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.

27 May 2023 Andrew Bowie MP (@AndrewBowie_MP) ???? - New energy infrastructure is needed to meet our net zero ambitions and become more energy independent
- But this must be built with consent and those responsible must meaningfully engage with communities affected
- This has not been the case across the North East of Scotland [Source]
26 May 2023 Max Wilkinson MP (@mpmwilko) This is great news to read on a Friday morning. Cheltenham's pioneering supplementary planning document on Climate Change, which began life when we setup the new climate team back in 2021, will certainly help support this scheme and much more in future. ????????⚽️ [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.
Nonsense like this is what Cammy was referring to in his article, and may be why your group blocked your leadership aspirations. [Source]

19 May 2023 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) @3rdposLD ...Even if they did accept us, the whole process would take years and suck up all the parliamentary time and energy needed to address climate crisis, cost of living crisis, NHS crisis, mental health, child care, school budgets, crime and more.... [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]

Time is running out. Our politicians really need to get a grip and step up! 2/2 [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]
16 May 2023 Andrew Bowie MP (@AndrewBowie_MP) ☢️ A majority of Scots back new nuclear to help us get to net zero!
???? A pity then that the SNP and anti growth Greens are preventing new nuclear investment (and new high skilled high wage jobs) coming to Scotland.

???? Tory MP says John Lennon and "paganism" to blame for UK decline [Source]
12 May 2023 Blair McDougall MP (@blairmcdougall) Stil, chartering a private vessel rather than taking the public transport they have left in crisis doesn't quite top the time they went to the global climate change summit to argue for oil extraction against Greenpeace. [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]
10 May 2023 Anna Turley MP (@annaturley) @67_mjm@ChrisGarbutt27@JulieElliottMP What kind of ‘partnership’ gives 90% of a site away for nothing so they can reap the profit? I’ve always championed green investment there from CCS to hydrogen. But companies won’t invest if they think things aren’t above board. We aren’t the only ones with concerns as you’ll see [Source]

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]

We need to prepare for extreme weather & also play our part to prevent more damage, urgently!
