• 03 Jul 2024 Labour’s net zero fanaticism will mean higher and higher taxes for you and your family. 22 hours to stop the Labour supermajority. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1808410355669848290/video/1 [Source]
• 21 Jun 2024 It's not right for hard working people to pay the price for Net Zero. [Source]
• 17 Jun 2024 From forcing you to buy an electric car from 2030 to ripping out boilers across the country - Labour’s net zero costs will put ideology first and burden you with thousands in new green costs. And that’s before accounting for the threat Labour’s approach poses to your bills. [Source]
• 17 Jun 2024 The @Conservatives will always take an honest and pragmatic approach to Net Zero. But Keir Starmer wants unchecked power to do exactly the opposite - to go too far and too fast with unnecessary taxes and rules that families cannot afford. [Source]
• 17 Jun 2024 Labour’s extreme net-zero proposals put the unnecessary demands of green ideology ahead of the needs of British families For no benefit they will push our nation’s finances to a cliff edge, hike your bills and hand tyrant’s like Putin the power to blackmail the UK. [Source]
• 09 Jun 2024 The £2,094 over four years figure comes from published analysis of 27 Labour commitments. Each one comes with an associated cost to the taxpayer. For example, Labour themselves have said that their proposal to decarbonise the power grid would cost £23.7 billion. [Source]

• 01 Dec 2023 The transition to net zero must benefit, not burden, ordinary families. That’s why I have set out a new approach to get us there. Read more???? https://pm-priorities.campaign.gov.uk/cop28-how-were-reaching-net-zero-2/ [Source]
• 01 Dec 2023 I’m heading to this summit with a record that the UK can be proud of: ✅ Fastest decarbonisation in the G7 ✅ Most ambitious emissions reductions targets of any major economy ✅ Record investment in renewables [Source]
• 01 Dec 2023 This @COP28_UAE, we’re committing £1.6 billion for international climate finance projects that will: ???? Protect forests ???? Encourage private investment ⚡️Back renewables [Source]
• 01 Dec 2023 The UK has decarbonised faster than any other G7 country. But we can’t stop there. That’s why I’m at @COP28_UAE, to work with countries to tackle climate change. Here’s what we’re doing ???? https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1730535362177757639/photo/1 [Source]
• 24 Nov 2023 This @Nissan commitment will protect Britain’s largest car factory, supporting 7,000 jobs and 30,000 employed in the wider supply chain. The development of two new electric vehicle models will also put greener cars on the road, helping us deliver our net zero commitments. [Source]
• 20 Nov 2023 To grow the economy, we're taking five long-term decisions???? ➡️Reducing debt ➡️Cutting tax and rewarding work ➡️Building domestic, sustainable energy ➡️Backing British business ➡️Delivering a world-class education This is how we'll build a brighter future for our children. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1726610305256677430/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Nov 2023 Energy security underpins our economy so there can be no plan for growth without it. We’ll build domestic, sustainable energy: ☢️ New nuclear power stations ????

• 06 Nov 2023 So that’s our plan: ✅Making the UK more energy independent ✅Growing the economy ✅Cutting emissions This is all part of our pragmatic and balanced approach to meeting net zero that eases the burden on families – helping to get the country on the right path for the future. [Source]
• 06 Nov 2023 Backing British oil & gas will also support more than 200,000 jobs and adds £16 billion to the UK economy each year. It will also help unlock green investment, driving forward investment in clean tech and helping us reach net zero. [Source]
• 06 Nov 2023 Encouraging domestic oil and gas production, rather than importing from other countries, means lower carbon fuels for the UK. The new licensing rules will also be contingent on strict new emissions tests to support our transition to net zero. [Source]
• 06 Nov 2023 Even when we've reached net zero in 2050, a quarter of the UK's energy supplies will come from oil & gas. Boosting the domestic production of oil & gas, as well as renewables and nuclear, is the energy mix we need to transition to net zero in a realistic and pragmatic way. [Source]
• 06 Nov 2023 I am proud that the UK is a world leader in reducing emissions, and that our plan to transition to net zero does so without adding undue burdens on households. Investing in home-grown energy, like oil & gas, will be crucial to that. A ????on why. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1721466814771704093/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 Oct 2023 Enjoyed chatting with @currys staff in Nottingham about the long-term decisions I'm taking to build a brighter future.

• 27 Sep 2023 The Climate Change Committee have said you don’t reach Net Zero by wishing it. As we make the transition to renewables, we will still need oil and gas – it makes sense to use our own supplies such as Rosebank. This is the right long-term decision for the UK’s energy security. https://twitter.com/energygovuk/status/1706943703225340358 [Source]
• 22 Sep 2023 For too long the Net Zero debate has been stuck between two extremes. But when you talk to people who want to build a greener economy, like I did at @WrittleOfficial, you'll hear that what's required is consent not imposition, pragmatism not ideology. That’s what we'll achieve. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1705253676904861969/photo/1 [Source]
• 22 Sep 2023 On Wednesday I announced a pragmatic, proportionate and realistic way to reach Net Zero. We've already reduced emissions faster than any other major country.

• 21 Sep 2023 Today I was at @WrittleOfficial speaking with farming students about our new approach to reaching Net Zero by 2050 while easing the burden on working people. This is important for families in rural communities who face huge costs and are the backbone of their local economies. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1704881611643195687/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2023 Enjoyed answering questions from @bbcnickrobinson about our new approach to reach Net Zero by 2050. I'm going to make big decisions in the long-term interests of our country, even if they're difficult. That's how we'll deliver change and build a better future for our children. https://twitter.com/10DowningStreet/status/1704813480501555707 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2023 I care about reaching Net Zero by 2050 but on the current path, we risk losing the consent of British people. No one has yet had the courage to look people in the eye and explain what’s really involved. That’s wrong, and it changes with this new approach to meeting Net Zero. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1704790172338979096/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2023 We're changing the way we reach Net Zero by 2050 to ease the burden on working people.

• 20 Sep 2023 This important thread shows we’re so far ahead of every other country in the world on Net Zero. So how can it be right that British citizens are now being told to sacrifice even more than others? That's why we've set out a new approach to achieving net zero ???? https://twitter.com/10DowningStreet/status/1704521785050353733 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050. Our new approach will embrace with even greater enthusiasm the incredible opportunities of green industry. This will create hundreds of thousands of good, well-paid jobs right across the country. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1704523757975441517/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people. We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1704522548648509467/photo/1 [Source]

• 02 Aug 2023 Like Sarah, I care about the UK reaching net zero. And I’ll get us there in a proportionate and pragmatic way. By backing new oil & gas licences in the North Sea, we will: ⚡️ Power Britain from Britain ???? Become more energy independent ???????? Boost British jobs ⬆️ Grow the economy https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1686679139858763776/video/1 [Source]
