• 19 Oct 2025 Huge investment in energy and jobs from Labour in Wales. ✅️ good jobs, good wages ✅️ new Technical Excellence College to train young people for these jobs of the future. Anti-jobs parties don’t want this: Reform will scrap green energy. Plaid object to solar & wind farms. https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1979899609532051535/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Apr 2025 By backing British industry and workers through industrial strategy - from defence to modern manufacturing and green energy in the Celtic Sea - we can build a Britain that can stand more firmly on its own two feet. 🏗 https://twitter.com/SkyPoliticsHub/status/1909672000294879355 [Source]
• 26 Feb 2025 RT @WalesOffice: Welsh Secretary @JoStevensLabour announces a £600 million landmark investment by CIP into green energy projects in Wales🌱… [Source]
• 15 Jan 2025 Great to attend @abports21 reception in Parliament y'day. They have exciting plans for Port Talbot. Head of UK's Mission for Clean Power @StarkClimate was clear on the need to build green energy supply chains in UK, noting critical role of Port Talbot in offshore clean energy. https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1879563945914286096/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Nov 2024 At @WelshLabour Conf I chaired a discussion on ensuring green energy projects deliver good jobs for Aberafan Maesteg & Wales. We know ports, businesses, developers & politicians all share that ambition - & UK/Welsh Govts & @TheCrownEstate are listening. Let's make it happen! https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1858209414269784336/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Aug 2024 RT @JoStevensLabour: Our two Labour Governments are working in partnership to unleash Wales' green energy potential, create new jobs and br… [Source]
• 19 May 2024 Britain can lead world in green energy – such as Floating Offshore Wind in the Celtic Sea – & British steel is needed to underpin this. @RachelReevesMP's Securonomics agenda & Labour’s Steel Fund can seize these opportunities. My comments on @TheNewsAgents Port Talbot special: https://twitter.com/SKinnock/status/1792128441711497580/video/1 [Source]
• 17 Feb 2024 Here's why I joined the #SaveOurSteel rally today: The multi-union plan accepts commercial & environmental need to decarbonise, but offers a bridge to the future which supports jobs & protects national security. Labour backs it. Tories are paying £500m for 2,800 job losses. https://twitter.com/SKinnock/status/1758948361854492705/video/1 [Source]

• 23 Oct 2023 Yesterday @KeirStarmer met with @CommunityUnion @GMB_union & @unitetheunion union reps in Port Talbot. Keir made it clear that the voice of steelworkers *must* be heard, and that the shift to green steel *must* be based on a just transition to the jobs of the future. https://twitter.com/SKinnock/status/1716393089659441433/photo/1 [Source]

• 12 Sep 2023 It was a pleasure to visit @RWE_UK recently and meet some of the team and get briefed on all of all of their exciting plans! I enjoyed seeing their recently renovated Baglan office and learning about the company's pivotal role in Wales’ renewable energy mix. https://twitter.com/SKinnock/status/1701532242948792332/photo/1 [Source]
• 02 Sep 2023 Steel is a strategic industry that underpins our entire economy. It provides tens of thousands of highly skilled jobs, it’s vital for our national security, and it’s key to achieving net zero. Failure to invest in our steel industry would be the very definition of a false economy https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1697970055034642879 [Source]
• 07 Aug 2023 UK is in a global race to produce Green Steel. Transition should be a partnership between Govt, unions & employers. Decarbonisation mustn't mean deindustrialisation. But the economic cost of doing nothing will be far greater. Yet UK Govt fails to grasp scale of challenge 1/2 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2023 📢 Today I co-launched a new report on how UK Govt must support UK steel & manufacturing by introducing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism #CBAM. De-carbonisation cannot mean de-industrialisation. We can't let heavy polluters overseas undercut UK firms https://www.stephenkinnock.co.uk/commission-for-carbon-competitiveness-report/ [Source]
• 17 Jul 2023 "Tata Steel argues that producing lower-carbon (& eventually no-carbon) steel could give British steelmaking a new lease of life." Strong piece from @JJPJolly on what our steel industry needs. In it I argue that we need a just transition for steelworkers https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/15/welsh-steelworks-at-breaking-point-over-the-cost-of-cleaning-up-its-act?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other [Source]

• 16 Feb 2023 I'm delighted to join Commission for Carbon Competitiveness. For me this is about making sure Britain's decarbonising steel industry is competitive and NOT undercut by high-carbon alternatives overseas. Decarbonisation can't mean deindustrialisation. https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/competitive-decarbonisation-way-save-industrial-communities?s=09 [Source]

• 04 Feb 2023 The prize-winning, globally renowned Specific project at @SwanseaUni is a truly inspiring example of net zero innovation. It’s still EU-funded, but the money is running out & there’s no guarantee it’ll get any Shared Prosperity Fund money. Vital @Info_Specific is sustained! https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1621021517499846662 [Source]
• 30 Jan 2023 RT @ABP_WSSP: A Celtic Freeport will deliver an accelerated pathway for Wales’ #netzero economy, is expected to generate over 16,000 new jo… [Source]
• 24 Jan 2023 The UK Govt's offer to support @TataSteelUK's decarbonisation is a step in the direction, but more must be done to match the ambition of other European govts if we are to keep our steel industry competitive. #WeNeedOurSteel for good jobs, our security, & the green transition. https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1617862251536592899/video/1 [Source]
• 04 Jan 2023 "The UK has two ways to decarbonise. The government could help transform British industry into sustainable world leaders. Or it could allow factories to shut and import goods [and more carbon] from abroad." - Henrik Adams, @TataSteelUK #WeNeedOurSteel https://www.thetimes.com/uk/article/britains-steel-industry-is-at-a-crossroads-but-it-can-still-be-saved-pshh5ds6d [Source]

• 22 Jul 2022 No steel industry can decarbonise without govt support, so why have Sunak, Truss & rest of Tory cabinet been dragging their feet? Do they think we shld stop making steel & import from China? This wld ⬆️ emissions, offshore jobs & weaken national security! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62262290 [Source]
• 01 Jun 2022 Governments across Europe are partnering with their steel industries to decarbonise - there are 23 hydrogen-based steel projects underway, as opposed to 0 here. Why is this?! Labour would invest £3bn to support the transition, but the UK Tory govt’s progress is painfully slow. https://twitter.com/MirrorPolitics/status/1531776285839695873 [Source]
• 03 Jan 2022 "There are huge challenges on the horizon. Climate change is already threatening jobs in energy-intensive industries such as steel and manufacturing. The longer we put off getting to net zero, the more jobs will be put at risk." 👏 @FrancesOGrady https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jan/02/omicron-uk-government-should-join-us-to-create-a-fair-and-resilient-economy [Source]
• 07 Dec 2021 To 'level up', boost Britain's resilience, & transition to net zero, we *need* a manufacturing renaissance - backed by strong steel industry. UK Govt *must* get our steelmakers exemptions from US tariffs - & level playing field with European competitors. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fc1219d8-56b5-11ec-81f2-17f963b74220?shareToken=1a662032f4c7785c443ba93e495d787a [Source]
• 07 Dec 2021 NEW @UKSteel__ report shows electricity cost challenges. As I say in the Mirror, a Net Zero economy will need just as much steel. Either we keep good, well paid jobs in UK, or we simply offshore both jobs and carbon emissions abroad. #WeNeedOurSteel https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/steel-firms-hopes-cutting-carbon-25630830 [Source]

• 04 Nov 2021 With #COP26 underway, I spoke to #SharpEnd about the importance of our Steel Industry in the transition to net-zero. Steel needs investment to support innovation and the exploration of technologies to decarbonise. @UKLabour is calling on UK govt to launch a Steel Renewal Fund. https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1456273635124002819/video/1 [Source]

• 27 Oct 2021 UK economy will need *more* steel to transition to net zero, but sky-high electricity prices are holding us back. Yet there was no help offered by PM when I asked him in #PMQs, nor by Chancellor in his #Budget. Dreadful. COP won't work without an energy cap. #WeNeedOurSteel https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1453367523945091075/video/1 [Source]

• 20 Jul 2021 As I say in here, UK Govt must commit to a sector deal for steel, with decarbonisation & a just transition for workers at its heart, plus action on sky-high industrial energy prices. A vague "potential" consultation needs to quickly become a Sector Deal. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/ministers-planning-steel-deal-help-24579348.amp?__twitter_impression=true [Source]
• 20 Jul 2021 Britain, #WeNeedOurSteel - for defence, economic security, good jobs, & net zero. My letter to @KwasiKwarteng on why UK govt needs a strategy for decarbonisation & a just transition for workers - plus action to tackle uncompetitive energy prices - to support UK steelmakers: https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1417437343938760718/photo/1 https://twitter.com/SKinnock/status/1417422982063050753 [Source]
• 15 Jun 2021 Today I chaired Steel APPG panel of experts exploring how best to decarbonise without deindustrialising. Real worries that UK is falling behind the EU and China on policy development and investment. Change is coming. UK govt urgently needs to show leadership. #WeNeedOurSteel https://x.com/SKinnock/status/1404815517366501382/photo/1 [Source]

• 18 Apr 2021 #WeNeedOurSteel. The challenge for the govt and steel companies is to de-carbonise without de-industrialising. That means a Just Transition to net zero based on serious public-private investment in green tech + workforce training.

• 04 Feb 2021 This @CommunityUnion @ProspectUnion report shows why we need a just transition to net zero, where workers & families are supported with new skills & jobs. And beware carbon offshoring - whereby we simply move emissions (& jobs) overseas. Increasing imports = increasing emissions https://twitter.com/MirrorPolitics/status/1356879865006481413 [Source]
