28 May 2023 Tom Collins MP (@tomcollinsworcs) Learning never stops. Yet people out of work can't access training to re-skill.
Climate change, digital technology and AI mean that our world is changing faster than ever.
Everyone should be able to get new skills, especially when they're out of work.

26 May 2023 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) This is great news to read on a Friday morning.

???? No new petrol or diesel cars from 2030
✈️ A 25% increase in air fares
⬇️ 14% reduction in air travel
???? 25% reduction in our consumption of meat
The poorest will feel the brunt of these mad green policies. [Source]
22 May 2023 Scott Arthur MP (@CllrScottArthur) @Alex4Craig_Dudd@BioMickWatson Mick's right, as you know no budget would have halted the work. Just like no budget had "£0" for the Climate Crisis.

[Source]
19 May 2023 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) @MarkHoldstock You're a single issue voter who wants us to pledge to do something that would (a) see Tories hold our seat, (b) not actually be possible (c) take up all the time needed to address urgent challenges like economy, NHS & net zero. And if we won't you'll use your vote against us. [Source]
18 May 2023 Tom Gordon MP (@tomgordonLD) Lib Dem colleagues & I want to see a Gov that is more ambitious when it comes to the fight against climate change.
We should be aiming to achieve net zero sooner than 2050, and we need a proper green industrial strategy so that the UK economy has a long-term plan in place. [Source]
18 May 2023 Tom Gordon MP (@tomgordonLD) Today I had the fantastic opportunity to visit Thanet Wind Farm, which when it opened was the largest offshore wind farm in the world.
It was really informative & useful to hear more about the sector, which is a key component in tackling climate change & achieving net zero. https://twitter.com/tomgordonLD/status/1659283068425830401/photo/1 [Source]

18 May 2023 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) This is really worrying. Achieving net zero asap has to be our number one priority. But the good news is, this doesn't have to hurt - Labour's plans would create a million jobs, boost the North East economy, and make us a clean-energy producer, which would also cut energy bills. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1658789006451044352 [Source]
17 May 2023 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Our country needs a Labour government to restore climate leadership. That is what we will do with our world-leading plan for zero-carbon power by 2030, an international clean power alliance and GB Energy, our publicly-owned energy company, which will cut energy bills. [Source]
17 May 2023 Chris Law MP (@ChrisLawSNP) This week is Christian Aid Week, raising awareness of the need for climate justice.
Climate change continues to affect communities in countries like Malawi hardest, bringing more erratic weather and increasing the chance of freak weather events such as droughts and floods. https://x.com/ChrisLawSNP/status/1658794450645024771/photo/1 [Source]

11 May 2023 David Chadwick MP (@LibDemDavid) The U.K. is paying the price for a government that has
1) failed to invest in renewable energy, therefore exposing us all to volatility in wholesale gas prices.
2) imposed new trade barriers just as the world was exiting covid lockdowns.
Result? Persistent inflation. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1656621550844497920 [Source]

From 1990, the UK cut emissions by 48%, decarbonising faster than any other G7 nation whilst growing the economy by 65%.
Our ambitious plan to scale-up clean power is boosting energy security and creating thousands of jobs in new industries.

The increase in floods & landslides like this is a clear result of climate change. The worst effects are often in countries like DRC that contributed the least to carbon emissions. Deeply unfair and heartbreaking https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1655612588103802881 [Source]

09 May 2023 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) Lastly, the Government was defeated in the Lords on three key points:
(1) No new coal mines!
(2) A net zero mandate for the energy regulator, Ofgem
(3) Support for small scale, community owned electricity generators. [Source]
09 May 2023 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) In our recent @CommonsBTC report on decarbonising power generation, we said there needs to be more coordination and direction setting by the state.
Competition alone won't deliver on the essential but hard to reach parts of the country that need investment. [Source]
