25 Apr 2024 John Grady MP (@johnadgrady) Whilst the SNP, Greens and Alba knock seven bells out of each other:
???????????????????????????? People in Glasgow cannot afford the basics.
????????????????????????????We have no serious path to Net Zero.
????????????????????????????Almost 1 in 6 Scots are on NHS waiting lists.

25 Apr 2024 Chris Murray MP (@ChrisMurray2010) The first step is getting a government in Downing Street that’s serious about this. I urge everyone in this constituency who cares about the climate crisis to back Labour, so we can get started on tackling it. [Source]
25 Apr 2024 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) Today is #WorldMalariaDay.
Malaria kills one child every minute.
Climate change and insecticide resistance makes controlling this disease more challenging.
Everyone should have access to services to prevent, detect, and treat malaria, yet this is not a reality for all. https://twitter.com/GlobalFund/status/1783394260471230967 [Source]
25 Apr 2024 Olivia Blake MP (@_OliviaBlake) From climate change to deep sea mining, overfishing and pollution, our oceans are under threat like never before.
The UK must urgently ratify the Global Ocean Treaty if we are to stay on track with the global goal of protecting at least 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. https://twitter.com/GreenpeaceUK/status/1783419258002702395 [Source]

22 Apr 2024 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) I'm a proud supporter of the Climate and Nature Bill—which will put us on the path to restore nature—as part of the just transition to a cheaper, cleaner energy future. Take a look at @zerohour_uk's #EarthDay film—and sign up to back the #CANBill today. [Source]

21 Apr 2024 Layla Moran MP (@LaylaMoran) Tackling climate change is the right thing to do and has market benefits.
In the dwindling days of a govt with no ideas, Sunak's rowing back on climate ambition may be another attempt at a wedge issue. Ultimately future generations will suffer from this short-sightedness. https://twitter.com/LaylaMoran/status/1782039155179925589/video/1 [Source]
20 Apr 2024 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) Very disappointing, but I suppose if Tory MPs voted to allow raw sewage dumping to continue, they're not going to be that bothered about tackling climate change either.

18 Apr 2024 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) Ever since entering government, the Scottish Greens have traded environmentalism for nationalism.
They have missed targets, cut fuel poverty programmes and slashed a third from the housing budget.
Our climate targets are non-negotiable; the future of our planet depends on it. https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/1780657795987062847 [Source]

17 Apr 2024 Gregor Poynton MP (@gregorpoynton) Time and time again the SNP have failed to deliver on their promises.
Labour’s green prosperity plan will lower energy bills, support good jobs across Scotland, boost energy security for our country, and tackle the climate crisis.
We need change.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68841141 [Source]
17 Apr 2024 Lisa Nandy MP (@lisanandy) Good to be in Washington DC for the Spring Meetings.
I’m taking a message to our allies that with a Labour government, the UK will be a long-term, reliable partner around the world.
Only by coming together can we tackle the great challenges of debt, climate change and poverty. https://twitter.com/lisanandy/status/1780674766640177473/photo/1 [Source]
17 Apr 2024 Rupa Huq MP (@RupaHuq) My constituent did the right thing getting an electric vehicle but the cost of kerbside charging as he's not in a detached house punitive and destroying him
Minister who voted AGAINST the zero emission vehicle mandate smugly said he has a driveway
How can he be trusted? https://twitter.com/RupaHuq/status/1780594965254643739/video/1 [Source]

12 Apr 2024 Layla Moran MP (@LaylaMoran) As an organic farm, we discussed soil quality and biodiversity in farming. I was told we need to think about putting back as well as taking out.
British farmers are vital in tackling climate change and protecting the environment so they need proper funding and support. [Source]
10 Apr 2024 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) We are prioritising a number of areas, including health & social care, childcare & early years, manufacturing, utilities and work that supports achieving net zero. Our first sessions will look at social care, an area where we need more people, we also need to support them. [Source]
10 Apr 2024 Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood MP (@SorchaEastwood) Tomorrow, the All Party Group on Skills launches.
We all need skilled people- there is no such thing as unskilled work. We need to grip this issue if we are to support work in critical social infrastructure, have a thriving economy & meet climate targets. 1/ [Source]

09 Apr 2024 Claire Coutinho MP (@ClaireCoutinho) I’m concerned by the Strasbourg Court decision.
How we tackle climate change affects our economic, energy, and national security. Elected politicians are best placed to make those decisions. [Source]
09 Apr 2024 Ian Lavery MP (@IanLaveryMP) The Tories have ignored the climate crisis and the impacts of climate crisis.
While our towns and villages flood, along with our core infrastructure, they sit back and do nothing.
Our region and our planet sorely needs investment to prevent flooding and lessen its effects. https://twitter.com/chroniclelive/status/1777715165842055535 [Source]
09 Apr 2024 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) Last month was the warmest March on record.
But climate change is not just affecting our temperatures.
This landmark ruling recognises that failing to take urgent action can have serious consequences for our health.
It is a powerful reminder that governments must act now. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1777625694610112528 [Source]

05 Apr 2024 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) Our democratic institutions have been captured and run in favour of a few private interests, in this case, the fossil fuel industry.
The Charity Commission must ensure these interests do not influence the abuse of charity status to downplay the scale of the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/GoodLawProject/status/1776170218563252684 [Source]
