27 Dec 2023 Toby Perkins MP (@tobyperkinsmp) @StephenSherrat9 Its not the annual amount that matters @StephenSherrat9 its the amount that falls in a v short period that has changed as a result of climate change.
That’s not to say farmers can’t play a role but annual rainfall stats don’t explain the change. [Source]

26 Dec 2023 Claire Coutinho MP (@ClaireCoutinho) Britain is the first country in the G20 to halve its carbon emissions.
We are world leaders in tackling climate change.
That’s why it’s so important we make sure we’re not burdening hardworking families, but bringing them with us as we continue on our transition to Net Zero. https://twitter.com/frasernelson/status/1739591415791776028 [Source]

19 Dec 2023 Chris Law MP (@ChrisLawSNP) At a time when the UK Govt is focusing on new oil and gas licenses in Scotland, the real growth is in renewables. Climate change affects us all and tackling it urgently not only the right thing to do but where the biggest growth in jobs is coming from https://twitter.com/thesnp/status/1736780097120567769 [Source]
19 Dec 2023 John Redwood MP (@johnredwood) UK industry wants a carbon tax on imports to limit imports undercutting home production. Getting rid of the big UK taxes on domestic energy would be a better way to keep industry here. [Source]

16 Dec 2023 Andrew Gwynne MP (@GwynneMP) 📺 WATCH: COP28 was an opportunity to assert our net zero leadership on the global stage, but that was undermined by the PM's language.
I hope the Minister can have a word with Number 10, and stop these damaging headlines from having an impact on our international standing. https://twitter.com/GwynneMP/status/1735985286117544127/video/1 [Source]

14 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Can’t believe what I’m hearing. Minister yet again seeking to defend the indefensible - more UK oil & gas licences in the face of a climate emergency. #COP28 signalled once and for all that the fossil fuel era is over - it's time for this failing Govt to catch up. #StopRosebank [Source]
14 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) UK may have pledged £60m to the historic Loss & Damage Fund - but in this instance recycling isn't green! It’s taken from existing climate finance pot, which in turn comes from an already-slashed overseas aid budget. Robbing Peter to pay Paul isn’t climate justice #COP28 [Source]
14 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) As expected, Minister boasts about the UK's track record - but as per usual, forgets to mention that @theCCCuk say we are 'unlikely' to meet our 2030 climate target. Another sign of huge gap between this Govt’s rhetoric and the reality of their actions. [Source]
14 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Unbelievable to hear Climate Minister wax lyrical about signing up to #COP28 agreement on "doubling energy efficiency" - when here at home Sunak has just ditched plans to require higher energy efficiency standards for renters living in cold & damp homes. What an embarrassment. [Source]
14 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Climate Minister says it was a "privilege" to attend #COP28 in Dubai. So why on earth did he fly back to the UK at the critical point in negotiations? Putting propping up this failing Govt above the future of our planet. [Source]
14 Dec 2023 Claudia Webbe MP (@ClaudiaWebbe) RT @ClaudiaWebbe: Only if the oil and gas industry is removed from influence over the decisions made to fight climate crisis will there be… [Source]

13 Dec 2023 Philippa Whitford MP (@Dr_PhilippaW) 🌍 As #COP28 comes to an end, I am pleased to have joined 52 MPs to support #Peace, #Humanitarian relief & #Climate action in #Israel & #Palestine.
We call for a #PermanentCeasefireNOW, #HostageRelease, #HumanitarianAssistance and a genuine political #PeaceProcess. [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Tim Farron MP (@timfarron) Climate change is the biggest issue we face, and yet the Government seem more interested in winning tomorrow's headlines than securing our children's future.
We should be leading the way with a green industrial revolution, and help countries around the world decarbonise too. https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1734951661410394371/video/1 [Source]
13 Dec 2023 John Glen MP (@JohnGlenUK) Encouraging to hear a new target to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030 has been agreed at #COP28. The UK has led the way in cutting CO2 emissions and we will continue to cooperate with our global partners as we chart our course to net zero. https://twitter.com/JohnGlenUK/status/1734946383214318038/photo/1 [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Here's the crux. If Govt can argue that ploughing ahead with Rosebank, 100+ other oil & gas licences and Cumbria coal mine all count as "transitioning away from fossil fuels", then either they haven't read a word of the #COP28 text, or the text itself just isn't strong enough. [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) The UN climate talks failed to do what is needed to phase out fossil fuels.
For decades, oil and gas giants have used their vast influence to delay climate action.
That's why this week I've brought a Bill to ban MPs from receiving any funding from fossil fuel companies. #COP28 [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Only Labour can provide the climate leadership Britain needs, to:
⬇️ cut energy bills for families at home;
🏗️ grow our economy with good jobs;
🌏 step up on the world stage to protect our planet for current and future generations. [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) The defining question of the next two years in the run up to COP30 in Brazil is whether the world can now turn good words at COP28 into action to keep 1.5oc alive.
That requires a British government that will lead with the power of example, not show climate hypocrisy... [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) This COP agreement is an important moment for the world: signalling for the first time a global commitment to a transition away from fossil fuels
Yet the truth is that for the progress made, the hard maths tells us that the world remains way off track to limit warming to 1.5oc [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) What #COP28 does show is UK 'climate leadership' has gone AWOL. We still have no climate envoy, PM turned up for just 24 hours, Climate Minister abandoned talks to fly home immoral Rwanda Bill vote, & hypocrisy of UK producing new climate-wrecking oil, gas and coal is staggering. [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) However, this #COP28 text also contains some gigantic loopholes. When we needed to see decisive commitment, we got feeble encouragement. When climate justice requires that richer countries help lower-income countries with the transition, we saw little new cash on the table. [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) A COP agreement mentioning fossil fuels is long overdue - message to climate-wrecking fossil fuel industry is that their era is over. Countries now have to act on #COP28 commitment & keep fossil fuels in the ground, not phase them back in as UK Govt has so recklessly been doing🧵 [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) RT @mohadow: Here are my thoughts on the latest #COP28 text.

13 Dec 2023 Alok Sharma MP (@AlokSharma_RDG) We must unlock the finance required to support developing nations to transition their economies
And the decisions at this COP must signal the end of business-as-usual for the fossil fuel industry
#COP28
2/2 [Source]
13 Dec 2023 Alok Sharma MP (@AlokSharma_RDG) Genuine progress has been made at #COP28
Key now is if countries will deliver the rapid cuts in emissions needed to keep 1.5c alive
As delegates leave Dubai, the impassioned calls of the most climate vulnerable nations for more action should be ringing in their ears

12 Dec 2023 Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP (@BellRibeiroAddy) The climate minister called away during the vital closing stages of COP28 because the PM is scared he doesn’t have the votes to pass his unworkable deportation scheme.
Sums up the current Tory circus: too obsessed with attacking refugees to focus on the major issue of our time. https://twitter.com/PickardJE/status/1734539644446863804 [Source]

12 Dec 2023 Richard Foord MP (@RichardFoordLD) Recalling the UK's senior represenative from #COP28 so he can vote on the Rwanda plan is truly desperate stuff. It shows that the Govt has totally lost control of the situation and doesn't care about tackling climate change - which is single biggest issues facing our planet. https://twitter.com/adamvaughan_uk/status/1734530578047815871 [Source]

12 Dec 2023 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) They are weak, divided and chaotic and can’t stand up and fight for lower energy bills for the British people, can’t stand up and fight for investment into our country, and they can’t stand up and fight to provide climate leadership. [Source]
12 Dec 2023 Anna McMorrin MP (@AnnaMcMorrin) A pleasure to meet with Ju Kerexu - what an inspirational woman. Indigenous voices must be heard - thank you for sharing your story with me. Even the translator was in tears.
We must do all we can to protect communities most at risk to the dangers of the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/sizeofwales/status/1734529727551918338 [Source]
12 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Govt's last shred of moral authority in tackling #climateemergency has been obliterated. Our cowardly Climate Minister has walked away from #COP28 negotiations at the most critical moment, because the PM wants him to vote for his immoral Rwanda Deal in order to save his own skin. https://twitter.com/SamCoatesSky/status/1734523837495046458 [Source]

12 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Glad to hear the UK Govt is trying to strengthen the #COP28 text on phasing out fossil fuels. But I wonder if it’s occurred to them that they might just have a tad more moral authority if they hadn’t themselves just been phasing IN more oil & gas here at home #StopRosebank [Source]

11 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) It's now several hours since the unforgivably weak #COP28 draft text came out - which made no reference to fossil fuel phase-out at all, & leaders from France, Germany, EU, US & small island states have all widely condemned - yet still utter silence from UK Govt. Where are they?? [Source]
11 Dec 2023 George Galloway MP (@georgegalloway) The lunatic president of #Argentina who campaigned on the slogan that global-warming was a "communist lie" has just signed up to the Paris Climate Accords. We need a Referendum on Net-Zero. Only the people can be trusted on this existential threat. #NetZeroReferendum #NoUlez [Source]
11 Dec 2023 Caroline Lucas MP (@CarolineLucas) Draft #COP28 text is absolutely woeful. Offering a bunch of ways that countries "could" cut emissions is a mere shoulder shrug. Tackling the #climateemergency isn't something we "could" do, it absolutely has to happen. UK Govt should condemn this text in strongest possible terms. [Source]
11 Dec 2023 Chi Onwurah MP (@ChiOnwurah) I'm here at #COP28📷 to represent the views of constituents who have written to me about the urgent need for climate action
As discussed here with Nissan, the biggest car maker in the UK, the move to Net Zero will create good, green job opportunities for people in the North East https://twitter.com/ChiOnwurah/status/1734232753908986325/photo/1 [Source]

02 Dec 2023 Liam Byrne MP (@liambyrnemp) @WorldBank 6/. These are vital steps forward. But! Still no escalating the truth that climate finance still HAS to multiply many times older.
