16th June 2025
16 Jun 2025 James McMurdock MP (@JamesReform) Utter incompetence from Labour.
The Lower Thames Crossing will pump
6,000,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Cost around £10Bn.
And cause nearly a decade of roadworks in my constituency.
You’d think given this is one of the biggest projects in the country the Treasury Minister would have the decency to know how much it will cost! [Source]
15 Jun 2025 James McMurdock MP (@JamesReform) RT @ZiaYusufUK: ???? The true cost of Net Zero policies is far greater than the £12 billion p.a in government budgets.
The NHS has insane pro… [Source]

13 Jun 2025 Adrian Ramsay MP (@AdrianRamsay) I really enjoyed speaking at the Beccles Ecology Panel last Friday.
It was a valuable discussion on the climate and the nature crisis, underscoring the urgent need to restore nature, accelerate decarbonisation, and better prepare for the impacts of the climate emergency. https://x.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1933502435558912411/photo/1 [Source]
13 Jun 2025 Ann Davies MP (@AnnBremenda) "We support green energy but it doesn't have to come at the cost of our countryside"

13 Jun 2025 Bambos Charalambous MP (@BambosMP) It was a pleasure to welcome the St Thomas More School Council to Parliament for a tour.
I sat down with the councillors & was asked questions on all things Parliament & being an MP!
Great to hear young people passionate about social issues, particularly crime & climate change. https://x.com/BambosMP/status/1933465436563386600/photo/1 [Source]

12 Jun 2025 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Great to visit St Fergus today to discuss plans for the Acorn project.
We’re backing trailblazing CCUS clusters Acorn and Viking with the funding they need to progress.
Delivering the next generation of highly-skilled, well-paid jobs in Britain’s clean energy future. https://x.com/Ed_Miliband/status/1933208845243093283/photo/1 [Source]

12 Jun 2025 Luke Murphy MP (@LukeMLabour) On Tuesday, I asked the Minister for Energy about the importance of energy security to our national security. Since Putin invaded Ukraine, energy bills have skyrocketed, due to how the Tories handcuffed our economy to volatile oil and gas markets.
The Tories have spent the last 11 months backtracking on their net zero commitments, talking down the energy infrastructure this country needs, while Labour has spent the last 11 months honouring its commitments, and taking decisive action to improve [Source]

11 Jun 2025 Heidi Alexander MP (@Heidi_Labour) We’re investing £92.8bn in the connections that matter to everyday lives, including:
????️£24bn for motorways & local roads
????£3.5bn for the TransPennine Route Upgrade
????£2.2bn in local transport improvements
????£2.6bn to decarbonise transport [Source]
11 Jun 2025 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) 3/ For energy and climate change, this settlement provides for the most significant expansion of homegrown clean energy in British history.
With these investments, we will take back control of our energy to protect family finances. [Source]
11 Jun 2025 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) 2/
✅Warm Homes Plan - upgrading 5 million homes
✅Great British Energy - taking back control of our energy
✅Acorn and Viking CCUS - the next generation of CCUS jobs
✅Sizewell C, SMRs, and Fusion - biggest nuclear building programme in a generation [Source]
11 Jun 2025 John Lamont MP (@John2Win) Taxes still sky-high, still hammering farmers, still pushing a reckless net zero agenda and still no support for oil and gas.
Change for the worse, yet again, from Labour. [Source]
11 Jun 2025 David Davis MP (@DavidDavisMP) I am pleased @vikingccs in Humberside has been backed with funding in today's Spending Review.
Investment in Carbon Capture and Storage is crucial if we are to achieve Net Zero targets.
Humberside is perfectly placed to be at the heart of this industry????????

10 Jun 2025 John Lamont MP (@John2Win) The Scottish Borders is under attack because of the net-zero-at-all-costs agenda of Labour and the SNP.
Massive pylons, solar farms, wind turbines and battery storage units threaten our countryside.
I will keep standing up for local residents and fighting against these destructive projects. [Source]
10 Jun 2025 Carla Denyer MP (@carla_denyer) RT @ClimateAPPG: Protecting our children's futures means we must end our reliance on oil + gas. But we need a plan for workers.
Our Vice C… [Source]
09 Jun 2025 Kirsteen Sullivan MP (@kittysull1) The Bathgate hub plays a central role in the UK’s journey towards Net Zero, supporting the rollout of Deposit Return Schemes and showcasing the power of local innovation in tackling national and global challenges. [Source]
08 Jun 2025 Ben Maguire MP (@BenMaguireNC) ???? Today is World Oceans Day! I have repeatedly raised the urgent threats of pollution and climate change to our beautiful Cornish coastlines and this remains a huge priority for me as MP for North Cornwall.
I was delighted to get the opportunity at the Royal Cornwall Show this year to invite the Duke of Cornwall Prince William for a surf in North Cornwall so he can see the problems of sewage dumping on our beaches firsthand.
Ocean health directly impacts our food security, coastal communi [Source]
06 Jun 2025 Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) I've published a new Bill in Parliament to make the biggest polluting companies pay for the climate action we need.
Over 30 MPs have already backed the motion I introduced this week.
Oil and gas giants made huge profits while driving climate change. It's only right they pay up. https://x.com/RichardBurgon/status/1931026460866760918/video/1 [Source]
06 Jun 2025 Michael Shanks MP (@mgshanks) Cats or dogs? Favourite singer? What's a law people don't know about? Best bit about your job? Worst bit about your job? How do we deal with climate change?
Always good to listen to and answer questions from young people - thanks to James Aiton Primary for having me in! https://x.com/mgshanks/status/1931024438889226652/photo/1 [Source]
06 Jun 2025 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) With climate change and rising antibiotic resistance, the risks skyrocket. These outbreaks are getting more frequent, more serious — and harder to control. [Source]
05 Jun 2025 Nadia Whittome MP (@NadiaWhittomeMP) With wars, rising inequality, and the far-right dominating headlines, it’s easy to forget about the urgency of the climate crisis.
But this #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's reflect on how environmental catastrophe persists and is deeply intertwined with conflict and injustice. [Source]
05 Jun 2025 Toby Perkins MP (@tobyperkinsmp) RT @CommonsEAC: The UK faces a dual crisis: not enough homes, and a climate emergency. Can we fix both? ????
On Committee Corridor Episode 4,… [Source]
05 Jun 2025 James Cleverly MP (@JamesCleverly) I criticised other political parties for being Luddites and said that the UK had always succeeded by being innovative and we should continue doing that.
There was not one word about Net Zero.
But the reporting of the speech (before I even gave it) spoke of little else. [Source]
05 Jun 2025 James Cleverly MP (@JamesCleverly) ????Fake News????
If journalists don’t want politicians to say that, they should stop doing it!
Yesterday I gave a speech that had no mention of Net Zero.
Not one.
But the press coverage would lead you to believe the opposite.
A ???? [Source]
04 Jun 2025 Pippa Heylings MP (@pippaheylings) RT @UK100_: ???? Applications now open for UK100’s Climate Leadership Academy!
This programme is offered to councillors in positions of power… [Source]
04 Jun 2025 Heidi Alexander MP (@Heidi_Labour) We're putting our money where our mouth is, supporting better buses, trams & rail services in city regions.

????Extending Tyne & Wear Metro
???? Rapid Transit links in Liverpool
????Zero emission Bee Network for Mcr
????New tram route to East Birmingham https://x.com/Heidi_Labour/status/1930246848498802822/video/1 [Source]
04 Jun 2025 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) Great British Energy is bringing public ownership back. But we want to go further.
Because the climate crisis isn’t just about how we generate power — it’s about who owns it, and who benefits. [Source]
02 Jun 2025 Nick Timothy MP (@NJ_Timothy) Yet more net zero insanity.
Billions in subsidies for Drax to import millions of trees to burn.
To give us energy twice the price of gas.
Ludicrously, debating the law to introduce the subsidy, I was told I wasn’t allowed to name the company receiving it.
My speech tonight: https://x.com/NJ_Timothy/status/1929638324370870714/video/1 [Source]
02 Jun 2025 Joe Powell MP (@josephpowell) Excited to share good news for our Moroccan community in Kensington & Bayswater.
The UK has signed a historic new partnership with Morocco to deepen ties between our two nations —supporting Morocco's Western Sahara autonomy plan and creating new opportunities in trade, green energy & sport, incl. the 2030 World Cup which I know many will be cheering on from Kensington and Bayswater.
As Chair of @LFMorocco, I’m proud to champion this relationship & support our thriving local Moroccan commun [Source]
02 Jun 2025 Nick Timothy MP (@NJ_Timothy) Unrealistic net zero goals exist across the public sector, increasing taxpayer costs.
This story demonstrates the absurdity of forcing electrification on the whole economy.
It’s a massive misallocation of capital and a diversion from what companies and services are there to do. [Source]
02 Jun 2025 Claire Coutinho MP (@ClaireCoutinho) The CEO of Drax called me ‘reckless and irresponsible’ when I withdrew our support for this programme, but burning trees in the name of climate change is mad.
Especially as their future plans for carbon capture will add tens and tens of billions of pounds to people’s bills. [Source]
01 Jun 2025 Kevin Hollinrake MP (@kevinhollinrake) @grok
Renewables in the UK are primarily funded through a combination of consumer bills and government subsidies, rather than direct taxation. Here's a breakdown:
1. **Consumer Bills**: A significant portion of the funding for renewables comes from consumer energy bills. This is often facilitated through mechanisms like the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs), which were schemes designed to incentivize the generation of renewable energy. Under these schemes, energy suppliers [Source]
