  These are the terrible consequences of kowtowing at China’s feet and surrendering at the altar of Net Zero. Steel has been the heart of Scunthorpe for over a century. Not only is this devastating for local people but energy supply has to be considered a matter of national security. I don’t care about ‘green steel’. I care about jobs for the people of Scunthorpe and the thriving communities that brings. Labour is bankrupting us. The world is laughing at us. [Source]

  Militant Miliband is so desperate to save his job-destroying climate agenda that today Labour MPs will vote to allow solar panels built from Chinese slave labour camps to be used on British homes. That’s despite the CCP committing genocide in Xinjiang. No principles, no shame. What a dirty business Net Zero is. [Source]

• 10 Feb 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  The proposed AQUIND interconnector between France and England will slice through my constituency, causing huge disruption, but of more significant concern is the fact that the Ministry of Defence has raised serious national security concerns about the proposed submarine power cable. Does the Minister agree that we cannot do anything to jeopardise our national security, and will he formally lodge an objection with the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, who will consider the proposal?

  Labour promised to cut your energy bills by £300. They lied and bills have skyrocketed. Militant Miliband’s Net Zero nonsense is making us all pay the price. The Green energy transition is a scam and the greatest act of economic self-sabotage in our countries history. https://twitter.com/bbcbreakfast/status/1887776845103329331 [Source]

  Watch this and tell me Net Zero & GB Energy are worth it. Labour promised to cut our energy bills and this is what Militant Milliband comes up with. A total waste of your money. https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1886367733362655663 [Source]

  Whether it’s Defence Spending, the Chagos Islands, net zero, China, Iran, Hamas or relationships with supranational organisations, the UK stands increasingly at odds with partners in America. The special relationship between the UK and the USA is broken. And it was this Labour government that broke it.

  This is the price we pay for Net Zero militancy. The sooner we abandon this virtue signalling nonsense the better. It's a total waste of time and money In the words of another politician: Drill baby drill ... https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1877682792592511132 [Source]

  Labour’s reckless obsession with dangerous green ideology has cost 3,000 hard-working Brits their jobs at Port Talbot. Militant Miliband is happy to sacrifice livelihoods, deindustrialise & push up energy bills. Bankrupting the British people cannot be how we achieve net zero. https://twitter.com/itvwales/status/1840369036271469043 [Source]

  The UK has been an active member of the North sea’s energy co-operation initiative since 2010. The aim is to explore the most cost-effective way of developing offshore grid infrastructure to exploit the considerable renewable energy resources in the North and Irish seas. The UK brings significant experience and expertise to this co-operation. Working together with other countries through this initiative will enable us to maximise the considerable business opportunities in the emerging offshore wind sector.

• 13 Dec 2017: Parliamentary Speech

  I want briefly to deal with the environmental regulation that the Minister talked about. The Government currently have a “one in, three out” rule. Many of our environmental regulations come from international mixed agreements signed and ratified, as he said, by the UK and the EU; some are bilateral and some are multilateral. The Environmental Audit Committee has been looking at our progress in reducing fluorinated gases. These are very powerful greenhouse gases with a global warming potential 14,000 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. They are in commercial refrigeration systems, in our car air-conditioning systems, and in 70% of the 60 million asthma inhalers that we use in this country every year. Targets for reducing those gases are set and monitored by the European Union, but we are also a signatory to the UN framework, so it is a mixed agreement. We have just ratified the Kigali amendment to reduce F-gases by 85% by 2036. That agreement is monitored by the EU, so the Bill will convert the regulation into UK law and we will need new regulations.

• 18 Jan 2016: Parliamentary Speech

  Providing affordable, reliable and sustainable energy is a key commitment of this Government, because climate change poses a threat not just to the environment, but to poverty eradication abroad and economic prosperity at home. The global deal secured at Paris last year goes far in tackling that threat head-on. I commend the Secretary of State for all her efforts in securing that historic agreement.

  UK energy usage fell by 18% between 2000 and 2014, and yet domestic energy bills almost doubled during that time, driven largely by gas prices. Since 1990, the proportion of the UK’s electricity generating from renewables has increased by about 19%, which is good news and encouraging for the renewable energy sector.

  I am proud that the Government have committed to meeting their objectives on cutting carbon emissions and continue to make progress towards the UK’s 2020 renewable energy targets. The renewable electricity programme aims to deliver 30% of the UK’s electricity demand from renewables by 2020, and we are on course to achieve that objective. Renewables already make up almost 20% of our electricity generation, and there is a strong pipeline to deliver the rest.

  As we decarbonise, it is imperative that we manage the costs to consumers. Although renewable energy costs have been coming down, subsidies still form part of people’s energy bills. As the share of renewables in the mix grows, so the impact gets proportionally larger. That is why the Government’s priority to bring about the transition of our carbon generation as cost-effectively and as securely as possible reflect their approach to fairness and sustainability. The levy control framework covering the period up to 2020-21 is one of the tools that will help to achieve that—it limits the impact of support for low-carbon electricity on consumer bills. We have a responsibility to manage support schemes efficiently within the levy-controlled framework to ensure we maintain public support for the action we are taking to bring down carbon emissions and combat climate change. Government support is designed to help technologies stand on their own two feet, not to encourage dependency on subsidy.
