31st July 2020
31 Jul 2020 Ed Davey MP (@EdwardJDavey) RT @PTylerLords: So have I ... I will never forget how superbly supportive Ed was of our efforts to pioneer renewable energy in North Cornw… [Source]
24 Jul 2020 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) Felt compelled to speak on @BBCTalkback about Edwin Poots as Environment Minister being disingenuous but also irresponsible by denying climate crisis. This DUP language. We need a minister who is serious about tackling climate change- not one who is in denial & dragging his feet [Source]
22 Jul 2020 Bradley Thomas MP (@BradleyThomasUK) The Plan contains 5 main targets:
???? Reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions by at least 75% by 2030
???? Halve district wide carbon emissions by 2030
???? Double the size of Wychavon’s low carbon economy by 2030
???? Treble renewable energy generation in the district by 2030 [Source]
21 Jul 2020 Liz Twist MP (@LizTwistMP) 4/
They also voted down amendments that would protect our environment and put up safeguards for our hardworking British farmers and our famously high standards.
They are taking rural voters for granted and not adequately preparing the country for the effects of climate change. [Source]

15 Jul 2020 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) @sammyptweet@jeremy4glos There are ways to make streets accessible for residents only. There are interventions that could be introduced to reduce through traffic. Open-mindedness and enquiry is needed if the climate emergency is to be tackled and public health is to be improved. [Source]
15 Jul 2020 Zubir Ahmed MP (@zubirahmed) @joydhughes A lot of this “net zero” relies a vast and possibly implausible amount of carbon capture technology being in place. Oil will still be burning liberally in 2050 the oil companies are still looking both ways ..... [Source]
12 Jul 2020 Ed Davey MP (@EdwardJDavey) With my experiences as a carer & my leadership on issues like climate change, I know I can lead our party to meet the challenges ahead.
Let's make @LibDems the most powerful force for change in our politics. Back my campaign & sign up for email updates at http://voteEd.uk [Source]
11th July 2020
11 Jul 2020 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) Closing statements: Layla says we need to win back young people. I called the first debate in years in the HoC on climate change...we need to rebalance our economy. Think of all 4 nations of the UK and win seats in Cardiff and Edinburgh. #libdems #libdemhustings [Source]
11 Jul 2020 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) Ed says yes this is in our constitution. I'm a big believer in council housing. We're building zero-carbon council houses in Kingston. This is a great vehicle for tackling poverty and tackling the climate emergency. We need a Beveridge 2. #libdems #libdemhustings @EdwardJDavey [Source]
11 Jul 2020 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) Ed begins: these are challenging times...covid,brexit, climate change. Take my green recovery plan...investing 150 billion with a green jobs guarantee. I can deliver on this because i've done it before. Waves 'Seeing Green' book, the book that inspired him to get into politics. [Source]
09 Jul 2020 Liz Jarvis MP (@LizJarvisUK) Terrible news from the High St this morning. Thousands of jobs going at Boots and John Lewis. It’s clear the Government needs a more radical approach, a long term economic strategy for dealing with unemployment, climate change and inequality. [Source]
8th July 2020
08 Jul 2020 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) Still poring over #minibudget and Green New Deal it ain't. Tackling climate crisis is about more than insulation. Nothing in there either about green Apprenticeships or encouraging innovation, green jobs. This could actually accelerate some problems #ChancellorsStatement [Source]
08 Jul 2020 Paul Kohler MP (@PaulKohlerSW19) @andygmckay@JoelPunwani Thanks Joel & Andy.
Yes I am strongly backing @EdwardJDavey
I love @LaylaMoran but it is very clear to me that we need Ed’s leadership & vision to get us over the line here.
His record as Energy & Climate Change minister is 2nd to none & people really respect all he achieved. [Source]
08 Jul 2020 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) But where are the bold green energy schemes like in Germany? Hydrogen? Our geo-thermal, wind, tidal and solar resources are sat here in Cornwall, waiting for investment to kickstart our green industry potential. Creating new jobs as an alternative to the tourism sector. 4/4 [Source]
07 Jul 2020 Pat McFadden MP (@patmcfaddenmp) RT @wesstreeting: The Conservative manifesto pledged £9bn for energy efficiency, which the Committee on Climate Change said was ‘not enough… [Source]
07 Jul 2020 Neil Shastri-Hurst MP (@DrNShastriHurst) The @Conservatives ‘New Deal’ for ???????? is committing:
£2bn – worth up to £5K per household and £10K for low-income households – for green home upgrades ????
£1bn to decarbonise public sector buildings to meet our Net Zero 2050 target ????
£50m to make social housing greener ???????? [Source]
07 Jul 2020 Ed Davey MP (@EdwardJDavey) Tory insulation plan just not up to the scale of the jobs recession and climate emergency
My Green Recovery Plan has far more ambition for home insulation
@LibDems want immediate focus on fuel poor homes in social housing and rented sectors

06 Jul 2020 Ed Davey MP (@EdwardJDavey) @layanglicana Sure. Youth unemployment is set to rocket & this is our last chance to tackle climate emergency. So need a dramatic plan to train & retrain people in the green skills we need - immediately underpinned with jobs like home insulation, green heating systems & nature restoration [Source]

02 Jul 2020 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) What's infuriating about situation with Cummings & O'Neill is that instead of discussing & engaging on mental health, Brexit, societal rebuilds after covid & climate change, time is wasted by those who think they are the elite. We're here to serve people- not the other way round [Source]

01 Jul 2020 Kim Johnson MP (@KimJohnsonMP) Thank you to all of my constituents who joined the discussion on building a greener, fairer economy as part of #TheTimeIsNow @TheCCoalition. Positive ideas on how to tackle climate change across the world as well as in UK. I'll take them to @BorisJohnson [Source]
