23 Jan 2021 Emily Darlington MP (@emily4MK) Great news that the Bletchley to Bicester train line has had its funding confirmed but it is deeply disappointing that the line won’t be electric. Seems very shortsighted and a missed opportunity to combat climate change https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55770529 [Source]
23 Jan 2021 Ian Sollom MP (@IanSollom) “Diesel engines will initially run on the lines, but Mr Shapps said he hoped more environmentally friendly trains ... would replace them in the future.”
Some vague aspiration for the future isn’t good enough. EWR should be zero emission from day 1! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55770529 [Source]

19 Jan 2021 Al Pinkerton MP (@AlPinkerton) @mr_perez5@RHULGeography This helps to frame geopolitical interest in everything from climate change, the exploitation of rare earth minerals, maritime and territorial claims, bordering practices - as well as the stories and narratives that are told to shape our interpretation of these issues.

17 Jan 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) Cornwall's Climate Change agenda leads other parts of the country after a Labour amendment declaring a Climate Emergency and a 2030 target for carbon neutrality. Our Green Economy should be leading the way too. Cornwall needs investment leading to well-paid, fulltime jobs....5/6 [Source]
17 Jan 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) The G7 this year will be all about the post-Covid recovery and climate change.
Therefore, Cornwall is the perfect place to host. Not so much because of its stunning beauty, but because of its post-industrial history, environmental opportunities and climate change agenda. 1/4 [Source]

15 Jan 2021 Liz Twist MP (@LizTwistMP) Not only will it save residents money, but it will help us in our transition towards a zero-carbon future. People care hugely about climate change, and it's important that communities like ours aren't left behind in this transition. [Source]
13 Jan 2021 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) @BBC_Hayley The #CheltenhamZero conference had more than 100 people attending - all committed to getting together to fight the climate emergency. It was a hugely positive day and I was inspired by all the businesses and community groups. [Source]

06 Jan 2021 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) Delighted to see that the Democrats got their double win in Georgia - replacing one of the most right wing republicans with the first black senator in the state and Ossoff becomes the first Jewish senator for Georgia too unseating a climate change denier https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1346927424932515841 [Source]

05 Jan 2021 Jeevun Sandher MP (@JeevunSandher) @claytonj944 Spearheading the Paris Climate Accords that gives humanity a fighting chance of stopping catastrophic climate change and preventing a genocide in Libya places him in the same league as FDR. None of the other post-war Presidents come close, and pre-war was largely isolationist [Source]

In the inbox: flooding, Covid, climate crisis. So far 2021 is much like 2020...
But here’s my New Year’s resolution: hope for the best, then work your socks off to make it happen!
