28 May 2024 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) Every Tory who peddles this cr*p makes my blood boil. Those who are 18 in 2025 were 13 when furlough was around.

22 May 2024 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) Climate change means we are seeing extreme weather patterns - from droughts to flooding. This demands careful water management and investment in adaptation.

17 May 2024 Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis) @NewAngliaEnergy@crisortunity We’ll be explaining how and why public ownership of water is the best option and how it can be done cost effectively. No one should be making profit from a natural monopoly as critical as water given the climate crisis. Everything should be reinvested for adaption. [Source]
17 May 2024 Richard Tice MP (@TiceRichard) This hour we are reliant on France & Denmark & Norway for 20% of our electricity; in last week it has been 16% overall
Net Zero is sending our jobs and money overseas while exposing us to risk of blackouts and foreign energy dependence
Net stupid [Source]
17 May 2024 Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) Chevron are leaving the North Sea after 55 years. The idiot Tories have overtaxed the oil sector and we will need more imports. Taxes and Net Zero policies cost jobs and revenue. Moronic. [Source]

13 May 2024 Oliver Ryan MP (@OliverRyanUK) @UKLabour@CoopParty From community ownership of renewable energy to worker ownership of businesses, @CoopParty believes in giving people a say and a stake. By becoming a Co-operative Party member as well as a Labour member, you can have your say in our policy, in our selections and in our campaigns [Source]
12 May 2024 Paul Waugh MP (@paulwaugh) But @ProfJaneGreen is also right that we should not confuse the shifting ‘tides’ of party politics with strong ‘tribal ties’’ of identity: for/against Brexit, for/against migration, for/against net zero, for/against UK foreign policy. [Source]
12 May 2024 Kirsteen Sullivan MP (@kittysull1) Good to hear from a wide range of voices yesterday, all coming together to support the campaign to #KeepGrangemouthWorking No one can afford to sit this one out - jobs (future & current), economy, UK energy security & the skilled workforce for a just transition, depend on it. https://twitter.com/labourfalkirk/status/1789325757623267681 [Source]

09 May 2024 Connor Naismith MP (@connor_naismith) It was also fascinating hear about the importance of rail freight to our economy and the important strategic role played by Crewe in the network.

08 May 2024 Alex Sobel MP (@alexsobel) I have decided to withdraw from the Politico Energy and Climate Summit next week, due to the involvement of Equinor. It was unclear that they were sponsors and I would not have accepted the invitation had their sponsorship been known. [Source]

03 May 2024 Sian Berry MP (@sianberry) A General Election has never been more urgent.
The outgoing Government has no intention of making different decisions on warmer homes, energy investment, road building or airport expansion. It must go before it tries to cancel completely the Climate Change Act it’s breaking. https://twitter.com/adambienkov/status/1786333823669518424 [Source]
