10 Dec 2019 Ellie Reeves MP (@elliereeves) The Tories have failed to address the climate crisis & after 9 years in power the UK is now decades off course on vital emissions targets. Labour will tackle climate change head on by leading the world in delivering a Green Industrial Revolution & achieving net zero before 2050. https://x.com/elliereeves/status/1204493184769900549/video/1 [Source]
10 Dec 2019 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) @DorsetWildlife Firstly, the @libdems would reopen the department for climate change so that government resources are directed to the creation and implementation of environmental policies. It was closed in 2015 by the Conservatives. #VoteLibDems #dave4ndorset #ge2019 [Source]
09 Dec 2019 Rebecca Long-Bailey MP (@RLong_Bailey) A Labour victory this Thursday would put the climate crisis and a Green Industrial Revolution at the top of the agenda. The ripple effect would be huge - kick starting bold action on climate change across the world.

06 Dec 2019 Emily Darlington MP (@emily4MK) @Ed_Miliband In an alternate universe we won the 2015 election.

We are global leaders and our communities are stronger #sliding doors [Source]
05 Dec 2019 Will Forster MP (@WillForster) @5tevenWilliams The Lib Dems and I want to invest in sustainable transport - just like this.

02 Dec 2019 Jerome Mayhew MP (@JeromeMayhew) Just finished husting at #Aylsham Church, climate change was the most popular topic in the questions.
