• 20 Sep 2023: Tweet

  Sunak is turning his back on #climate pledges. This is bad for the planet and it's bad for our country. The UK could be a world-leader in renewables - particularly wind - creating millions of quality jobs. But Sunak is content to ditch his pledges and offer nothing. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1704463082389422487 [Source]

  Great contribution from my colleague @TanDhesi on the delays to the Camp Hill railway line. We need a project on-time and on budget. This is key for tackling climate change. The Government needs to ensure that #WestMidlands Mayor @andy4wm can deliver. https://twitter.com/TanDhesi/status/1691477618044923905 [Source]

  So energy giant BP has announced profits of £23,000,000,000 whilst workers are struggling to heat their homes. Profiteering is leaving millions destitute. It's time we tax these profits & use the revenue for helping those in need & funding a sustainable energy system. [Source]

  Ban on Fracking for Shale Gas Bill - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 07 Oct 2022: Tweet

  While Rees-Mogg announces he is digging deep for limited sources of fossil fuels in the North Sea, and Truss brings back fracking fraught with problems, Labour is promising a fairer, greener future. True energy security will only be found in clean, sustainable energy generation. https://twitter.com/UKLabour/status/1578369802816528384 [Source]

• 29 Sep 2022: Tweet

  It is an exciting time with @UKLabour's recent announcement of GB Energy, a publicly owned green energy company. It is time to take Britain off of fossil fuels, and to start utilising the possibilities of our great renewable resources. It is time to build the future. https://twitter.com/TahirAliMP/status/1575440252923248642/photo/1 [Source]

  The floods in Pakistan are. Thousands have been killed and millions displaced, with their lives in ruins. My thoughts are with all those who have been affected. This is climate change in action and should be a reminder to us all that urgent action is necessary. [Source]

  Great visit to Tyseley Energy Park today @bhamenergy where I got to see all of the vital work being done to decarbonise energy and transport. There is so much potential in the work being done and I look forward to pushing the Government to support this work more fully https://twitter.com/TahirAliMP/status/1553020100571267072/photo/1 [Source]

  What we saw yesterday from the #QueensSpeech was more evidence of a govt bereft of ideas. @Keir_Starmer did a fantastic job of outlining how a Labour govt would rise to the challenges of the cost of living, stagnant wages & climate change. The Tories are simply out of touch https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1524080424229773317 [Source]

  Rail fares continue to rise whilst wages are stagnant. Yet another squeeze on working people Encouraging use of public transport is important for achieving net zero & other climate targets. Yet millions of families are priced out of rail transport. @TanDhesi https://twitter.com/TahirAliMP/status/1501234114170703876/photo/1 [Source]

  World leaders gather at #COP26 let's remind ourselves of Sunak's las Budget - tax cuts on air & car travel, nothing on achieving net zero in our housing sector. Nothing on retrofitting or on green new builds. Housing cannot be an afterthought when considering climate change. [Source]

  The recent extreme weather points to one obvious issue - not enough is being done to avert the worst of the #ClimateCrisis. The recent IPCC #ClimateReport makes for very sobering reading. The UK must do more to lead the way in a just & green transition https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/09/worst-polluting-countries-must-make-drastic-carbon-cuts-says-cop26-chief [Source]

  We need a fair economy which tackles climate change & provides quality jobs that are well-paid, not a rigged system which only benefits the super-rich at the expense of our planet and workers around the world. @RachelReevesMP sets out @UKLabour's plans https://labourlist.org/2021/08/our-plans-to-improve-procurement-will-create-quality-jobs-and-raise-standards/ [Source]

• 26 May 2021: Vote

  Environment Bill — New Clause 24 - Prohibition on burning of peat in upland areas - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 18 Mar 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  World Water Day is an important time to reflect upon the universal value of water and the many obstacles freshwater communities face across the world. Climate change is driving water scarcity across the global south, affecting South and central America, Africa and east Asia, with projections of water shortages reaching extremely dangerous levels over the next 10 years. That is why today’s debate is so important and why it is deeply concerning that the UK Government have substantially cut overseas aid that would help millions of people facing some of the worst droughts, famines and humanitarian crises in recent history.

  It must also be noted that water scarcity is intensifying regional conflicts, one example of which is in Jammu and Kashmir, where climate change means natural glaciers are melting, leading to a significant reduction in fresh water supplies. In addition, several rivers that run through the region provide water to two major regional powers, Pakistan and India. India’s recent military occupation of Kashmir was in part driven by concerns over water shortages, and it is clear that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is part of a water conflict between Pakistan and India with the people of Kashmir caught in the middle, suffering increasing water scarcity as a result. Therefore, it is essential that international organisations work together to solve water scarcity and prevent conflicts from arising. This is why the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is of international significance and why the conflict in the region must be brought to a peaceful and just resolution so that the people of Kashmir, Pakistan and India do not face an escalating humanitarian crisis due to scarcity of water.

  Today's budget: nothing on the NHS, public pay still frozen, nothing on statutory sick pay, weak on climate change, nothing on legacy benefits. Lots of headline grabbing announcements, but little substance for supporting the most vulnerable. [Source]

  The climate emergency needs to be taken seriously and can be avoided if bold and ambitious steps are taken. Hundreds of properties have been flooded in Birmingham, Hall Green and remain at risk of flooding from the River Cole. Urgent and adequate funding and a programme are required to prevent such disasters from happening again.
