30th December 2021
30 Dec 2021 Harriett Baldwin MP (@hbaldwin) RT @vickyford: This year ???????? deepened our partnerships with African countries to fight Covid-19 & climate change, improve access to educatio… [Source]
29 Dec 2021 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) At the moment, the main whole-of-government vehicle for net zero delivery is a Cabinet Office sub-committee chaired by Alok Sharma. But the main delivery department is BEIS. Enforcement of net zero policies across Government doesn’t happen. [Source]
28 Dec 2021 Andrew Pakes MP (@andrewpakes_) @antoniabance@alexevansuk Also goes to heart of why #JustTransition is so important. Power within places as well as across the world. Just telling people they will have green jobs doesn’t make it so. Or listen to their stories. Progressive coalitions need to be porous not fortresses [Source]
27 Dec 2021 Seema Malhotra MP (@SeemaMalhotra1) RT @nesta_uk: What are the big ideas for decarbonising homes? We asked experts to tell us how they think we should speed up the transition… [Source]
17 Dec 2021 Jayne Kirkham MP (@JayneKirkham4) @TamsynWiddon@burngold@fcampbellhowes Hang on.. the greens stood in loads of seats at the Locals in falmouth against particularly green reds (Kirstie & Sinead) who lost by tiny margins. & Labour work with all groups at CC. We’ve always had to & that’s how I got the climate emergency amendment through. [Source]
17 Dec 2021 Chris Curtis MP (@chriscurtis94) The Tories are clearly in need of a reset. They need a clear sense of purpose and a more consistent critique of the opposition.
On purpose, they are bouncing around from “fighting climate change” to “leveling up” to “fixing social care” etc. etc. etc. [Source]
17 Dec 2021 Rosena Allin-Khan MP (@DrRosena) RT @TanDhesi: Priority of last Labour Govt was to spend billions modernising our old inefficient trains.

16th December 2021
16 Dec 2021 Tan Dhesi MP (@TanDhesi) Priority of last Labour Govt was to spend billions modernising our old inefficient trains.
Given #ClimateCrisis, focus of last lost decade should have been to electrify #rail network, but how is Govt ever going to achieve #NetZero, when the Chancellor is blocking the funding? https://x.com/TanDhesi/status/1471465730352848897/video/1 [Source]
16 Dec 2021 Peter Kyle MP (@peterkyle) RT @LouHaigh: Today, Ministers snuck out another huge cut to the electric car grant.

15 Dec 2021 Louise Haigh MP (@LouHaigh) Today, Ministers snuck out another huge cut to the electric car grant.
There is no path to net-zero without affordable green transport.
This foolish, short-sighted decision shows they simply aren’t serious about tackling the climate crisis. [Source]
14 Dec 2021 Iain Duncan Smith MP (@MPIainDS) Cross party MPs call for Value for Money Review of the #EdmontonIncinerator construction. Letter to @GregHands Minister for Energy, Clean Growth & Climate Change ahead of the vote by the @connectNLWA to award the contract to the only remaining bidder, Acciona, due on 16th Dec. [Source]
14 Dec 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) RT @LeoHickman: Major warning signs about rapid climate change are flashing awaying today at both of the planet’s poles.
But, no doubt, th… [Source]
12 Dec 2021 Imran Hussain MP (@Imran_HussainMP) RT @LouHaigh: This Government has no plan to deliver a rail network fit for this century.
And no plan to get to net zero.
The consequenc… [Source]
11 Dec 2021 Jim McMahon MP (@JimfromOldham) RT @Ed_Miliband: By breaking pledges on transport in the North and failing to deliver for TfL, the government threatens the net zero agenda… [Source]
11 Dec 2021 Helen Hayes MP (@helenhayes_) RT @FossilFreeSWK: This is an utterly ubsurd situation in a climate emergency when we most need sustainable transport. Barely any, if any,… [Source]

We are retrofitting buildings, supporting rene… [Source]
10 Dec 2021 Steff Aquarone MP (@Steffanaquarone) @Ellis_Selway@ursula_juta Here in North Norfolk it's about tackling the climate emergency and at the same time investing in holistic sea defence systems to prevent our city's ringroad from becoming a coastal road (much of the land in question has incredible biodiversity and/or is AONB) [Source]
09 Dec 2021 Kim Johnson MP (@KimJohnsonMP) A call out for anyone in Liverpool Riverside considering their career. Help shape the future of #NetZero energy by doing a @nationalgriduk #Apprenticeship. They’ll help you develop your skills through study & practical work. https://ngrid.com/3qRm6J0 [Source]
07 Dec 2021 Richard Quigley MP (@RichardQuigle18) He was doing so well on the Afghanistan issue, then ruined by saying Climate change was "virtue signalling" and worse still, Dominic Raab is competent. #ToryShambles [Source]
07 Dec 2021 Tan Dhesi MP (@TanDhesi) RT @ETN_EMEA: It was great to welcome @TanDhesi to our offices to discuss what can be done to #decarbonise our cities and get ready for the… [Source]
07 Dec 2021 Tan Dhesi MP (@TanDhesi) RT @TSSAunion: ????
Rail has to be central to a low carbon economy. Cuts don't make sense! #ClimateCrisis [Source]
07 Dec 2021 Valerie Vaz MP (@Valerie_VazMP) RT @btwodo: Tonight i’ve been to the #NorthShropshire climate hustings. The path to net-zero is through exciting new opportunities and opti… [Source]
07 Dec 2021 Monica Harding MP (@monicabeharding) Shocking failure of diplomacy meaning lives were lost. Has been pointed out that diplomacy before COP26 (like the French before Paris agreement) would have meant better outcomes but no visits made to capitals in advance about COP by Raab. His focus was Brexit - always only Brexit [Source]
05 Dec 2021 Claire Hanna MP (@ClaireHanna) RT @columeastwood: Now is not the time for more ‘blah blah blah’ on climate change from Boris Johnson. We need urgent action from him and t… [Source]
04 Dec 2021 Olivia Blake MP (@_OliviaBlake) I’m absolutely delighted - & very excited! - to accept my new role as @UKLabour’s Shadow Minister for Climate Change ????
I can’t wait to champion Labour’s Green New Deal from the frontbench ✊????????& hold this Government to account on their failure to tackle the climate emergency ???? [Source]
03 Dec 2021 Dan Norris MP (@votedannorris) Delighted £50 million Green Recovery Fund I pledged in my manifesto voted through today with no-strings attached in a meeting of the West of England Combined Authority. Massive victory for the people of the West of England. We can now work in earnest to tackle climate emergency. [Source]
03 Dec 2021 Tulip Siddiq MP (@TulipSiddiq) In Parliament this week, I called on the Government to put climate change at the heart of our children's education.
Labour has announced plans for 400,000 green jobs, and it’s essential that we enable young people to develop the skills for these employment opportunities. https://x.com/TulipSiddiq/status/1466778044903923714/video/1 [Source]
2nd December 2021
02 Dec 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Britain could lead the world in the global race for green energy and a Labour government will make the necessary investment in the transition, ensuring we protect workers and communities. /4 [Source]

02 Dec 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) This is a sober warning about govt greenwash on COP26 and action here.
We are miles off where we need to be to keep 1.5 alive.
Ministers are not delivering the policies we need. They must end the climate delay and double-talk and instead deliver real action at home and abroad. https://twitter.com/guardianeco/status/1466313328540610566 [Source]
01 Dec 2021 Sarah Olney MP (@sarahjolney1) With our economic recovery in the balance & urgent Net Zero obligations to honour, it's imperative that London has a robust transport system????????
I therefore urge @transportgovuk to be bold and ambitious ahead of the next @TfL funding settlement ???? [Source]
01 Dec 2021 Claire Hanna MP (@ClaireHanna) RT @columeastwood: Finalising the text of my Climate Change bill today. Thank you to every person and organisation who contributed their in… [Source]
01 Dec 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) 1.5 degrees is on life support.
Our government has a special responsibility leading up to COP27 to put pressure on big emitters to come back with far better plans.
Australia’s 2030 target is consistent with 4 degrees of warming. The Trade Secretary must rewrite that deal. https://x.com/Ed_Miliband/status/1466059066053214210/video/1 [Source]
