Why is it we are a country that is simultaneously lying awake struggling to stay cool in yet another record-breaking heatwave, and unable to get a grip on soaring bills in freezing temperatures? No matter what the weather, things feel broken.
But North Sea drilling is STILL not the answer to our energy problems. My article for @politicshome👇🏾

As Chair of the @ClimateAPPG, it was great to meet climate and fuel poverty campaigners for a joint session on the energy crisis.
Time to shift the conversation - energy security, heating bills and action on the climate crisis aren’t in competition
There’s one clear solution:
✅clean homegrown energy

Great to chair a meeting of the @ClimateAPPG with @mgshanks, Minister for Energy
Talking Govt’s North Sea Future Plan. Managing existing oil & gas fields responsibly; delivering on Labour's commitment to not issue new licences; protecting jobs & creating jobs of the future

As Chair of , @ClimateAPPG I was pleased to host @mgshanks for a roundtable to discuss the government’s plans for the future of the North Sea.
This is a vital opportunity to deliver for workers and communities who rely on the North Sea, and to meet our climate commitments.

Grateful to the Climate APPG and MPs from all parties for the discussion on the future of energy in the North Sea.
We are determined to get the transition right and ensure the next chapter in the North Sea's energy story delivers for workers and communities across the country.
Yesterday we were delighted to host @mgshanks for a cross-party roundtable on the government's plans for the future of the North Sea.
As North Sea oil and gas reserves decline, it is vital that the transition to clean energy delivers for workers, communities and the climate.
The Climate APPG retweeted
The energy transition can deliver a brighter future for the North Sea and those who work in it. That’s why I’m really proud that the @ClimateAPPG is setting out an ambitious, transformative plan to deliver for workers while meeting our climate commitments.

This vital report highlights the need for government to make an Energy Jobs Plan to futureproof our industries. This should be an absolute priority in the spending review next week - without a plan we will continue to see livelihoods lost & skills wasted climateappg.co.uk/briefings/…

The position of Reform & the Conservatives is not to try & insulate ourselves from insecurity & reliance on Russia by rapidly growing our home-grown clean energy, but to instead bury ourselves in Putin’s warm embrace
Both unpopular and dangerous

Some key takeaways 👇

Our Chief Executive @adam_scorer spoke at @APPGClimate today. Decarbonising homes is vital for the planet and we need to ensure that fuel poor customers don't face the brunt of high costs in order to be warm, safe and healthy.
Today the Climate APPG met to discuss heating homes in a low carbon future. 💡🏘️
We were joined by Leah Robson @Your_Energy_YW, @RyanJudeGreen @GFI_green, @Mad_Gabes @nesta_uk and @adam_scorer @NEA_UKCharity.

The Conservatives’ push for Rosebank oilfield was reckless and damaging for our environment– and now it’s found to be unlawful too. Really pleased that the approval has been overturned.
This huge decision is a vital step in tackling the climate crisis— big well done to @ClimateAPPG.
Britain’s future lies in clean energy, not more oil and gas.

A fantastic night co-hosting the @ClimateAPPG reception with @andrewpakes_ & @EnvironmentAPPG. Thanks to @ELPinchbeck and @ruthdavis27 for helping to galvanise this parliament's climate and nature champions

I was pleased to attend the @ClimateAPPG + @EnvironmentAPPG event last night to celebrate the success of The Climate and Nature Leadership Programme. The UK must show much more ambition on tackling the climate crisis and I will continue to push for action in Parliament.

Yesterday, along with @ClimateAPPG, we met with MP's staffers to help them support their parliamentarian to be an environmental champion 🌎
Thanks to @ruthmchambers and @CaveTamasin for sharing your wisdom on how to make the most of parliamentary procedures and the media

Productive morning speaking to MPs about how to be effective climate communicators 💪
From channeling your inner David Attenborough to ensuring you use tangible local examples, @ClimateOutreach had excellent advice for our parliamentarians

From tackling toxic air to creating green spaces and high-quality green jobs, we’re proving that bold climate action can transform cities ✌🏾🌍
