BREAKING: I'm bringing a Make Polluters Pay Bill to Parliament. The principle is clear: fossil fuel giants and major polluters must fund the huge investment needed in climate action. It's only right that those who’ve driven us to the cliff edge of climate catastrophe pay up. https://x.com/RichardBurgon/status/1890051596828238236/photo/1 [Source] -

On the wider points of the debate, I mentioned the obscene, eye-watering profits from these energy companies. They are the same energy companies, by the way, that have pushed our bills up and pushed us towards climate catastrophe.

While the far-right are trying to turn climate change into the latest culture war, our communities are paying the price with devastating floods. The Tories left flood defences in the worst state on record. In Parliament, I said it's urgent to fix our flood defences. https://x.com/RichardBurgon/status/1870085350091010187/video/1 [Source] -
19 Dec 2024: Parliamentary Speech
While the far right and shamefully even some MPs in this House are busy denying climate change and trying to turn it into the latest culture war, people in our communities are paying the price. More and more severe floods are devastating people’s lives, as we have seen again in recent weeks, and I am afraid it will only get worse. Does the Minister agree that it is an absolute disgrace that the last Government left our flood defences in the worst state on record, and that fixing that has to be a national priority and a key part of preparing for climate change?

The only way to protect our communities from the climate emergency is through global collective action. Yet #COP29 failed to provide the funding urgently needed. Fossil fuel giants are making vast profits while driving the climate crisis. They should be the ones made to pay up. https://x.com/RichardBurgon/status/1861829408580927661/video/1 [Source]
