31 Mar 2021 Daniel Zeichner MP (@DanielZeichner) Absolutely right- we cannot let COP26 just come and go as a photo op for Boris Johnson. It’s the best chance we’ve got to deliver the change we need this decisive decade. The Government must throw everything at this. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/mar/29/last-thing-we-need-is-a-cosy-consensus-on-climate-crisis-warns-ed-miliband [Source]

31 Mar 2021 Jeevun Sandher MP (@JeevunSandher) Why is Biden promising his $2tn climate plan won't add to the national debt? It should! Borrowing to stop catastrophic climate change is a great investment proposition. The return on stopping mass extinction, desertification etc. is *really, really high* https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/30/business/economy/biden-infrastructure-taxes.html https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1377178214070583299/photo/1 [Source]
31 Mar 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) As the hosts of #COP26, the Government must provide the leadership necessary to put the world decisively on course to deliver on the ambition of the Paris Agreement and keep alive the hope of limiting global heating to 1.5°C. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/government-must-raise-its-game-or-risk-failure-at-cop26-wx627dt7z [Source]
31 Mar 2021 Pippa Heylings MP (@pippaheylings) At the same time as this govt (under @AlokSharma_RDG Presidency of global.climate summit) abandoned national home insulation programme to tackle emissions & fuel poverty, energy prices are set to rise #climateshambles https://twitter.com/SustainablePECT/status/1375835754266525696 [Source]

30th March 2021

30 Mar 2021 Kirsty McNeill MP (@kirstyjmcneill) UNDP chief Achim Steiner says #UKAid cuts send mixed signals about whether other governments should step up on climate finance, making @AlokSharma_RDG's job harder in the run up to #COP26. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/29/uk-urged-take-lead-helping-poor-countries-fund-climate-action-cop26 [Source]
30 Mar 2021 Kirsty McNeill MP (@kirstyjmcneill) Analysis in today's Times that even areas like girls' education and climate mitigation, @BorisJohnson priorities, will need to be cut to make #UKAid cuts stack up. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/foreign-aid-must-be-cut-by-two-thirds-to-meet-target-0lhc3gmxx [Source]

30 Mar 2021 Kate Dearden MP (@Kate_Dearden) Good article on scrapping Industrial Strategy - “costs of such pettiness will soon become clear. The UK urgently needs a dynamic, entrepreneurial mission-setting state to confront the triple crisis of COVID-19, rising inequality & climate change.” @ProSyn https://prosyn.org/Ex8ilZX [Source]
30 Mar 2021 David Mundell MP (@DavidMundellDCT) Hope the young people watching this are fact checking everything @NicolaSturgeon said on climate change. She has not met any of her targets! https://twitter.com/olivermundell/status/1376985692748791808 [Source]
30 Mar 2021 Harriet Cross MP (@Harriet4Gor_Buc) Anas Sawar has made no reference to #jobs in the north east. The UK Gov are investing in a North Sea Transition Deal that will protect #jobs while transitioning to net zero. Only @ScotTories will stand up for & ensure a fair share for us here in the North East #BBCLeadersDebate [Source]
30 Mar 2021 Kim Johnson MP (@KimJohnsonMP) Government flagship Green Homes Grant has £1bn of funds slashed, with 6,000 jobs created instead of promised 100,000 - 13,000 jobs lost in the NW. How is that "building back better"? Or being serious about addressing climate change? Creating quality jobs in green industries? [Source]

29th March 2021

29 Mar 2021 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) Things we know: (1) We need to be able to make steel; (2) We need to decarbonise how we make steel; (3) We want to protect steel jobs. So, Government should provide finance that is conditional on and guarantees these policy priorities. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56554590 [Source]
29 Mar 2021 Fleur Anderson MP (@PutneyFleur) The Green Homes Grant grant has failed and was scrapped yesterday. Always low on ambitious, just about insulation, didn’t involve the building industry in designing, complicated, over-subscribed and inept. So much for action on the Climate Emergency. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-56552484 [Source]

28 Mar 2021 Ian Sollom MP (@IanSollom) Incompetence. Just this week the Environmental Audit Committee was urging that the GHG scheme be fixed. Instead, the gov’t give up. ~£1.4bn to help tackle emissions unspent, damaging the growth and confidence of an industry we need to scale up rapidly. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/27/uk-government-scraps-green-homes-grant-after-six-months [Source]

26th March 2021

26 Mar 2021 Kerry McCarthy MP (@KerryMP) The Transport Decarbonisation Plan will be arriving at a station near you soon. Transport hugely important in getting us to net zero, so has to be as ambitious as possible - yet I don't see any signs that anyone is lobbying MPs on it. Campaign, anyone? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/creating-the-transport-decarbonisation-plan [Source]
26 Mar 2021 Steve Barclay MP (@SteveBarclay) The COVID-19 crisis has shown we are at a historic turning point in tackling global climate change. Great to speak at the @Ambrosetti_ conference today on building back our economy, our ambitions to protect the planet, and our commitment to work globally ???? https://x.com/SteveBarclay/status/1375469634888040453/photo/1 [Source]
26 Mar 2021 Ian Sollom MP (@IanSollom) Another failure of the Conservatives to take climate change seriously when it comes to actually doing something about it. On the front page of the report: “Global Challenge, Local Action” More like “Local Inaction” under James Palmer and the Tories. https://twitter.com/IanSollom/status/1375386752085590018/photo/1 https://twitter.com/AidanVdeW/status/1375378557950697473 [Source]

17 Mar 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) Also noteworthy that the strategy states that any coking coal mining activity “needs to be net zero compliant in the future” (p.53). Looking forward to the convoluted arguments the Northern Research Group will surely make in that regard vis-à-vis the proposed Cumbria coal mine. [Source]
17 Mar 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) A specific further thought on steel: it’s welcome that the strategy is supportive of @theCCCuk recommendation for ore-based steelmaking to achieve net zero by 2035 but that is going to require Ministers to bring forward the £250m Clean Steel Fund scheme as a matter of urgency. [Source]
17 Mar 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) The levels of ambition set out in the new Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy in relation to industry/the public sector are encouraging but the document is woefully light on detail (and downright opaque when it comes to decarbonising steel) and no new funding has been announced.

03 Mar 2021 Pat McFadden MP (@patmcfaddenmp) On net zero mandate for Bank of England, the Government voted against this for financial service regulators during both committee and report stage of the Financial Services bill.

03 Mar 2021 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) Is there anything in this budget that will fix the big challenges facing our country? Nothing for social care. Little on the climate emergency. Little by way of tacking inequality. Message seems to be “we hope Sunak might be popular”. [Source]
03 Mar 2021 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) "Energy" mentioned once. "Decarbonisation" mentioned twice. £1bn cut to the Green Homes Grant scheme. What happened to the Green Industrial Revolution? Our net zero transition isn't a side show, it has to be at the heart of the show. #Budget2021 [Source]

03 Mar 2021 Rebecca Long-Bailey MP (@RLong_Bailey) #Budget – is this a joke? Facing the existential threat of climate change and we see so little. eg. A paltry 12bn Investment Bank, shiny retail savings products and a distant report into carbon offsetting in the City of London? A Green Industrial Revolution this is not. [Source]

01 Mar 2021 Daniel Zeichner MP (@DanielZeichner) Great to see Trinity College commit to divesting from fossil fuels and to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Students have been rightly campaigning on this for many years. https://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/news/mp-welcomes-trinity-college-divestment [Source]
01 Mar 2021 Yasmin Qureshi MP (@YasminQureshiMP) As the world wants us to step up to the mark as we host both COP26 and the G7, we signal an international retreat @AnnaMcMorrin is absolutely right here https://twitter.com/AnnaMcMorrin/status/1366419229713571844 [Source]
01 Mar 2021 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) With an array of plans coming forward, this a great one.

01 Mar 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) Impressed by @avivaplc's #netzero 2040 plan. Genuine ambition covering scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as well as solid interim commitments. An example of real leadership on climate. Others should take note - recovery can't just mean business as usual. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/mar/01/aviva-sets-target-net-zero-carbon-footprint-2040 [Source]

01 Mar 2021 Ed Davey MP (@EdwardJDavey) Johnson’s failure to step in and stop this coal mine - especially in the year the UK hosts key climate talks - confirms the suspicion that his new-found interest in climate change is yet another act. Appalling. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56223327 [Source]
