30 Jun 2020 Ellie Reeves MP (@elliereeves) We are facing an economic & climate crisis which a return to business as usual will not solve. The Govt must use this moment to deliver an ambitious green recovery plan that tackles climate change and rebuilds a resilient economy that benefits everyone.

25 Jun 2020 Lisa Nandy MP (@lisanandy) Today’s report shows we are not rising to the scale of the net zero challenge. As we rebuild post-COVID the government must put climate change front and centre and ensure this a green recovery. We simply cannot afford to squander this moment https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1276032627968000001 [Source]

18 Jun 2020 Gideon Amos MP (@GideonJAmos) Sounds like SSDC had problems bringing this project forward but but that’s it’s now making money from renewable energy for the taxpayer - don’t understand what’s so wrong with that! We need to switch to renewables & battery storage is key to doing so - well done #LibDems at SSDC https://twitter.com/levellerlive/status/1273240979655536640 [Source]

12 Jun 2020 Sarah Sackman MP (@sarahsackman) Also great to hear Rosewell arguing for pivot to green economy, decarbonisation and retrofitting our housing stock. Can’t believe @bbcnickrobinson suggested that planning rules were “dry” must be some mistake! [Source]

04 Jun 2020 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) @hoochachook@EdwardJDavey Why would anyone vote for us to form a government again if we tell them that our last attempt was a total failure? Ed’s record in the department for climate change is something we should want to own! ???? [Source]
