• 10 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  I wish to address the deeply concerning issue of rising rail fares, which are having a profound impact on my constituents in Woking and, indeed, on commuters across the country. Since 2019, the cost of a season ticket from Woking to Waterloo has increased by £773—it now stands at an astonishing £4,516. When people are struggling with the cost of living crisis, these eye-watering fare rises are not only unfair, but counterproductive. If we are serious about promoting economic growth and tackling climate change, we must make public transport an affordable and attractive option for everyone. Instead, rail travel has become a luxury that many are finding they can no longer afford, ironically risking debt to earn a living. That is not acceptable.

  We are in a climate crisis, is this the best time to increase flights at a private airport? A 40% jump in aircraft movements at Farnborough will have a big impact on people in #Woking. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-66750881.amp [Source]

  In the run-up to #COP26, the Government are being asked to stop new oil drilling in #Surrey - the UK won't be able to get other countries to take on climate change if we are oil drilling even more in the Surrey Hills! https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/uk-oil-drilling-surrey-cop26-b1941755.html#r3z-addoor [Source]

  @5tevenWilliams The Lib Dems and I want to invest in sustainable transport - just like this. We need to make walking and cycling safer and easier, after all that’s a key part of tackling climate change. Councils needs a dedicated budget for expanding green transport measures. [Source]

• 05 Dec 2019: Tweet

  I've taken @friends_earth's #ClimateActionPledge. If elected as the MP for #Woking, I'll put the climate first when I vote in parliament. We're in a #ClimateEmergency and must rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions for a greener and fairer society. https://twitter.com/friends_earth/status/1197909254277095426/photo/1 [Source]

  @Guildballgamer @JonathanLord @LibDems @Conservatives @UKLabour .. childcare from 9 months. By properly insulating homes, we can fight climate change and reduce energy bills by around £550. By stopping Brexit, we can make people’s life’s better - hope you #VoteLibDem but please feel free to ask more questions. [Source]

• 28 Nov 2019: Tweet

  The new @YouGov MRP poll makes it clear. I can beat the Conservatives in #Woking, but only if enough Labour and Green supporters lend me their vote. Together, we can #StopBrexit, invest in public services and tackle the #ClimateEmergency - #VoteTactically and #VoteLibDem! https://twitter.com/WillForster/status/1200038968345149441/photo/1 [Source]

  The Guardian recently rated every MP's record and assigned them a climate score. The Conservative MP for #Woking got just 18% - please #VoteLibDem to ensure that the #ClimateEmergency is taken seriously! #GE2019 https://twitter.com/WillForster/status/1192783868144836608/photo/1 [Source]

• 07 Nov 2019: Tweet

  The @LibDems have set out ambitious plans to tackle climate change by: ???? generating 80% of electricity from renewables by 2030 ???? insulating all low-income homes by 2025. A Lib Dem Government will deliver a bold green plan and a #BrighterFuture for #Woking! https://twitter.com/WillForster/status/1192426037772206081/photo/1 [Source]

  @JayneCBee @LibDems We are not just talking about Brexit, but Brexit helps sort out the other issues. Stopping Brexit means we can invest in public services like the NHS and schools, fight climate change and sort out issues that impact people every day. [Source]

  @lulunix @LibDems Politics isn’t just about Brexit, but we need to Stop Brexit so we can focus on other issues - like investing in the NHS, schools and trains, fighting climate change and much more. [Source]

  @ClaireEMcD That’s awful, fighting climate change and protecting the environment should be a top 3 priority for any politician. [Source]

• 05 Oct 2019: Tweet

  @lulunix @LibDems Certainty, why one of the many reasons why the Lib Dems and I want to stop Brexit is so the country can invest in public services, fight climate change and focus on other key issues. Brexit chaos is and will continue to overwhelm politics, unless it is stopped. [Source]

  @Fiona2210 I always knew getting the Conservatives and Council to declare a climate emergency would be the easy bit, it will be a lot tougher to get them to treat climate change as an emergency. Tree planting and biodiversity conservation is important in the fight against climate change. [Source]

  Frustratingly, Tories on @SurreyCouncil refuse to declare a #ClimateEmergency. We shouldn't be surprised as their party and their Government have dropped the ball on the environment - the prime example being they recently scrapped the Department for Energy and Climate Change! [Source]
