27 Apr 2023 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) Thanks to everyone who’s supported our work over the past few years.
We’ve worked on COP26, the energy crisis, support for customers and the big policy challenges of decarbonising our heating and electricity in the UK.
Our last report, on power decarbonisation is out tomorrow. [Source]
27 Apr 2023 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) The #climatecrisis is a clear example of the failure of political institutions to govern in the interests of the progressive majority
It’s a democratic crisis writ large
The fight for #PR must evolve to stop the planet wreckers whove an upper hand through our minority rule system [Source]
27 Apr 2023 Pippa Heylings MP (@pippaheylings) There is huge public support for climate action locally. What is lacking is clarity from central government about how to reach Net Zero within a national framework with clear role for local govt and a stop to short-term, competitive pots of funding. Key to accelerate transition https://twitter.com/EnergyUKcomms/status/1651501365686947842 [Source]
26 Apr 2023 Graham Stuart MP (@grahamstuart) 6) As recognised by the @theCCCuk, our transition to low-carbon energy cannot happen overnight.
That’s why this government is laying the foundations for a cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy future that will support families and businesses from this generation to the next. [Source]
24 Apr 2023 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) @BcpLocal I really hope people do not think this is a party wanting to protect the heritage in our communities. They also do not believe in climate change, would ban 5G, get rid of LGBTQ rights & generally take us backwards! [Source]

20 Apr 2023 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) It's appalling that this Government is dragging its feet on renewable energy investment while the rest of the world is taking bold and necessary action.
The UK needs to get competitive. If it doesn't, we risk going from being dependent on one authoritarian state to another???? https://x.com/Wera_Hobhouse/status/1649039549610205184/video/1 [Source]

18 Apr 2023 Graham Stuart MP (@grahamstuart) Productive discussion with @EdwardHobartCG today focusing on the UK’s priorities for #COP28.
We will work with the UAE to accelerate the clean energy transition and ensure a successful #GlobalStocktake. This is what the Glasgow Climate Pact calls for ???????????????????? [Source]
18 Apr 2023 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) ????Carbon capture utilisation and storage is important to help us reach net zero.
But it should not be a fig leaf to allow unfettered continuation of fossil fuels.
Why did the Minister not set out his net-zero requirements for awarding public investment into CCUS projects????? https://x.com/Wera_Hobhouse/status/1648298112958574593/video/1 [Source]

17 Apr 2023 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) Shameful to see yet another example of the devastating impact of climate change on our natural world.
It is not a far away phenomenon, It is right here. The UK is one of the most nature depleted nations in the world.
Yet Government is lagging dangerously behind on fixing it. https://twitter.com/guardiannews/status/1647908806725365760 [Source]

We’re NOWHERE near the level of climate finance we need.
Richer countries want to squeeze more from existing balance sheets. That’s the right place to start. But it’s not enough.

15 Apr 2023 Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) @SebastianEPayne@TomTugendhat@JamesKanag It’s not only that people (the general public) don’t know who is accountable for what, but that complimentary powers are held at different levels (parking - borough; buses - county) so if you are trying to solve big problems (climate change) it’s next to impossible.

13 Apr 2023 Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) @aidanskinner I know. A few years ago the Lib Dem’s outflanked us on some climate emergency stuff because they wanted a fixed date for net 0 and we took the estimation that without clear government action on decommissioning drax we couldn’t with integrity claim our power would be renewable [Source]
13 Apr 2023 Dave Doogan MP (@DaveDooganSNP) ???? Angus is yet again at the forefront of efforts to transition to renewable energy - with the world's deepest wind turbine installed off the Angus coast!

06 Apr 2023 Gregor Poynton MP (@gregorpoynton) Tory govt inaction means we’re lagging behind whilst other European countries are championing the transition to green steel.
We need a strong steel industry for a resilient economy, to deliver net zero, & to keep highly skilled & unionised jobs in places that really need them. https://twitter.com/EdConwaySky/status/1643972629114806273 [Source]
