30 Jun 2023 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) It is a damning indictment that a minister is so “horrified” by the government's climate strategy to the point of resignation.
While I rarely agree with Conservative parliamentarians, one thing is clear: “you, Prime Minister, are simply uninterested” in the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/ZacGoldsmith/status/1674687701834932227 [Source]
30 Jun 2023 Rushanara Ali MP (@rushanaraali) RT @DavidLammy: Zac Goldsmith's resignation statement is damning. Labour's Foreign Office will restore the UK's climate leadership by pushi… [Source]
30 Jun 2023 Anna Dixon MP (@annalouisedixon) Stinging attack from Tory minister on the PM’s lack of leadership on tackling the climate crisis
‘the UK has visibly stepped off the world stage and withdrawn our leadership on climate and nature …The problem is … that you, our prime minister, are simply uninterested’ https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1674723398381973505 [Source]
30 Jun 2023 David Lammy MP (@DavidLammy) Zac Goldsmith's resignation statement is damning. Labour's Foreign Office will restore the UK's climate leadership by pushing to make climate action the UN's 4th pillar, creating a clean power alliance, a new law of ecocide and reversing the Tories' sacking of the climate envoy. https://twitter.com/ZacGoldsmith/status/1674687701834932227 [Source]
30 Jun 2023 Tom Rutland MP (@tomrutland) I am a big supporter of the UK reaping the rewards of leading the world to Net Zero.
JSO are some of the worst campaigners I’ve ever seen. They win over no-one. They alienate potential allies. They claim credit for the wins of hard, thoughtful campaigning work by others. https://twitter.com/JustStop_Oil/status/1674478849692692480 [Source]
29th June 2023
29 Jun 2023 Andy McDonald MP (@AndyMcDonaldMP) It’s vital that we seize this chance to make our massive contribution to achieving net zero by embracing the new & emerging green industries and renewable energy generation, and at the same time, deliver well paid, secure & unionised employment for the workers of our region. [Source]
28 Jun 2023 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) @TanglewoodSteve@MrsA4boys@LikeEngineer@RobertSyms Yes it’s clear they feel the government has not kept up the pace. I wonder if this is because there is an election and they are mistakenly thinking that the public do not care about climate change. Haven’t had a chance to read it yet I’ll give it a try at the weekend [Source]
28 Jun 2023 Jonathan Reynolds MP (@jreynoldsMP) RT @alextomo: Politics is what happens between a promise and delivery. The govt’s own climate advisors are scathing across the board about… [Source]
28 Jun 2023 Olivia Blake MP (@_OliviaBlake) The day after the 4th anniversary of the UK setting netzero in law, & on the morning of the damning CCC report, the Government is still refusing to rule out opening a new oil field.
Rosebank won't reduce bills or ensure energy security.
It will only speed up climate catastrophe https://x.com/_OliviaBlake/status/1674064443385466880/video/1 [Source]

✅ Boost investme… [Source]
27 Jun 2023 Tim Farron MP (@timfarron) To help people and families with soaring energy bills, and to tackle the climate emergency, we desperately need to make homes become more energy efficient.
But the Government's new scheme which is designed to help deliver this, does not cover the huge and rising costs that exist https://x.com/timfarron/status/1673778566679461896/video/1 [Source]
23 Jun 2023 Liam Byrne MP (@liambyrnemp) 1/.
So #RishiSunak chose to hobnob with billionaires rather than help fix poverty & climate change
This is an abdication of leadership.
That's why I'm moving my 'Bridgetown Bill' in the House of Commons next Wednesday to force ministers to step up and lead global action https://twitter.com/romilly_bond/status/1672207336172146689 [Source]

20 Jun 2023 Heidi Alexander MP (@Heidi_Labour) @Muze044 The key is to get the economy growing so that we can invest in genuine town centre regeneration programmes, leisure facilities & attract good quality jobs to the town. We need a new government partnership with business to get sustained growth, whilst working towards net zero. [Source]
20 Jun 2023 Olivia Blake MP (@_OliviaBlake) RT @Ed_Miliband: Labour's Green Prosperity Plan is about lower bills, good jobs, energy security, and climate leadership.

20 Jun 2023 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) Insulating homes is a necessary step toward spending less on energy and reaching net-zero.
The #BrightGreenHomes scheme is a great way to start saving energy.

20 Jun 2023 Chi Onwurah MP (@ChiOnwurah) RT @RoyalSocBio: We are facing climate change, and the need for a net zero economy. We need to inspire young people, and to show them that… [Source]
20 Jun 2023 Euan Stainbank MP (@Euan4FKSouth) Scotland misses its target for cutting greenhouse gases with domestic transport the largest emitter.
If the SG want to reduce individual car miles they must match this with the proper resources to allow public transport to properly serve our people.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65960717 [Source]
19 Jun 2023 Andrew Bowie MP (@AndrewBowie_MP) New nuclear has a crucial role to play as we seek to transition to #NetZero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. I'm the only technology that is currently proven, and it can be deployed on a sufficiently large scale to provide continuous, reliable & low carbon electricity. ???? ⚡️ [Source]

19 Jun 2023 Luke Murphy MP (@LukeMLabour) Keir setting out Labour’s mission for UK to be a clean energy superpower will tackle twin threats of climate crisis & energy security
He & all other speakers have also said v clearly this will be a jobs first transition, a just transition, w workers & communities at its heart https://twitter.com/LukeMLabour/status/1670728206876377090/photo/1 [Source]
19 Jun 2023 Ruth Cadbury MP (@RuthCadbury) The climate crisis is a huge challenge & one that needs urgent action.
A Labour Government would tackle this crisis by making the UK a clean energy superpower; with a publicly owned GB energy, a national program of home insultation & an expansion of green energy such as wind. https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1670680310282076160 [Source]
19 Jun 2023 Liz Saville Roberts MP (@LSRPlaid) Keir Starmer is today claiming he’s leading the way on green energy
What he won’t say is that he’s just ditched his £28bn green jobs pledge

15 Jun 2023 Jeevun Sandher MP (@JeevunSandher) 3) Building & promoting our own Net Zero industries for export means that we can help reduce carbon emissions at home *and* abroad
While deepening trade links with our allies will also help us to secure the key imports we'll need for our future prosperity
(10/10) [Source]
13 Jun 2023 Kerry McCarthy MP (@KerryMP) Breaking climate promise after climate promise, and allowing Britain to fall behind in the global race for green investment by failing to respond to Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. It’s time for change. A Labour Government is the only route to reaching our net zero targets. 3/3 https://twitter.com/KerryMP/status/1668590971896975360 [Source]

13 Jun 2023 David Lammy MP (@DavidLammy) Our allies in the US the EU Australia and Germany have all entered the global race to reach net zero and create the jobs of the future.
But Grant Shapps recently described the US Inflation Reduction Act as ‘dangerous’.
Britain cannot fall behind its international partners. https://x.com/DavidLammy/status/1668583595684900867/video/1 [Source]
13 Jun 2023 Harriet Cross MP (@Harriet4Gor_Buc) ????Businesses & communities in the North East know the Oil & Gas and Energy industry inside out

10 Jun 2023 Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) People can't afford to feed their kids. Wages are falling. Mortgage costs and rents soaring. While the climate crisis is hitting ever harder.
This is what our politics should be focused on. Instead we get another Tory soap opera.
The sooner we can kick them all out the better. [Source]
10 Jun 2023 Simon Opher MP (@SimonforStroud) Great reception in Arlingham this week.
People are worried about:
????climate change
????the cost of living
????????????????broken society
The Tories offer soap opera politics & a government unable to tackle the crises which they helped create.
It's time for change????
We need #GeneralElectionNow????️ https://twitter.com/SimonforStroud/status/1667573411957075968/photo/1 [Source]
10 Jun 2023 Andrew Griffith MP (@griffitha) @ChiArunGreen As it happens, all these companies have ambitious Net Zero transition targets in place. And provide employment for millions of Brits. But it's not 'either/or' big or small companies, it is BOTH. Small companies sell their produce to larger ones. [Source]
10 Jun 2023 Simon Opher MP (@SimonforStroud) There doesn’t need be any cost to getting to 100% green energy. Remove the bans (real and de facto) on onshore wind/solar developments, tidy planning criteria & level the playing field - industry will do the rest. Which, of course, could be happening now.

09 Jun 2023 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) The figure also includes £12bn toward renewables and £14bn toward rail, walking and cycling.
Labour's fickle response to the climate crisis shows more than ever why we need more Green MPs elected at the next General Election.

09 Jun 2023 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) Our pledges are based on what's needed to tackle the joint climate and cost of living crises. The numbers need to add up both for the climate and the budget.
We have pledged to invest ~£100bn/year for 10 years to decarbonise our economy, including £25bn on home insulation. [Source]
09 Jun 2023 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) It's true that the Conservatives have damaged our economy, but we're in a climate emergency, seeing environmental breakdown at an alarming rate, so this is no time for Labour to roll back their pledge to invest in the green industries that provide the jobs we need for the future. [Source]
09 Jun 2023 Feryal Clark MP (@FeryalClark) Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan is bold, brave and essential to transform our economy and meet our climate goals.
It will create better jobs, energy security & a brighter future.
The Tories don’t have a plan.
They are reckless, fiscally irresponsible and out of touch. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1667073342765973504 [Source]

09 Jun 2023 Peter Kyle MP (@peterkyle) Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan will deliver the transformation our economy needs whilst meeting our net-zero ambitions.
Voters need to know that, unlike the Tories, we’ll run the economy responsibly too.
That’s why our plan will be built on the rock of fiscal responsibility. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1667073342765973504 [Source]
09 Jun 2023 Dan Tomlinson MP (@Dan4Barnet) Anyone who thought that Labour should spend £28bn of "new" money in Year 1 of a Labour govt on the net zero agenda has clearly never been near government, policy making, delivery or procurement.
Common sense to commit to increase investment to that target over time. [Source]
07 Jun 2023 Alex Norris MP (@AlexNorrisNN) RT @PaddyTipping: The climate emergency is real and we need action ????

05 Jun 2023 Kerry McCarthy MP (@KerryMP) Busy day today. Now in the Chamber for a debate on Reaching Net Zero: Local Government Role. I’ll be replying for Labour. Currently Sammy Wilson (DUP) is doing his climate denier routine. [Source]
05 Jun 2023 Taiwo Owatemi MP (@TaiwoOwatemi) ????@UKLabour recognises the central role local government will play in achieving net-zero, including delivering our Warm Homes Plan and slashing energy bills for millions.
With more financial autonomy and longer-term funding settlements, we will empower local leaders to deliver. [Source]
05 Jun 2023 Karin Smyth MP (@karinsmyth) We cannot afford to miss our climate change targets. Britain must act now to become the international leader in green technology: delivering the modern growing economy we need.
On #WorldEnvironmentDay I pledge to do all I can to deliver a cleaner, greener #BristolSouth. https://x.com/karinsmyth/status/1665629534731763713/photo/1 [Source]
04 Jun 2023 Andrew Lewin MP (@Andrew_Lewin_) A very clear message from @jreynoldsMP on #Ridge.
"New licenses for North Sea Oil will cost huge amounts of public money and be a disaster for the climate."
The opportunity lies in accelerating the transition to Net Zero and creating new green jobs. [Source]
