• 11 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  I thank the Secretary of State for his remarks, and I particularly welcome his warm words on cleaning up our rivers, growing the rural economy and investing in flood defences. My constituents in Bolton West are extremely proud of our rivers, streams, waterways and lakes. They bring life to our countryside, and play a crucial role in preserving our biodiversity and fighting climate change—a danger all too real, given the increase in flooding and wildfires on the moors in my constituency. With that in mind, I wish to focus on access to our waterways and our countryside.

  Full debate: Rural Affairs

  Good to talk with representatives from @NFUPolitical earlier this week. We spoke about the important role British farming plays in ensuring food security, the threats arising from climate change & the opportunities ahead to grow affordable and sustainable produce for everyone. https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1814345849712865784/photo/1 [Source]

  We need to support British steel - it's a foundational industry which creates thousands of high-quality jobs and protects our national security. The government needs to get round the table with Tata and the trade unions to secure a just transition & save jobs. #SaveOurSteel https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1749884515760165285/photo/1 [Source]

  Sunak is playing politics instead of prioritising the long-term national interest. If he was serious about reaching our legally binding net zero commitments, he’d be announcing govt support for households & businesses. An abdication of responsibility. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/ [Source]

  Lots of good chats with Horwich residents this evening???? Talking about local & national priorities - valuing our unpaid carers, doctors’ wages, tackling anti-social behaviour & renewable energy⚡️ Many people keen to chat about how we make Horwich an even better place to live ???? https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1694094677564104874/photo/1 [Source]

  I grew up enjoying the West Pennine Moors. That’s why I’ll always campaign to protect our natural environment from the harm caused by unprecedented climate change. Together, let’s win Bolton West and Atherton for Labour. Join me ???? https://www.philbrickell.uk/ https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1671400770544041984/photo/1 [Source]

  We all want to play our role in tackling climate change So it's sad to see train platforms which still aren't accessible to everyone due to steps or steep inclines As your Labour candidate in Bolton West & Atherton I'll campaign for truly accessible public transport for all. https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1664312715685380112/photo/1 [Source]

  We live in an increasingly fragile world. One threatened by climate change, Russia’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine, the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan and persecution of ethnic & religious minorities, political dissidents and LGBT communities. [Source]

  Voting to breach international law would make Britain a pariah state on the world stage. And it’d undermine future efforts to work with other nations to tackle the related issues of modern slavery, people trafficking, climate change and organised crime. [Source]

  Chris Green’s happy to take £84k of taxpayer’s money but has nothing to say on our behalf - he’s spoken only 11 times in Parliament. Getting a GP appointment ❌ Rising mortgages & rents ❌ Climate change ❌ Local people deserve better https://members.parliament.uk/member/4398/contributions https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1584101472517885962/photo/1 [Source]

  Fantastic #MountRecyclemore sculpture in Stockport town centre raising awareness around e-waste & the climate emergency. Excellent idea @StockportMBC https://twitter.com/Phil_Brickell/status/1429723293444149250/photo/1 [Source]

  As host of the #G7 the UK should be leading global efforts to fight Covid, inequality and climate change. At a time of worldwide suffering, the last thing the govt should be doing is cutting aid @RishiSunak #KeepOurPromise [Source]

  @McrMomentum You must have forgotten that the green policies in the 2019 manifesto allowed for a just transition to de-carbonise the economy which also protected employees, their livelihoods & the wider economy as opposed to letting jobs & vital national infrastructure wither on the vine.

  Many thanks to @AngelikiStg for superb session in Baguley discussing the climate emergency, green policies, transport, emissions and driving greater awareness of related issues. https://twitter.com/WSELabourParty/status/1238183878470270978 [Source]

  @paultheblue1894 @CllrETaylor @BBCNewsnight Well said @CllrETaylor It’s not primarily about commuting times. That’s an added bonus. It’s about creating additional capacity when the West Coast Mainline is full to the brim, we’re facing a climate emergency & a growing population. HS2’s detractors have no alternative proposal [Source]

  Hi @RichardBurgon We lost the 2017 election too & were more than 60 seats away from forming a majority of 1 then. Also, rubbishing our reputation in government when we invested record sums into NHS, introduced Sure Start, passed Climate Change Act & secured peace in NI unhelpful. https://twitter.com/RichardBurgon/status/1205501506692304896 [Source]

  ...and learning from electoral defeats. For the time is now to renew Labour in a new mould, redolent of the complex 21st century society we live in. A vision that addresses the new challenges of workplace automisation & casualisation and the pressing urgency of climate change... [Source]

  Rightly recognised by audience member that co-operation required by all parties in a non-partisan basis in order to address the most pressing issues facing us all, including tackling climate change and the longstanding issues facing social care #LeadershipDebate #GE19 [Source]

• 10 Sep 2019: Tweet

  Great news that @WSELabourParty has passed a conference motion supporting a Green New Deal. At a time of increasing damage to our environment, as a party we must show leadership in de-carbonising our economy & encouraging all others to do so. [Source]

• 28 Jul 2019: Tweet

  It’s also the latest example of why we must show leadership in tackling climate change, moving to a net zero carbon economy sooner than 2050 and encouraging our allies & partners around the world to do so. [Source]

  Once the water reaches inner city Manchester it has nowhere to go, hence the problem. There’s no natural drain off, no flood plain, no obstacles to slow the flow. As climate change leads to increasingly volatile weather, this must be tackled as soon as possible @DefraGovUK [Source]

  Instead of focusing on the impact of Brexit on people’s lives, jobs, future trading relationships, employment rights, the environment, tackling organised crime, climate change, nuclear safety, financial services regulation, consumer protection we’re talking about blue passports [Source]
