  An election could not come soon enough. Labour is ready to fix our NHS, rebuild our communities with the housing we need and tackle the climate crisis, leading on the global stage. Out of this cost of living crisis Labour will give you the hope and security you need. #votelabour [Source]

• 29 Sep 2023: Tweet

  #Rosebank must be stopped. With massive tax breaks underpinning the oil and gas market, it is clear this Government has chosen fossil fuels, and the environmental damage that this causes, over investment in renewable energy. #StopRosebank https://twitter.com/RachaelMaskell/status/1707773439119925322/photo/1 [Source]

• 21 Sep 2023: Tweet

  Even if the Prime Minister doesn't get why the climate is in crisis, businesses and communities do. We need urgent action now to support rapid decarbonisation and strong global leadership. #ClimateEmergency #GeneralElectionNow [Source]

• 03 Aug 2023: Tweet

  Government must ditch #Rosebank. Does @grantshapps @RishiSunak not understand how fragile this planet is? Keep hydrocarbons in the ground where they belong. Read letter from @ClimateAPPG ???? https://twitter.com/ClimateAPPG/status/1687113864826228736 [Source]

• 21 Nov 2022: Tweet

  It was clear today that Government are not taking the climate crisis seriously. Refusing to even look at on-shore wind and lacking ambition to address hydrocarbons, and methane, as I asked the Minister, is shameful. We are now heading for 2.8'C. #COP27 [Source]

• 19 Oct 2022: Vote

  Ban on Fracking for Shale Gas Bill - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 22 Sep 2022: Tweet

• 26 Apr 2022: Tweet

  @NavPMishra discusses the decarbonisation agenda and the issues with congestion on the roads, noise and air pollution - highlights the need to invest in good quality public transport across the country #FutureOfRail [Source]

• 07 Apr 2022: Tweet

  We have an energy crisis. We have a climate crisis. And what do we get: ????Fracking ????Nothing to help improve energy efficiency and retrofitting ????No progress with onshore wind and solar The Tories have abandoned the planet and abandoned you. #ClimateDestruction [Source]

• 06 Jan 2022: Tweet

• 13 Dec 2021: Vote

  Subsidy Control Bill — Schedule 1 - The subsidy control principles - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 15 Nov 2021: Tweet

  The Prime Minister was sent to #COP26 to keep 1.5'C alive, he left with it "in life support". We were failed; our planet was failed. Today I challenged @BorisJohnson being all talk and no action. A #GND needs both money and jobs ... where are they? #BioYorkshire - Yorkshire's GND [Source]

• 12 Nov 2021: Tweet

  There is some hope coming out of #COP26 but leaders need to meet again soon to ensure that commitments are delivered and more is achieved. https://twitter.com/BarryGardiner/status/1459088536074915847 [Source]

• 10 Nov 2021: Tweet

  #COP26 should have kept the hope of 1.5'C but after watching this, it's clear that hope lies on the streets of our towns and cities, not the COP-out in Glasgow. https://twitter.com/labourlewis/status/1458389839049629697 [Source]

• 05 Nov 2021: Tweet

  This is really the speech of #COP26 that should move us all to act. @miaamormottley is providing us the hope to keep 1.5'C alive and the leadership to make it happen. https://twitter.com/benphillips76/status/1455797084762820609 [Source]

• 05 Nov 2021: Tweet

  So it is down to children is it #COP26? I believe young people can educate Government about the #ClimateCrisis. While progress has been made, still not enough. @BorisJohnson is shameful, jet setting from COP to go to dinner parties while the planet burns. He just doesn't get it. [Source]

• 04 Nov 2021: Tweet

• 02 Nov 2021: Tweet

  ????????To aid carbon storage we need an immediate halt to felling forest & rainforests. 2030 is too late #COP26 The UK Government is planting less than 1/4 its target (30,000 hectares)/year by 2024; only increasing England’s woodland from 10% to 12% by 2050. Too little, too late???????? [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  #COP26 Transport emissions = 31% in the UK. We need drastic action .... the UK's carbon budget will be spent within 5 years. What are you going to do differently? Invest in public transport, cycling and walking not road building and cutting air duty? @10DowningStreet [Source]

• 14 Oct 2021: Tweet

  #COP26 must be the start of a process. It is well worth reading this excellent speech by @Ed_Miliband as it shows the ambition @UKLabour has for Glasgow, for our planet and for our future. https://twitter.com/Ed_Miliband/status/1448333335290388482 [Source]

• 12 Sep 2021: Tweet

  As the G7 and COP26 intersect without leadership, I spoke earlier this week in a debate about the future of "Global Britain" through the framework of human rights and the climate. My speech in full ???? https://www.rachaelmaskell.com/news_page/2021/09/09/global-britain/ [Source]

  Have had an inspirational day discussing the climate crisis and how we radically change our approach. Frustrating when the Green/LibDem Council and the Tory Government are way off the mark, not least when more city centre parking is nodded through. Broken policies = broken planet [Source]

• 02 Jan 2020: Tweet
