30 Jun 2022 Claire Young MP (@ClaireforTAY) This morning I was at an #LGAConf2022 session hearing about robots & autonomous vehicles to "decarbonise the last mile", now I'm walking home to Coalpit Heath from Yate station in the rain with my luggage because @FirstBSA have cancelled the 19:09 Y1 [Source]

29 Jun 2022 Anna McMorrin MP (@AnnaMcMorrin) This Government is failing on its target to net zero as well as missing obvious opportunities to shift to better ways of doing things.
It needs to act faster and match action with rhetoric whilst investing in ways which will help those struggling with the cost of living crisis. https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1542147262280880130 [Source]
29 Jun 2022 Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) Today the UK's climate watchdog @theCCCuk slammed the Government:
❌ Policies "will not deliver net-zero"
❌ "Scant evidence of delivery"
❌No “credible” plans for over half of emissions
❌"Shocking gap" in policy on home insulation
❌Proposed Cumbria coalmine is "indefensible" [Source]

29 Jun 2022 Ruth Cadbury MP (@RuthCadbury) A damning report about the ongoing failure to make progress in reaching our net zero goals- with the Climate Change Committee warning of ‘major policy failures’ and ‘scant evidence of delivery’’.
We cannot afford more dither & delay from the Government.

29 Jun 2022 Jon Trickett MP (@jon_trickett) The Government’s own climate advisors have said our country is heading for failure in its plans to limit climate change.
This is what happens with a Conservative Government that’s in the pocket of fossil fuel companies. [Source]

29 Jun 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) Finally, we can't get to #netzero on the cheap. The govt should be investing at least £28bn a year to help us transition. And use this to upgrade our homes, flood the energy sector with renewables, and expand and transform the public transport system over the next 8 years.

29 Jun 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) One of the biggest holes in govt policy is on retrofitting our homes. It’s madness not to act on this now. It helps us meet our climate goals AND it would help millions of families struggling with the cost of living reduce their #energybills. We need a #GreatHomesUpgrade.

29 Jun 2022 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) The climate emergency is the gravest threat we face and this report is proof of the Conservatives' failure to act.
The British people are paying the price of this failure today in higher bills, and future generations will pay the price tomorrow too.

29 Jun 2022 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) The 2022 @theCCCuk progress report finds:
❌ Current government policies “will not deliver net zero”
❌ Only 8 of 50 key indicators on track, with 11 significantly off track
❌ No credible plans exist for 61% of required emissions cuts
The Conservatives are failing on climate. [Source]

28 Jun 2022 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) 1⃣ We've got to start insulating homes in the UK. It’s the best way to cut bills and tackle the climate crisis.
Insulation has plummeted under the Tories. And it's getting worse. Their latest plan is apparently to rob schools + hospitals to fund home insulation. A terrible idea https://x.com/Ed_Miliband/status/1541806056577417216/photo/1 [Source]
28 Jun 2022 Chi Onwurah MP (@ChiOnwurah) Constituents sometimes ask me what difference #climatechange will make to them - well a 30-40% in rainfall increase by 2050, warmer air holds more water so when it does rain, more rain falls in a short time - so that's more #toonmonsoon events causing chaos & costing millions. https://twitter.com/ChronicleLive/status/1541741952152096768 [Source]

27 Jun 2022 Munira Wilson MP (@munirawilson) Complete hypocrisy that Govt is giving tax breaks for fossil fuels just months after hosting the #COP26 summit where nearly 200 countries pledged to phase them out.
Any relief from #windfalltax on oil + gas profits should be for renewables investment ???? https://buff.ly/3yimDal [Source]
23 Jun 2022 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) @PooleGreen I’m not convinced about that but there is certainly a major reset needed on some areas like water & a shift on public transport to address levelling up, cost of living crisis and climate emergency [Source]
23 Jun 2022 Rishi Sunak MP (@RishiSunak) The energy sector is vital for the economy through the jobs it supports, the energy security it provides and for our transition to net zero.
It was great to speak with energy companies in Aberdeen about the future of the industry, including investment in North Sea oil & gas. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1539967884063129600/photo/1 [Source]

22 Jun 2022 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) Our railways are a critical public service and key to fighting the climate crisis.
Amongst many actions, the Govt should be:
- Ending the failed privatisation experiment, and bringing railways into public ownership - strongly supported by the public
- Expanding investment [Source]
22 Jun 2022 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) This is a call to action to everyone campaigning for action on the climate crisis and a just transition:
Join a @RMTunion picket line tomorrow if you can. This is our fight and your solidarity is needed. #RailStrikes [Source]
20 Jun 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) A co-operative owned by us, that can:
- take on customers of the providers going bust;
- act as a challenger to drive down prices, and
- invest significantly in renewable energy to lower our energy bills and emissions for the longer term.

15 Jun 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) The answer to my question was a complete abdication from the COP26 President from his responsibility to ensure commitments made last year in Glasgow are being adhered to.
