This #Labour Government is renewing Britain 🇬🇧
Lots done & lots more to do.
The Prime Minister's #LPC25 speech framed Britain’s choice as decency or division, renewal or decline. New opinion from
@benhowlettuk.bsky.social: Growth, borders, and values took centre stage - but the real test will be turning rhetoric into tangible reform. politicsuk.com/prime-minist...
Great to speak with @DementiaUK, @ProstateUK, @CR_UK & @_MCS_Foundation at #Lab25 - all requested by my constituents in #Newcastle! Their fantastic work makes a real difference to people every day. Grateful for the chance to listen and learn. 🌹 #LPC25

@sioldridge.bsky.social at #LPC25 Carbon Capture event: “#CCS makes sense for hard-to-abate sectors, but UK plans would see £264 billion spent on tree-burning Drax and new gas power stations—ignoring huge, uncaptured upstream emissions, making these plans worse than coal for the climate".
Thanks to the Health team for visiting our stand at Labour Party Conference!🌹@skinnock.bsky.social @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social @zubirahmed.bsky.social @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social @karinsmythmp.bsky.social

📢 Helena Horton—Environment reporter, @theguardian.com: “Labour really needs to seize the moment and actually find their voice again, and have a positive message for the environment, and climate, and not one that’s putting their voters off.”
🐝 #CANBill #LPC25 #Lab25
📢 @metecoban92.bsky.social—Deputy Mayor of London: “The climate and nature crisis disproportionately affects those who have done least to cause the crisis in the first place. This is a massive issue of social justice, racial justice and economic justice.”

What a fantastic day 3 at #Lab25. We’re delighted to have met so many people who are enthusiastic about lowering #ElectricityPrices, were interested in their heat pump constituency data – and many with #HeatPumps themselves!
See you tomorrow #LPC25
📢 Prof. Nathalie Pettorelli: “The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries. Yet there’s no food, clean air, water, climate mitigation or adaptation without nature. That’s the point of the #CANBill: to have legislation to tackle the intertwined climate and nature crisis.” 🐝 #LPC25 #Lab25
📢 @simonforstroud.bsky.social MP: “Britain has an historic opportunity to lead globally on tackling the climate and nature crisis, to unlock green jobs, lower energy bills and protect our food security for years to come. We cannot grow the economy on a dead planet.”

Catching up with @jon4highpeak.bsky.social MP this afternoon at #LPC25
His High Peak constituency has lost many NHS dentists over the last 10 years.
This exodus isn’t inevitable.
We can and must stem the flow. @thebda.bsky.social
Great to meet @linseyfarnsworthmp.bsky.social at #LPC25
Her Amber Valley constituency is one of Derbyshire’s worst dental desserts.
We’re committed to work together to secure a sustainable future for NHS dentistry in the region and nationwide.
