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.” @ProSynhttps://prosyn.org/Ex8ilZX [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]
30 Mar 2021 Andrew Griffith MP (@griffitha) RT @beisgovuk: 3️⃣0️⃣????✅
30 of the UK’s 100 biggest companies have pledged to reach #NetZero emissions by 2050 or earlier.
Now we’re calli… [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.

14 Mar 2021 Apsana Begum MP (@ApsanaBegumMP) Both the #PoliceCrackdownBill & #SpyCopsBill embolden male violence by public agencies.
But they also propose to repress trade union, climate emergency & anti-racist activity. The #PCSCBill singles out traveller communities.
Our activism must be intersectional. [Source]
13 Mar 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) RT @timbolord: Excellent Times piece on the Cumbria coal mine decision. Net zero will involve some tough political choices; if we're seriou… [Source]
11 Mar 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) This could have real benefits for Cornwall if we are able to invest in our infrastructure (maybe even the means of production of green energy). I hope the Pensions Cttee in the next administration will be similarly ambitious and forward-looking, as this is merely the start.5/6 [Source]
11 Mar 2021 Ben Obese-Jecty MP (@BenObeseJecty) On the windiest day of the year, good to see more investment in offshore wind with a further £95m pledged and the creation of another 6000 new jobs
Green energy is the direction of travel for the sector and this puts the UK on the front foot for meeting it’s carbon neutral goals https://twitter.com/SciTechgovuk/status/1369913529411731459 [Source]

10 Mar 2021 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) Uk claims it’s “world leading” in #NetZero commitment but in space of 1 week *fuel duty frozen encouraging petrol/diesel cars, *scrapping APD on internal flights wi no link to low Carbon fuel BUT allow *price hike for rail, *no support for bus, and *ripping out bike lanes ???? https://twitter.com/pantariste/status/1369582689506975744 [Source]

03 Mar 2021 Andrew Cooper MP (@GoAndrCoop) Parts of the approved plans were in the higher risk flood zones - so the developer has had to mitigate that by raising those ground levels, and all of the houses are conditioned such that they have to built with ground floor above a level to take into account climate change +%.

03 Mar 2021 Tahir Ali MP (@TahirAliMP) Today's budget: nothing on the NHS, public pay still frozen, nothing on statutory sick pay, weak on climate change, nothing on legacy benefits.
Lots of headline grabbing announcements, but little substance for supporting the most vulnerable. [Source]

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]
