Positive green ambitions from the panel. [Source]
15 Oct 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) Appalling acts of vandalism like this completely discredit the campaign to get to #NetZero
Don’t you guys understand? Your so-called activism is totally counterproductive to persuading people, institutions and politicians that #ClimateChange is no joke.
Stop your stupidity. https://twitter.com/damiengayle/status/1580864210741133312 [Source]
14 Oct 2022 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) @has_many_books Yeah, but I have conversations about the environment all the time and I'm campaigning for net zero, by electing a Labour government to invest in green energy and consuming responsibly. Vandalism hasn't and won't make a difference [Source]

12 Oct 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) The government has agreed to introduce a windfall tax, but only for renewable energy.

12 Oct 2022 Calum Miller MP (@CalumMillerLD) Investment zones are not the right choice for Oxfordshire. There is already very significant growth planned through commitments made by the previous administration. We will focus on delivering those, while addressing climate change and tackling inequality. https://news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/investment-zones/ [Source]
12 Oct 2022 Zöe Franklin MP (@ZoeFranklinLD) @Wera_Hobhouse closing with the important remind that “the cost of the climate emergency should not fall on the shoulders of those who can least afford it”. [Source]
12 Oct 2022 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) @IainCMcIntosh The Conservatives have been in power for the last 12 years. During that time they’ve closed our gas storage facilities, reducing our gas reserves, and cancelled the Swansea Tidal Bay Lagoon - a potential source of clean green energy. That’s the price of Conservative complacency. [Source]
11 Oct 2022 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) *shakes head* - is there anything this government is going to get right?
Can someone please get an accessible list of their donors so we can plot which other policies will be dumped.

08 Oct 2022 Steff Aquarone MP (@Steffanaquarone) An offshore ring main would take this new, green energy round the coast and into the heart of the grid where it's needed. Sunak supposed it. Truss has been silent. And MP @duncancbaker has chosen to back oil and gas expansion instead. Enough!! (3/3) [Source]
08 Oct 2022 Steff Aquarone MP (@Steffanaquarone) We are blessed with fantastic opportunities to develop sustainable, green energy from wind, tidal, and more. But the current system means this will involve carving an 80m cable corridor through the countryside for every development, without end. (2/3) [Source]

07 Oct 2022 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) The most effective and sustainable way to ensure energy security is to invest in insulating houses and massively ramping up renewable energy. New oil and gas exploration is an expensive and dangerous road to planetary destruction. [Source]
07 Oct 2022 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Energy Agency and the United Nations have each warned there can be no new fossil fuel projects if there is to be any chance of keeping global temperature rises under 1.5 degrees. [Source]
07 Oct 2022 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) Deeply distressing to see news of new round of oil & gas exploration.
The Govt’s claim that burning ever more fossil fuels will help UK meet its obligations to become net zero has no connection to reality - we truly have stepped through the Looking Glass

07 Oct 2022 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) @paulwill318 Direct investment in green tech, renewable energy, insulation, health prevention/promotion of healthy living etc means a) lots of jobs = more tax receipts b) climate action and c) healthier/happier people = less pressure on health services = lower costs.
Seems to me like a win [Source]
06 Oct 2022 Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) Is a referendum on net zero such a bad idea?
It is essentially overturning how our country operates. A proper democratic mandate is required. [Source]

03 Oct 2022 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) P.S. This is not a growth plan
A growth plan would be backing British industry with Labour's sovereign wealth fund to make Britain a green energy super-power; abolishing business rates; better trading deals with Europe & the world; and putting more money into the hands of workers [Source]
03 Oct 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) Cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires has never driven growth. Investing in the industries of the future has.
Now, the Chancellor can create growth by investing in green solutions: tackling our economic crisis and #climatecrisis at the same time.

01 Oct 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) So the King was not told to stay away from the Climate Summit but ‘acted on advice’.
That’s subtle, but very much clarifies the issue.
PM doesn’t want the King to attend a conference which addresses the biggest topic the world faces. We get it.
