22 Sep 2020 Dan Norris MP (@votedannorris) Good solid speech by Keir. Serious leader for serious times, unlike Boris Johnson who just isn't up to the job. I share Keir's vision for an economy that works for all regions including the West of England, for a govt that values our public services & will tackle climate change. [Source]
21 Sep 2020 Steff Aquarone MP (@Steffanaquarone) Local electricity generation is a huge opportunity for communities to get involved in our country's long-term response to the climate emergency. [Source]
18 Sep 2020 Beccy Cooper MP (@BeccyCooper4Lab) Last night in Scrutiny (that impartial meeting where Leaders are held to account...), Climate Change Cross Party report was voted down as recommendations highlighted #ToryIncompetence
For Pythonesque levels of belief, #Tory Councillor who helped to write report VOTED AGAINST IT [Source]
17 Sep 2020 Tom Morrison MP (@ThomasMorrison) @damienransome Classic spin. We’re saying that GMSF is now pointless because of the Conservative planning law changes. I think Will and Mary would be better off not playing politics and working on their voting record which are some of the worst in Parliament on climate change issues. [Source]

16 Sep 2020 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) Whatever your political views, issues such as climate change, antibiotic resistance and pandemics are beyond party politics.
We need to stop electing politicians who don't believe in science simply because they are standing for the party you support.
The stakes are too high. https://twitter.com/sciam/status/1305854127721910275 [Source]

10 Sep 2020 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) I strongly disagree with the proposition climate change is an issue of the left. Climate is a national/international issue. We have to work together. Solutions have, do and will come from all sides #climateaftercovid [Source]
10 Sep 2020 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) Our oceans are quietly taking the brunt of the climate crisis by absorbing much of the temperature rise ????
@SkyZeroOfficial been amazing at highlighting this. We have to reduce emissions and restore nature. It’s all interlinked ????
Time to turn the tide! #climateaftercovid [Source]
10 Sep 2020 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) We definitely need to switch from coal to gas but we also need to decarbonise travel. The numbers need to add up. It's like a diet after all, you can't just eat low calorie for one meal and stuff your face for the rest - all sectors count #climateaftercovid [Source]
10 Sep 2020 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) Great point from @ClaireClimate on amount of communication on Covid from Government. The amount has been impressive. The #climateassembly had strong message Government needed to do much more on explaining climate and the journey to #netzero #climateaftercovid [Source]

I care about climate change and biodiversity a massive amount but… [Source]
05 Sep 2020 Sean Woodcock MP (@SEANLWOODCOCK) I went to an Extinction Rebellion meeting in Banbury a year or so ago. I encountered very committed people. All of them were dedicated to doing something to tackle climate change and raise awareness of it among the populace. I support this.
I deplore their activities overnight. [Source]
05 Sep 2020 Priti Patel MP (@pritipatel) RT @TheSun: Here's our exclusive comment piece from Sir David Attenborough on the climate crisis. It's in today's paper, which Extinction R… [Source]

03 Sep 2020 Jack Abbott MP (@jackabbott90) Isn't it the worst luck that the only expert on trade out there is a homophobe, a misogynist and a climate change denier?
Really feel for Boris Johnson - he's stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one.
Good to see Matt Hancock sticking with his convictions though. https://twitter.com/KayBurley/status/1301406437458038784 [Source]
