30 Dec 2022 Emma Foody MP (@efoody) Buses are the lifeblood of our communities - whether visiting family members or getting to work.
The loss of these routes makes us poorer financially, socially and is dreadful for climate change.

29 Dec 2022 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) Lastly, we need to grapple with a largely ageing & often generally unwell population, as well as climate crisis & economic stagnation. Future solutions will address all, not just one. It can be done, but it requires new thinking & genuine collaboration. Time has run out. [Source]
29 Dec 2022 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) Housing- we need more social & affordable houses that house ppl safely & provide stability for them- it helps us address climate crisis & energy problems. Create green new apprenticeships & jobs to build these homes- creating work & greener homes, healthier lives for ppl 8/ [Source]

17 Dec 2022 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) We must treat the ecological emergency with the same urgency as the climate emergency also demands.
That's why @TheGreenParty is calling for a Rights of Nature Act to extend legal protections for wildlife and habitats and a Commission for Nature to oversee the Act’s enforcement. [Source]
15 Dec 2022 Daniel Zeichner MP (@DanielZeichner) RT @LCEF_UK: Very excited to launch today with some new evidence that finds showcasing climate leadership gives Labour a boost with voters.… [Source]
14 Dec 2022 Phil Brickell MP (@Phil_Brickell) We live in an increasingly fragile world. One threatened by climate change, Russia’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine, the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan and persecution of ethnic & religious minorities, political dissidents and LGBT communities. [Source]
14 Dec 2022 Phil Brickell MP (@Phil_Brickell) Voting to breach international law would make Britain a pariah state on the world stage. And it’d undermine future efforts to work with other nations to tackle the related issues of modern slavery, people trafficking, climate change and organised crime. [Source]

The business stuff all set out in cbi speeches earlier this week. It’s all there. I can send you some dense policy documents to see the how? [Source]
08 Dec 2022 Lauren Edwards MP (@LaurenREdwards) Thankfully got a good response and I look forward to working on the climate change sub group where hopefully I can have direct input in creating such metrics [Source]
08 Dec 2022 Lauren Edwards MP (@LaurenREdwards) Also said I think it's insufficient that when assessing the ease with which people get around Medway, only one metric related to car journeys is used. We need to be tracking cycling, walking and public transport measures if we are ever to meet our climate change goals! [Source]
08 Dec 2022 Manuela Perteghella MP (@MP4Stratford) By approving a new coal mine in Cumbria in the era of the climate emergency, the first to be opened in Britain in 30 years, the Tories have shown their true colour, and it's not green.
Fossil fuel friendly and bent on destroying our planet.

08 Dec 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) The decision to go ahead with the Cumbria coalmine is a backward step that blows a hole in the government’s climate commitment. With less than a decade to take action to mitigate the worse impacts of climate change, opening mines that will need to close soon after makes no sense https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1600556209668505635 [Source]

01 Dec 2022 Paul Waugh MP (@paulwaugh) Includes this nugget: I'm told BEIS has *again* delayed the Strategy and Policy Statement (SPS) requiring Ofgem to work towards net zero.
Draft delayed until summer 2023 cos BEIS has “other priorities”. Likely implementation 2024 – a full 5 years after net zero became law. [Source]
