Vice Chair of the APPG @pippaheylings.bsky.social took the case for electrification to @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social in Parliament today. Our members know that the best way to bring down energy bills is to get off fossil fuels 🛢️🚫
The Tories love wrapping themselves in the flag, but there's nothing patriotic about scrapping the Climate Change Act, Natural England and the Environment Agency. After this summer's wildfires, that's reckless. I'll fight it every step of the way.
The first photo I took at conference summed it up in the end @pippaheylings.bsky.social and David Howarth capturing the mix of excitement, energy, but also deep problem solving that still needs to happen if we’re to have a chance at fixing politics for everyone @socialliberalforum.bsky.social
Ed Davey has just announced a tax cut for working people that would put £680 a year back in your pocket! We'll raise the personal allowance and the 40% threshold, giving low- and middle-earners the pay rise they deserve. I'll be pushing hard in Parliament to make it happen.
Last night Patrick Stillman launched his campaign in Holborn & St Pancras. Patrick and the Liberal Democrats will show voters in Camden what a committed local champion really looks like.
A review by the National Audit Office (NAO) of the UK’s planned electricity transmission network upgrades has found that the work, estimated by Ofgem to require £70bn of investment, will be “very challenging” to deliver.

Read about LDNC's energy and climate tour with @pippaheylings.bsky.social and The Big Shift Bureau this summer, and why a new form of political leadership is needed from Westminster with cross-party talks to prepare the country for climate change.

👏 👏 The Conservatives have traded conservation for a scorched earth policy

UK inflation, driven by a 4-year high in gas prices. The Conservatives' response? More gas, scrap renewables. That puts them alongside Trump and Iran as the only nations with no climate targets. Meanwhile gas prices, heatwaves, wildfires and food shortages crush people and the economy.
