24 Jun 2021 Nick Timothy MP (@NJ_Timothy) This tweet has been on the receiving end of the usual bad faith arguments. But decide for yourself whether questions of “fairness and the just transition” towards net zero are legitimately political questions for elected politicians or an unaccountable committee of technocrats. https://twitter.com/NJ_Timothy/status/1408167212825841664/photo/1 [Source]

24 Jun 2021 Nick Timothy MP (@NJ_Timothy) The climate change committee thinks it’s above democracy. It set net zero targets with fantasy plans to meet them, and now berates ministers for taking time to engage with reality. And it unilaterally expands its remit to hold government to account and cover yet more policies. [Source]

09 Jun 2021 Matt Western MP (@MattWestern_) Credibility is important for a COP26 host.
By scrapping Labour's pledge to build 1m net-zero homes, this Govt has proved it is not serious about the climate emergency.
Then there's cutting the Green Homes Grant, the Cumbria coal mine and slashing overseas aid.

The government’s decision to cut aid spending, the only G7 country to do so, is therefore not only wrong in principle but also staggeringly self-defeating.
