28 May 2019 Chris Vince MP (@ChrisJVince) @RCorbettMEP congratulations on your re-election as leader of the Labour group in the European Parliament. Would very much have loved to have been part of your team fighting for a socialist Europe, tackling inequality & climate change but sadly not to be. I wish you every success [Source]
27 May 2019 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) The only way we can resolve some of the biggest issues we face, like inequality, social care, NHS and the climate emergency is to remain in Europe, to protect our economy, public services and environment.
We can stop this. And we will.
Thank you to everyone who voted Lib Dem. [Source]
27 May 2019 Liz Jarvis MP (@LizJarvisUK) “The most terrifying thing is a no deal Brexit, and us just walking away from the strength of being in Europe. It’s good for our economy, it’s good for our fight on climate change and it’s also good for peace and security.” @SalBrinton smashes it on @SkyNews [Source]

22 May 2019 Ben Lake MP (@BenMLake) Given the Welsh Gov's recent declaration of a climate emergency & UK Gov’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions, it's deeply concerning that a company has been granted permission to conduct an oil & gas survey off the Welsh coast, esp. in a Special Area of Conservation. https://x.com/BenMLake/status/1131139856883683328/photo/1 [Source]
20 May 2019 Dáire Hughes MP (@DaireHughesSF) Incentivise don’t punish - nail on the head stuff from @LNBDublin! ????????
Carbon tax doesn’t work, it doesn’t target key polluters and it puts more financial pressure on ordinary people.

16 May 2019 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) Proud of Lib Dems on South Hams District Council for bringing climate emergency motion. SHDC will now work with DCC and Teignbridge to make region carbon neutral by 2025. Good work all #ClimateAction #southhams #devon #Libdems @JohnBirchTotnes [Source]

10. Declared a climate emergency, committing to work towards being a carbon neutral borough by 2025. [Source]
10 May 2019 John Slinger MP (@JohnSlinger) At Change UK’s @ForChange_Now Birmingham launch of its Charter for Remain, the party’s Euro election coordinator @ChrisLeslieMP made the case both for honesty about tackling climate change & about how the party will tackle its opponents with facts and argument.
We like experts! [Source]
03 May 2019 Meg Hillier MP (@Meg_HillierMP) With Parliament making history by recognizing the #ClimateEmergency, now is the time for urgent climate action. This + botched probation reforms, and Monday’s surgery in #Hackney. Please don’t forget to register by 7 May to vote in #EuropeanElections. #SecondReferendum #Brexit https://x.com/Meg_HillierMP/status/1124356367538688001/video/1 [Source]
02 May 2019 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) As students called on politicians to act, I led local action to declare a climate emergency in #Cheltenham.
I've persuaded the borough council to agree to make the town carbon neutral by 2030, in line with the UN warning that the world has just 12 years to avert a catastrophe. https://twitter.com/mpmwilko/status/1123939767215972353/photo/1 [Source]
02 May 2019 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) .@theCCCUK report can be a manifesto for hope: creating jobs to transform our homes, saving lives by cleaning our air, rewilding our land. Needs a revolution in climate leadership across government and politics. [Source]

01 May 2019 Torcuil Crichton MP (@Torcuil) To tackle climate change we have to get serious about the sentiments of this speech. Chasing ever-rising GDP figures guarantees we'll burn the planet. A wellbeing measure sounds airy fairy but proper housing, green spaces and working less are good for env & reducing inequality https://twitter.com/ScotGovFM/status/1123536653329604608 [Source]
01 May 2019 Vicky Foxcroft MP (@vickyfoxcroft) Lots of people emailing about the climate change debate today. I will of course support our motion asking the Gov to declare a climate emergency (as Labour did in March). I have also written a response to constituents on my website: https://tinyurl.com/y424gsgb #ClimateEmergency [Source]
01 May 2019 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) @joegough93@campbellclaret@UKLabour While i support that vote, let's be honest, they only started talking about it in the past week. So even on climate change they're jumping on the bandwagon, and with the aim of deflecting attention. Brexit is terrible for environment. Get real! [Source]
