31st October 2019
31 Oct 2019 Will Forster MP (@WillForster) @lulunix@LibDems Politics isn’t just about Brexit, but we need to Stop Brexit so we can focus on other issues - like investing in the NHS, schools and trains, fighting climate change and much more. [Source]
30 Oct 2019 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) Johnson’s #BrexitDeal is bad for our country. We will have less money to fix the things that really matter - our schools and health services and tackling climate change. On Dec 12th, #VoteLibDem to #MakeItStop and build a fairer, greener society.

30 Oct 2019 Lisa Smart MP (@Lisa_Smart) @cass_chantrey Hi Cassie, the key issues for our area as I see it are tackling the climate emergency, improving the health service (eg an urgent treatment centre) and funding the police so that they can investigate every crime. [Source]

29 Oct 2019 Steff Aquarone MP (@Steffanaquarone) @callumringer_ Thanks Callum. At this stage probably not: there is important work to be done on climate change. The other challenge is that Melton Constable division is set to be broken up in 2021 with the boundary reviews. [Source]
29 Oct 2019 Jessica Toale MP (@JessicaToale) With all the focus on the climate protest over October - I've written about how they compare to the suffragette movement and what makes it stand apart. Check it out here: @jjtoale/a-message-of-hope-is-what-greta-thunberg-is-missing-90c813031ab8" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@jjtoale/a-message-of-hope-is-what-greta-thunberg-is-missing-90c813031ab8 #history #ExtinctionRebellion #climatechange [Source]
28 Oct 2019 Caroline Nokes MP (@carolinenokes) In a freezing Westminster Hall this afternoon to talk about restoring nature and climate change - huge thanks to @Debbie_Tann for helpful Hampshire examples [Source]
27 Oct 2019 Andrew Murrison MP (@AWMurrison) RT @DFID_UK: It's estimated that 2,000,000,000 are affected by hidden hunger.
The effects of climate change could make this worse.

26 Oct 2019 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) @DanHarte It’s frustrating. But the SYSTRA report will help move things along and the climate emergency declaration will shift policy too. [Source]
25th October 2019
25 Oct 2019 Andrew George MP (@AndrewGeorge_) Agree. Indeed, I’ve suggested having BOTH on the same day.
Give voters a chance to finally resolve the Brexit chaos once and for all
AND to look beyond Brexit to decide how our country is Governed: Restore our NHS & schools, resolving our housing crisis and climate crisis https://twitter.com/Doozy_45/status/1187403031022882816 [Source]
25 Oct 2019 Andrew Pakes MP (@andrewpakes_) This. If we want quickest route to low carbon we need to get the mix right. Also good that Labour recognised this point in its green industrial revolution this week. Now we just need a proper government plan #ClimateChange #JustTransition https://t.co/pYOp5nOjzd [Source]
24 Oct 2019 Bradley Thomas MP (@BradleyThomasUK) @coherentbaboon@Conservatives The Conservative Group tabled an amendment which puts our innovative and long established Intelligently Green plan at the forefront of our response to climate change. That motion became the substantive motion which all councillors supported apart from Lib Dem members. [Source]
23 Oct 2019 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) At the Climate Emergency Community Event in Poole Court - we all need to work together to cut South Gloucestershire's carbon emissions [Source]
23 Oct 2019 Gareth Bacon MP (@GarethBaconMP) RT @GLAConservative: ⚡️ REVEALED: The Mayor's clean air hypocrisy ????
???????? Only 7% of City Hall's car fleet are zero-emission.
????❌ Broken his p… [Source]
23 Oct 2019 Fabian Hamilton MP (@FabianLeedsNE) In May, Labour led parliament in declaring a climate emergency. Today I stand with over 300 MPs to demand our pension fund divests from fossil fuels. It is time to #DivestParliament. [Source]
22nd October 2019
22 Oct 2019 Apsana Begum MP (@ApsanaBegumMP) @LDNYoungLabour Thank you so much for this endorsement! It's time for a new kind of politics, where young people can access free education, gets people out of poverty and tackles the climate emergency we face! #ForTheMany #Apsana4PL [Source]
22 Oct 2019 Gill Furniss MP (@GillFurnissMP) RT @MP_Divest: ????BREAKING: 300 MPs support #DivestParliament!
To address the #ClimateEmergency head on, a growing cross party group of MPs… [Source]
22 Oct 2019 Ashley Fox MP (@Ashley7Fox) @DarrenEuronews@adidas Not forgetting that the EU has two Parliament buildings, costing taxpayers an additional €110m every year AND emitting an additional 19,000 tonnes of CO2 every year. [Source]
21st October 2019
21 Oct 2019 Dave Robertson MP (@DaveR_Lichfield) Current debate at #Lichfield City Council: Opposition parties suggesting we declare a climate emergency, Tories arguing against it on the basis that we did something environmental in the past. Not sure I understand the thinking #ClimateEmergency [Source]
17 Oct 2019 James Cartlidge MP (@jcartlidgemp) These are shocking scenes. Later in the Commons I hope to speak in the ‘Climate emergency’, today’s theme in the Queen’s Speech debate. We can do this the civilised way, through reasoned argument & legislation, without putting lives at risk & causing massive disruption. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1184717492721258497 [Source]
14 Oct 2019 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) Great to see original ethical man @BBCJustinR on @BBCPanorama tonight - he helped raise awareness of climate bill over 10 years ago (!) So much to do and little time but strangely exciting - in sense that things may actually be moving! @ChiefExecCCC is a superstar #ClimateChange [Source]
14 Oct 2019 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) Another news flash: Cheltenham Borough Council might soon have a cabinet member for climate change. That shows how seriously we are taking it. [Source]
14 Oct 2019 Dan Jarvis MP (@DanJarvisMP) RT @Debbie_abrahams: Together with 120 Northern leaders, I am taking the issue of #ClimateChange straight to the heart of the Government, a… [Source]
13 Oct 2019 Josh Newbury MP (@CllrJoshNewbury) @PeterABedford Who’s to say the BBC isn’t impartial? That’s your personal view as a highly partisan person. You’d probably say Blue Planet II was biased because it told viewers climate change is real and we need to act on it ???? I’ve only heard extremely ideological people complain about bias ????????♂️ [Source]
11 Oct 2019 Will Forster MP (@WillForster) @ClaireEMcD That’s awful, fighting climate change and protecting the environment should be a top 3 priority for any politician. [Source]
11 Oct 2019 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) I’ve thought about it hard. And I’ve concluded it is fine to buy stuff from shops and still demand action on climate change. I’m also sure it’s even perfectly acceptable to own a car and demand action on climate change. [Source]
11 Oct 2019 Rebecca Smith MP (@SWDevonRebecca) @CcaPlymouth@garystreeterSWD@JohnnyMercerUK Well, I’m committed to doing whatever I can to combat climate change, but having not yet had the opportunity to vote in Parliament and not knowing what future votes will be I can’t really comment more! However, I did vote for the Council’s acknowledgement of a climate emergency. [Source]
10 Oct 2019 Dan Jarvis MP (@DanJarvisMP) RT @cllrSPandor: We face an unprecedented #ClimateEmergency, we all have a responsibility to care for our planet & protect our environment.… [Source]
09 Oct 2019 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) @popejames True. We can all take some practical action too: Switch to a 100% green energy tariff; Switch your pension to an ethical fund etc etc. [Source]
09 Oct 2019 Imran Hussain MP (@Imran_HussainMP) RT @UKLabour: Labour takes the #ClimateEmergency seriously. It’s time for a Green Industrial Revolution. We'll increase UK offshore wind po… [Source]

08 Oct 2019 Caroline Nokes MP (@carolinenokes) Supporting my colleague Sarah Newton in Westminster Hall this morning discussing Government plans to reach net zero by 2050 [Source]
07 Oct 2019 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) @tomder74@sgloslibdems The question I asked at Cabinet was about what conversations the Administration are having with Government about funding, given Parliament too has declared a Climate Emergency [Source]
07 Oct 2019 Ellie Chowns MP (@EllieChowns) The @GreensEFA continue to fight to #stopMercosur & make trade work for #peoplenotprofit
This interim EU-Mercosur Impact Assessment predicts:
❗️More beef & dairy imports
❗️Increases in CO2 Emissions
❗️Further marginalisation of indigenous people

07 Oct 2019 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) Busy afternoon with my fellow @sgloslibdems asking questions at the South Glos Cabinet meeting - including about funding for taking action on the climate emergency and the rollout of broadband [Source]
05 Oct 2019 James Asser MP (@JamesAsser) Busy surgery this morning; issues including planning, housing, climate change and cleaning. Then a quick walk round the area to report some fly—tipping and street repair issues. #Beckton #Newham [Source]
05 Oct 2019 Will Forster MP (@WillForster) @lulunix@LibDems Certainty, why one of the many reasons why the Lib Dems and I want to stop Brexit is so the country can invest in public services, fight climate change and focus on other key issues. Brexit chaos is and will continue to overwhelm politics, unless it is stopped. [Source]
4th October 2019
04 Oct 2019 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) Recycling rubbish and renewable energy all part of their operation now, with more solar being planned. The key question for the industry is whether ‘Generation Easyjet’ turns its back on cheap flights or not. #Sustainability [Source]
02 Oct 2019 Ellie Chowns MP (@EllieChowns) My question to @kevinandrewsmp in the EU-Australia trade debate in #EuropeanParliament: can he see Aus joining NZ & others in new ACCTS Agreement on Climate Change and Trade and Sustainability, incl removal of fossil fuel subsidies? [Source]
