29 Jan 2022 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) @jennykathrynb@Michael4MDNP I am also fairly sure the drop to 5-day isolation is a clever bit of PR. Makes it look like they are helping but so far haven't found anyone who has tested -ive on day 5 ! Still not aware of Hepa filters or CO2 monitors fitted in our schools either! [Source]
29 Jan 2022 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) @1pie3 I actually raised @SolarTogetherUK at the Climate Scrutiny Meeting a few weeks ago. Its a no brainer & the new Climate Change manager said he would consider it, I will keep the pressure up. [Source]
29 Jan 2022 Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) @JustineBrian People vote to their advantage- understandably. That’s why we have greater state investment in pensions than climate change [Source]

27 Jan 2022 James MacCleary MP (@JamesMacCleary) Half a million of taxpayer pounds to avoid the agony of first class on a scheduled flight! Better still it resulted in the appalling trade deal with Australia. An indefensible indulgence and waste of taxpayers money, not to mention a total disregard for the climate emergency. https://twitter.com/PickardJE/status/1486678343911194630 [Source]

21 Jan 2022 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) The ink on #COP26 isn't even dry and this Government is paving the way for oil exploration.
Instead of deepening our fossil fuel addiction we should invest in renewables and home insulation, ensuring those on low to median incomes are first to benefit.

20 Jan 2022 John Slinger MP (@JohnSlinger) Brill from @InstituteGC TB on #wato & speech today about the need for ideas/policy on how UK can harness the 3 important revolutions that we face: Brexit, climate change, & a technology revolution.
As ever TB is thinking of the big picture, long-term & communicating it clearly [Source]
20 Jan 2022 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) 1. The current trajectory - we pay lip service to decarbonisation and watch as our energy infrastructure crumbles from lack of investment and millions struggle as global fossil fuel energy markets remain in turmoil.
This is happening now. [Source]

19 Jan 2022 Olivia Blake MP (@_OliviaBlake) Very worrying that the Government have seemingly published their #netzero strategy without any understanding of how far individual polices will help reduce emissions or meet vital targets.

14 Jan 2022 Peter Lamb MP (@CllrPetesTweets) @JoshuaPowling In my experience, pretty much all residents love trees, but many don't want them anywhere near their house because sweeping up leaves poses a bigger threat to their wellbeing than climate change. [Source]

12 Jan 2022 Rebecca Long-Bailey MP (@RLong_Bailey) Businesses want to address the climate crisis & improve our air quality, but Gov must assist GMCA by allowing a delay to the scheme, and deliver a financial package that supports businesses and protects the residents of GM from bearing the crippling costs of this Gov scheme.

"This split of net zero from business shows I’m afraid that Labour isn’t serious about the energy crisis..." [Source]
10 Jan 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) But to truly get a grip on the #EnergyCrisis, the government must also reduce its reliance on #fossilfuel markets by boosting domestic #renewableenergy production, and tackling the energy market monopoly.

08 Jan 2022 Alison Bennett MP (@AlisonEBennett) I read this at the start of the week and it's been on my mind since
I would like it not to be true, but it chimes with conversations I had over Christmas with Con-leaning family + friends. I think there probably is a large pool of net zero scepticism ready to be exploited ???? https://twitter.com/redhistorian/status/1477746310430212100 [Source]

07 Jan 2022 Jack Abbott MP (@jackabbott90) You would think that providing investment and stimulus that provides jobs and growth, eases the cost of living crisis AND tackles climate change would be at the heart of the Conservative's 'levelling up' agenda. A combination of economic, social and environmental benefits. [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Jack Abbott MP (@jackabbott90) There are obviously a range of policies the Government needs to pursue to get to #NetZero, but the quicker we help people transition to renewables and clean tech in their own homes, the better they will be protected against volatile fossil fuel spikes. [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Jack Abbott MP (@jackabbott90) In the longer term it would be an absolute disaster to curtail the energy transition, as Hunt seems to suggest, and continue our overreliance on fossil fuels which has largely got us in this mess. It's not just an environmental imperative to move to #NetZero, but an economic one. [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Jack Abbott MP (@jackabbott90) *There are of course many other factors putting pressure on the cost of living, but energy prices/climate change is my main focus here. [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Jack Abbott MP (@jackabbott90) Seeing Tom Hunt emerge as a climate change sceptic doesn't come as a huge surprise.
As ever he is detail light and seems to think climate is mutually exclusive to the economy.
At the risk of being accused of being in the 'North London bubble', I've got some thoughts below ???? https://twitter.com/ipswichstar24/status/1479359041679753216 [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) But Climate Change is already causing/exacerbating conflicts, and this will get much much worse, in just a few short years (say twenty or thirty).
What's the plan? [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) I have to say - I don't see the wholescale policy effort required for a crisis of this magnitude.
I mean finally we are slowly getting our act together on net zero, decarbonisation etc. [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) Partly this is because of the aforementioned stuff - being poor with a rubbish government makes it hard to adapt to the tidal wave of changes that climate change brings [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) Now - EVERY SINGLE one of the Sahel countries - from west to east - is engaged in some sort of conflict. And every single one of them is being exacerbated by desertification, water use, land use, agricultural collapse, flash flooding:
Basically the effects of Climate Change [Source]
07 Jan 2022 Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) There is an absolute disaster waiting to happen over the next twenty years. A thread on climate change and conflict. [Source]
6th January 2022
06 Jan 2022 Tan Dhesi MP (@TanDhesi) #Rail is central to addressing crippling regional inequality and building a #NetZero transport system that’s both affordable and convenient.
The Conservatives have failed to deliver on this vision, it’s clear only Labour would build a transport system fit for the 21st Century. https://x.com/TanDhesi/status/1479079852921794565/photo/1 [Source]
06 Jan 2022 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) The Chancellor has always been reluctant to step up to the net zero challenge but a failure to do so now will result in a cost of living crisis for many families, more energy company failures and extra pressure on inflation and national debt repayments. [Source]
5th January 2022
05 Jan 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) We are in a climate emergency. We know the fossil fuel industry needs to be phased out. The Govt needs to set an end date for subsidising the fossil fuel industry. If we are serious about tackling climate change we need to make sure that our energy is coming from renewables https://x.com/Wera_Hobhouse/status/1478818591600525317/video/1 [Source]
05 Jan 2022 Matt Western MP (@MattWestern_) Instead of one million net-zero homes promised by the last Labour govt, we got a Developers' Charter from the Coalition.
Since, developers have pumped money into the Conservative Party and communities have lost out with new home owners paying the price.
Enough is enough. https://x.com/MattWestern_/status/1478779567544410117/video/1 [Source]
