• 31 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Worcester is home to many small and independent businesses that contribute hugely to our distinctive culture. During the election, I visited Spin the Black Circle and Script Haven, to give just two examples, as well as larger companies that are also expressing our nation’s creativity and shaping its future. I have been privileged to work with teams of talented people at Worcester Bosch, inventing the technologies of the future to grow and decarbonise our economy. If any Member would appreciate an in-depth discussion on heat pumps or hydrogen, I am always happy to indulge, being an enthusiastic engineer by background.

  It is my belief that releasing innovation by investing in the talent, passion and skills of our emerging leaders, creators and problem solvers is key—key to our mission for growth, which is the guiding light of this Budget, and key to decarbonising our economy through industrial renewal, rebuilding our NHS, and putting people at the heart of all we do. Today, we are doing the vital work of fixing the foundations, because this kind of history-writing ambition is exactly what this place is for.

  Informed by the past and informing the future, Worcester has taught me that the key is to put people first, dream big, and unleash the creativity of diverse teams to shape the future. I came to politics with a passion to tackle climate change, see an end to modern slavery, and put leadership and vision back at the heart of politics. Let us remember that throughout the long history of this place, we, like Worcester, have never lingered on the past. As the Budget empowers us to do, let us continue always to fix our gaze with ambition, clarity, and focus on the creation of a bright and prosperous future.

  Renewable energy and the way we decarbonise our economy are very close to my heart - it’s been my career. Labour will protect the planet and our pockets by switching on Great British Energy. https://twitter.com/tomcollinsworcs/status/1796611045840089378/photo/1 [Source]

  Making Britain a Clean Energy Superpower will deliver huge wins: ✅ Secure Energy Supplies ✅ Lower Bills ✅ Good Jobs ✅ A Chance for Britain to Lead We need a government who will seize the opportunities of Net-Zero and put the UK in front. https://twitter.com/Ed_Miliband/status/1735306914211258435 [Source]

  Sadly this is just the start. We need to act fast on Climate Change. If we do it right, we can also make ourselves better off and more secure. For serious action and a serious approach, #VoteLabour https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66492767 [Source]

  I’ve been in Westminster today working on the transition to green energy. But the exciting stuff is happening at home in #Worcester, where we’re pioneering green technology and preparing to train a new generation of engineers and technicians to make it happen! https://twitter.com/tomcollinsworcs/status/1671571231810650116/photo/1 [Source]

  Learning never stops. Yet people out of work can't access training to re-skill. Climate change, digital technology and AI mean that our world is changing faster than ever. Everyone should be able to get new skills, especially when they're out of work. Vote hope, #VoteLabour https://twitter.com/JonAshworth/status/1662760879753166848 [Source]

  We can expect more record temperatures here in the UK too. Climate breakdown will affect health, food and wildlife. We need to prepare for extreme weather & also play our part to prevent more damage, urgently! I want to see the UK lead in green energy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-65518528 [Source]

  Going big on green energy is one of the best things this country could do for itself this century. Labour will show the vision and ambition to build a prosperous and sustainable future. It’s time to believe in ourselves. #VoteLabour https://twitter.com/UKLabour/status/1651205832132919299 [Source]

  Green energy is a vital & urgent step to rescue our ecology. It is also a great opportunity for the UK to reduce costs, improve energy security & enhance our economy. Labour is serious about making green energy happen, and making it benefit the people of the UK. Vote Labour https://twitter.com/tomcollinsworcs/status/1636788067678961666/photo/1 [Source]

  Thank you @_OliviaBlake for backing my campaign to become @WorcesterLabour's next MP! We must bring about a green industrial revolution to tackle the climate crisis, and with my experience in the hydrogen sector, I'm ready to give Worcester a national voice on this vital issue. https://twitter.com/tomcollinsworcs/status/1599422195717099520/photo/1 [Source]

  Delighted to have the support of local members like Penny. The climate crisis is the biggest issue we face. As a leader in Hydrogen energy, I've already got experience of influencing policy in this critical area. I'm ready to give Worcester a local vision and a national voice. https://twitter.com/tomcollinsworcs/status/1597568870738702336/photo/1 [Source]

  It was great to speak and join the panel at the Cost of Living event at the Hive last night, hosted by Greenpeace. Great debate around the transition to green energy, focussed on the most vulnerable. @UKLabour will invest in insulation and renewables, and tackle poverty head on. https://twitter.com/tomcollinsworcs/status/1595332075888025603/photo/1 [Source]

  Worcester deserves a local MP with a vision for our city, and an expert voice to tackle climate breakdown and the big issues in Parliament. I’m standing for selection to be Worcester’s parliamentary candidate for @UKLabour. https://collinsforworcester.uk/ local vision | national voice [Source]

  Very pleased that Worcester City Council has declared a Climate Emergency. Now we must take emergency action, greening and transforming our city for sustainability and biodiversity. One planet, one moment to act. [Source]
