We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by John McDonnell

• 21 Jan 2025: Tweet

  Keir Starmer recognised significance of threat of 3rd Runway to achieving our climate change targets. I can’t believe having seen the recent floods, fires & melting ice caps that he could credibly justify such a change of policy as to back a 3rd Runway now. It’s also about trust. https://twitter.com/keir_starmer/status/1233061681464532999 [Source]

  Any attempt by government to back a 3rd runway at Heathrow won’t just destroy any green credentials, it will provoke again the biggest environmental campaign this country has witnessed, making Heathrow the iconic battle ground of the climate change threat. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cre784dnq5go [Source]

• 25 Jul 2024: Tweet

  Any attempt to resurrect plans to build a 3rd runway at Heathrow will meet with huge resistance. Heathrow will become the iconic battleground of the campaign not just in UK but across Europe to prevent climate catastrophe. https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/24/heathrow-prepares-third-runway-blueprint-for-labour-amid-record-passenger-numbers [Source]

  Listening to Jeremy Hunt this morning you realise how distant the Tories are from the real world our people are living in faced with a crisis of poverty & insecurity, a crisis in our public services & an oncoming climate catastrophe. https://twitter.com/bbcpolitics/status/1726180795918798864 [Source]

  So much for tackling climate change and fairness. Cutting air passenger duty on domestic flights undermines credibility before Cop26. So much for fairness, Sunak is cutting the levy on the Bankers who caused the economic crash in 2008. [Source]
