• 24 Jul 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Montgomeryshire makes up the larger part of the constituency and also has a fantastic history. It was here that Robert Owen, the pre-Marxist socialist, was born in 1771 and died in 1858, in Y Drenewydd, the largest town in my constituency. Montgomeryshire has been at the forefront of environmental and green initiatives. It is the home of the Centre for Alternative Technology, of which my father was a founder member in the 1970s. To this day, Montgomeryshire produces approximately 96% of the power it uses through renewable energy sources. That takes me on to what has to be one of my objectives, and one of the priorities for this Government: the creation of Great British Energy, a publicly owned energy company which will see a vast increase in renewables. What else are my objectives? Until earlier this month, I was a national executive member of the NASUWT teachers’ union, so our new deal for working people is incredibly close to my heart. The banning of fire and rehire, and even more so the abolition of zero-hours contracts, are things that this country desperately needs. We will bring them about in the first 100 days of Government.

  We deserve better in Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr. I will work tirelessly to bring prosperity back to our high streets, protect the most vulnerable, combat climate change and give young people more opportunities. On July 4 vote for change. https://twitter.com/mywelshpool/status/1807720548220141589 [Source]

  If elected I will champion our clean energy industry and work to attract more green capital that will create high paying skilled jobs, slash energy bills, and combat climate change. https://stevewitherden.wales/2024/06/12/protecting-the-natural-environment/ [Source]

  The Tories cannot be trusted with protecting the environment. If elected as your MP, I will fight to preserve our natural environment, invest in green energy, reinvest profits, vote for Great British Energy, and protect farmers and the countryside. https://twitter.com/Steve_Witherden/status/1803444183824212098/photo/1 [Source]

  Rishi Sunak and his right hand man Craig Williams have taken a clear stand on climate - they're in favour of fossil fuel producers. Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr is a success story when it comes to green energy. I will continue to champion it if elected. https://stevewitherden.wales/2024/06/12/protecting-the-natural-environment/ [Source]

  Combatting climate change is essential to securing our future prosperity and security. I will make the environment one of my top priorities if elected as your MP. A vote for me is a vote for a stronger, greener, and fairer Montgomeryshire & Glyndŵr. https://stevewitherden.wales/2024/06/12/protecting-the-natural-environment/ [Source]

  The Tories have rowed back on climate policies, tried to stop the King from attending COP27 and watched while private water companies filled our rivers and lakes with sewage. It's time for a serious government that protects the natural environment. https://stevewitherden.wales/2024/06/12/protecting-the-natural-environment/ [Source]

  Ease cost-of-living ✅ Modernize the NHS & reduce waiting times ✅ Invest in Green Energy and create thousands of jobs ✅ Break down barriers for young people and invest in education ✅ Fairer funding for Wales ✅ These are my guarantees of what I will fight for if elected. https://twitter.com/Steve_Witherden/status/1798022079142388097/photo/1 [Source]

  Campaign groups in Esclusham have fought tirelessly against the construction of the lithium battery plant. I stand with green energy but to build something so dangerous is not what our community needs. I will do all I can to work with the people of Esclusham! https://twitter.com/Steve_Witherden/status/1797327352583618617/video/1 [Source]

  Sunak has unveiled his unfunded National Service gimmick. Labour will focus on helping working people instead. I’m talking to voters about our priorities - easing the cost of living crisis, reducing NHS waiting times and investing in green energy. Vote Labour July 4th. https://twitter.com/Steve_Witherden/status/1795893043037434104/photo/1 [Source]
