  Enjoyed discussing our Green Prosperity Plan with @Ed_Miliband and renewable energy leaders.

Thanks to Greg Jackson and @OctopusEnergy for hosting our Summit. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1768946568638398917/photo/1 [Source]

• 25 May 2023: Tweet

  We must tackle climate change whilst seizing the opportunity to create jobs in future green industries in every part of Britain. Labour will work with businesses and trade unions to create great new jobs with good opportunities for all working people. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/rachel-reeves-copy-joe-bidens-30058580 [Source]

• 20 Mar 2023: Tweet

  NEW: Findings from @IPCC_CH today show we must act now to stop climate breakdown. Yet Tory Ministers face legal action over their failure on net zero targets. Labour will face up to the challenges and grab onto opportunities from tackling climate change. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/20/ipcc-climate-crisis-report-delivers-final-warning-on-15c [Source]

• 16 Mar 2023: Tweet

  I am optimistic about the future. I believe Britain has the potential to galvanise green energy and get ahead in the global race. That’s what Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan is all about. https://x.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1636405989972008960/video/1 [Source]

• 19 Jan 2023: Tweet

  Under the Tories, foreign direct investment has plummeted. Labour will decarbonise the economy, create good jobs, boost energy security & make the UK a world leader in the climate transition. With Labour in government, Britain will be open for business. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64322805 [Source]

• 13 Jan 2023: Tweet

  This underlines the Tory dither and refusal to tackle the climate crisis or boost our energy security. And it reveals the failure to grasp the opportunities for good, new jobs across Britain. Only Labour can deliver a fairer, greener future for Britain. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64257057 [Source]

• 26 Nov 2022: Tweet

  Many northern regions are most exposed to the effects of climate change. But these regions are ideally placed to lead the way in the new industries that will power our climate transition. That’s why the North plays a crucial role in Labour’s plan for a greener, fairer Britain. [Source]

• 06 Nov 2022: Tweet

  Labour will grasp the growth opportunities fighting climate change brings. That means a future of lower bills and greater energy security, of good jobs and a stronger economy, of clean air and water and a thriving planet for our children to inherit. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/05/rishi-sunak-fossil-fuel-prime-minister-in-renewable-age [Source]

• 27 Oct 2022: Tweet

  It is vital to both grow our economy and tackle climate change. Labour will do that with our Green Prosperity Plan - investing in clean energy, home insulation and good jobs across Britain, so we lead on the global stage. The Tories don’t have a clue. https://x.com/ed_miliband/status/1585675045858381824?s=46&t=f9u0KetyFTpg0sMssYYP3g [Source]

• 26 Sep 2022: Tweet

  Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan is a real plan for tackling climate change.   It is a real plan for growth.   And a real plan for levelling up. We will build a zero carbon economy – one made right here in Britain. https://x.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1574477082293260289/video/1 [Source]

• 11 Aug 2022: Tweet

  Firefighters are on the front line of the climate crisis and face the dangerous consequences of inaction. Tory leadership candidates are heading in the wrong direction. Labour will improve our resilience and ensure we meet our climate commitments. https://twitter.com/fbunational/status/1557692034214928385 [Source]

• 04 Aug 2022: Tweet

  And with our Climate Investment Pledge and plan to buy, make and sell more in Britain, a Labour government will build the strong, secure and fair economy we need. (4/4) [Source]

• 04 Aug 2022: Tweet

  Low growth economies cannot rise to meet the challenges of the future. With our Climate Investment Pledge, New Deal for Working People and plan to buy, make and sell more in Britain, Labour will deliver the strong, secure and fair growth we need. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-growth-cost-of-living-oecd-b2137472.html [Source]

• 25 Jul 2022: Tweet

  Great to discuss Labour's Climate Investment Pledge with @MetroMayorSteve today. The Liverpool city region has enormous potential with marine energy, carbon capture and storage and hydrogen. Labour will invest to decarbonise our economy and create the good jobs people deserve. https://x.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1551605349416845317/photo/1 [Source]

• 22 Jul 2022: Tweet

  When it comes to tackling climate change, the Tories are dangerously detached from reality. Labour will provide the leadership and action needed to secure our energy, create new jobs and get bills down. @Ed_Miliband and I explain how and why: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rachel-reeves-ed-miliband-tories-ditching-net-zero_uk_62da6efce4b081f3a8fe1ace [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  With a Labour government, we will tackle the climate crisis and get our economy firing on all cylinders. Labour will provide the certainty and leadership the Conservatives lack. I will play my role as Britain's first green Chancellor. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/oct/25/rishi-sunak-failing-to-spot-growth-benefits-of-greening-the-economy [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  And we'd drive forward a green energy sprint, not just to make our energy more secure and help curb the current crisis, but also to get our emissions down and get us properly on the path to net zero. https://labourlist.org/2022/03/labour-set-to-unveil-five-point-plan-for-energy-security-and-sovereignty/ [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  Here's another example. Our Climate Investment Pledge means we can green the steel industry and ensure a crucial British industry can adapt and prosper. https://inews.co.uk/news/labour-pledges-3bn-investment-in-green-steel-revolution-for-uk-manufacturers-1218557 [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  What does that mean in practice? One example is that we'd use our Climate Investment Pledge to drive forward our Warm Homes Plan. That means insulating 2 million homes a year - getting bills down by £400 every year & curbing emissions, vital for tackling rising temperatures. [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  We cannot fail this crucial challenge. And if we don't grasp the opportunities from decarbonising, we'll also miss out on building good jobs and world-leading industries of the future here in Britain. With our Climate Investment Pledge, that is what a Labour government will do. [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  If we don't face up to the climate crisis and act now, it will end up costing far more in the future. The OBR says inaction could see debt spiral to 289% of GDP. There is no more time to waste, and it’s fiscally irresponsible to do so. [Source]

• 13 Jul 2022: Tweet

  It is what our Climate Investment Pledge is about - alongside a new industrial strategy and our plans to buy, make and sell more in Britain. We'll decarbonise our economy, create good new jobs - including in former industrial towns & coastal communities. https://www.ft.com/content/619e1699-a0f7-4472-ada1-9cb478008f5f [Source]

  NEW: If we seize the opportunities of the future, we can re-energise our economy, help achieve net zero and create jobs across our country. That’s what Labour will do with our plan to secure manufacturing of electric vehicles here in Britain.

  We need more zero-emission buses, the government promised more zero-emission buses - so why are suitable British manufacturers yet to receive a single order? Labour will buy, make and sell more in Britain to get our economy firing on all cylinders. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/26/boris-johnson-promise-build-4000-zero-emission-buses-green-transport-revolution [Source]

  In the future, our Climate Investment Pledge will insulate homes, invest in renewables and nuclear, and reform our broken energy system. That's the kind of plan for prosperity and security that families want to see - not the government's sticking plaster. https://x.com/UKLabour/status/1488119883791540230/video/1 [Source]

• 30 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Northern Powerhouse Rail could have helped futureproof transport networks, tackle climate change and create good jobs. Instead the PM and Chancellor pocketed the support of those who placed their trust in them to deliver it, and then turned their backs. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/npr-downgrade-even-more-damaging-than-hs2-axe-says-rachel-reeves-3475821 [Source]

  Labour's Climate Investment Pledge will help create jobs we need - from pipe-fitters to retro-fit homes to construction managers on offshore wind farms. Meanwhile, the Conservatives chose to cut APD on short haul-flights.

  .@Ed_Miliband on #Marr showing what ambition on tackling the climate emergency looks like. Labour will make our green transition happen, we will make it happen fairly, and we will use it to drive the jobs and skills of the future we need. #COP26 [Source]

• 25 Oct 2021: Tweet

  Tackling the climate emergency presents huge challenges - but it also gives us big opportunities for economic growth. We must grasp those. The only responsible Chancellor is a green Chancellor, and that's the kind of Chancellor I would be. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/oct/25/rishi-sunak-failing-to-spot-growth-benefits-of-greening-the-economy [Source]

• 20 Oct 2021: Tweet

  We cannot be complacent with climate change or let costs from it spiral down the line. That's why Labour's Climate Investment Pledge is crucial. It won't just tackle the climate emergency, but also help us build the skills and jobs of the future we need. https://mobile.twitter.com/skynews/status/1450730418911723524?s=12 [Source]

• 19 Oct 2021: Tweet

  The Chancellor's Net Zero Review fails to rise to the climate challenge. His lack of action will make costs spiral and misses opportunities for British industries. We need fairness & ambition - both are at the heart of Labour's Climate Investment Pledge. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/sep/27/labour-promises-spend-28bn-year-tackling-climate-crisis [Source]

  Not one mention of climate, net zero or COP26 from Rishi Sunak in his speech today. https://t.co/oKbUwSwspi [Source]

• 28 Sep 2021: Tweet

  We cannot dither and delay when it comes to tackling climate breakdown. The costs will only keep building up. That's why Labour has made a Climate Investment pledge to unlock potential, create secure jobs and protect our planet for future generations. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/sep/27/labour-promises-spend-28bn-year-tackling-climate-crisis [Source]

• 27 Sep 2021: Tweet

  Our plan would incentivise business investment, especially where it helps decarbonise the economy. It's a plan that would reduce uncertainty, reward entrepreneurship, and reward local government for the great work they do to promote economic growth. [Source]

• 14 Aug 2021: Tweet

  Rishi Sunak is undermining the vital action our country needs to take to tackle climate change. He won't even publish the Treasury's Net Zero Review which was due in spring. The UK is hosting COP26, but the Tories cannot lead it with credibility. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/13/treasury-blocking-green-policies-key-to-uk-net-zero-target [Source]

  These findings from @theCCCuk are deeply concerning. Whether on social care, Northern Powerhouse Rail, or tackling #climatebreakdown - with this government, there’s a growing gap between what’s promised and what’s delivered. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/24/uk-policies-will-not-deliver-emission-cuts-pledge-says-climate-adviser [Source]

  You cannot have a climate strategy without a sustainable economic plan behind it. The Chancellor must publish the final report of his Net Zero Review. https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/net-zero-report-treasury_uk_60d1ab66e4b038d5b9ac1338 [Source]
