has to start at home. The UK Government must once and for all scrap plans for a new coal mine in Cumbria. [Source]
• 10 Nov 2022 Right now world leaders are in Egypt at #COP27 If we are to prevent global climate disaster, deliver climate justice and put us back on a credible path to #netzero, this summit must be a turning point.

• 02 Nov 2022 A week before COP27 & the Govt has again delayed the decision on the Cumbria coal mine. The mine won’t create secure jobs, help our steel industry or fix the energy crisis. But it will lock us into another decade of coal. I've written to Gove urging him to rule out the new mine https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1587808940246564866/photo/1 [Source]

• 04 Mar 2022 The influence of the so called "Net Zero Scrutiny Group" on the Prime Minister is disturbing and dangerous. It is no wonder the Government is dragging its heels on climate action. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60572049 [Source]
• 03 Mar 2022 The Govt has no clear plan to deliver #netzero- let alone in a way that is fair, efficient or will tackle the scale of the crisis We need a comprehensive plan for a #JustTransition, to bring down bills, create jobs & improve lives We need a #GreenNewDeal https://www.energylivenews.com/2022/03/03/mps-criticise-government-over-no-clear-plan-for-net-zero-funding/ [Source]
• 01 Mar 2022 Last night I spoke out against the Govt's authoritarian anti-protest Bill. As we confront the #ClimateEmergency, the Govt's priority should be addressing the crisis, not criminalising those sounding the alarm We must protect our democracy & planet - and oppose the #PolicingBill https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1498646390976749570/video/1 [Source]
• 21 Feb 2022 Today is 100 days since the end of #COP26 We knew then that the #GlasgowClimatePact was not enough to keep us below 1.5C. And in the 100 days since, the Govt has done nothing to increase ambition or drive action - choosing instead to continue to stall a #JustTransition at home [Source]

• 26 Jan 2022 Lives are being destroyed across the world because of the #ClimateEmergency. In the UK families are being left freezing & hungry because of the #CostOfLivingCrisis. The PM should for once do the right thing & resign- so we can get on with tackling the urgent crises we face #PMQs [Source]
• 19 Jan 2022 Very worrying that the Government have seemingly published their #netzero strategy without any understanding of how far individual polices will help reduce emissions or meet vital targets. We are in a #ClimateEmergency. We don't have time for more empty promises & Tory greenwash https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1483778533516324873/video/1 [Source]

It’s therefore disappointing that the CAC have blocked this vital motion because it talks about more than one subject.
