Thank to @LabourRichard for visiting @thefabians stall at #Lab2018 and telling us why he is a #Fabian
.@lisanandy @serauk rally - “Cameron hugged a husky and then banned onshore wind. @michaelgove ‘s new green rhetoric is all about maximum noise for minimum impact” #Lab2018
TUC’s @nowak_paul speaking very convincingly about just transition: “We need to work together - not trade unionists vs environmentalists, not energy workers vs climate change activists. I’ve always believed we can, and we owe it to our kids to!” @serauk #Lab2018
My old pal @AlanSimpson01 @serauk explaining the challenge “we have a ten year window open to us as a society, in which we have to reduce our emissions by half. The planet isn’t going to hang around” #Lab2018
.@RLong_Bailey @serauk #Lab2018 “green stuff is not a luxury - it’s vital to all our futures” Becky bigging up labour’s long history of environmental action, from the kinder scout mass trespass to the climate change act
.@AnnaMcMorrin @serauk rally: “We brought in the ground breaking climate change act. But we know now we must go further. Every day we fail to act takes us closer to a fate that nobody wants, a fate that will resonate down through future generations” #Lab2018
Plenty of ambitious plans in @LabourDefra env policy paper launched yesterday at #Lab2018 (60% low-carbon energy within 12 years, 4m homes insulated to EPC C in first term...) but surprised there is no mention of union-backed Million Climate Jobs campaign....
My train pulls into #Liverpool for the #Lab2018 Labour Conference and the 1st things I see are a chap wielding a paper maché war hammer, a leprechaun declaiming the end of the world, someone jumping through a ring of knives and one dressed as Optimus Prime. Well, it's different.
