Great to see the Govt publish its Integrated Transport Strategy today. It makes a positive case for better connectivity & accessibility, linking health outcomes & new development to better transport & empowering local leaders to take control of transport decisions. www.gov.uk/government/p...

💨 The UK wants closer alignment with the EU on trade and economy. But what about clean air? We're pleased to share this piece from Christopher Crompton from @ieep-uk.bsky.social on why the UK must catch up with EU air quality standards - and why we have the opportunity to go even further.

In a normal week, the Future Homes Standard launch would be a huge announcement in and of itself. This is a Lab Gov ensuring future housing stock come with solar panels and heat pumps as standard, helping tackle energy bills and bolstering our national energy security. 🧵

This is not an energy crisis, its an oil and gas crisis. Making the case here for a future of electrification and renewables... and not forgetting nuclear!

The best way of insulating households & businesses from soaring fuel costs & bolster energy security is to speed up the transition to electric vehicles. Great to see the Labour Government throwing its weight behind electrifying currently diesel-dominated van & HGV sector. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Wonder if some stuff might be going on that would explain this?

The greatest I've ever seen play for the club. Legend. 🇪🇬👑

The latest blog in our Warm Homes Plan series is by our Air Quality and Transport Manager @ralphpalmer.bsky.social on why the Warm Homes Plan is a quiet clean air policy win. 🔗 lcef.co.uk/blog/clean-a...

Great to see our @ippr.org report on climate backlash in the FT this morning. Anyone saying there is a breakdown in public support for climate policies is wrong. It’s entirely an elite confection, driven by people who don’t want to change. The strategy should be take them on not accommodate

🌎️ | NEW REPORT: The net zero "backlash" is a myth. Voters still back climate action, but politics and media are telling a different story. Our new analysis with Persuasion UK explains why and how we fix it 👉 www.ippr.org/articles/apa...

The link between clean air & homes is often overlooked but the impacts of cold, damp homes & gas combustion is significant. Labour's WHP is an big step forward in tackling this & could be a major boost to the Govt's preventative health agenda. My blog here: lcef.co.uk/blog/clean-a...

As ever the opposite is the case. What they're all arguing for here is dominance over Muslims. Dominance over a religious minority's right to worship, to freely assemble, to be visible, and to exist as equal members of British society. The complete opposite of what Britain fought for in World War 2

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New paper from @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social & me on the political threat and opportunity of climate adaptation Progressives have ignored the need to protect people from extreme weather - and that leaves an opening for the populist right. 🧵 @ippr.org www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

We need to learn the right lessons from moments like this. That’s why the government’s Clean Power Mission is so critical and why we’re moving faster to deliver it.

The Mayor of @london.gov.uk has been proven right on ULEZ. He'll be proven right on this too. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"I believe what we see around us only reinforces the case for electric vehicles. It impels us to move forwards with the transition." Great to see this from @keirmathermp.bsky.social amid the backdrop of industry trying to reopen the EV sales mandate *again*. transportandenergy.com/2026/03/12/t...

Fair play to the auto industry for calling for a review of the planned transition to EVs just as soaring petrol prices highlight why a fast transition is so important. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

The report on the first year of the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate is out. As predicted, the industry "over complied" with the policy for both cars and vans. Despite the critics, this is a successful piece of regulation. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Another vindication of @london.gov.uk & councillors across London in implementing proactive policies to cut air pollution across the city, even against wider political pressures. Shows what can be achieved with bold leadership. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today we have published new analysis building on the Committee's advice on the UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget. Our conclusions about the cost of decarbonising the UK and impacts on energy security were tested against different scenarios ⬇️ Read the full report here: www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

Great piece on the LCEF blog by @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social on the need for councillors to get far greater political cover from the Government when delivering clean air projects locally.

"The sprint to clean energy is the only way to get off the volatile international fossil fuels markets, cut bills & deliver energy security" Fair play to Starmer - this is exactly right. Meanwhile, Badenoch & Farage would have us hooked on more fossil fuels www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on news.sky.com/story/market...

Brilliant to see that every feasible primary school in #Lambeth will have a School Street by 2027. Thank you @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social for your strong leadership, and for putting children's #Health and safety first. 💥 💚 😍

Love to see this 👏

‘Magic beneath the surface’: pioneering geothermal plant launched in Cornwall

Today's news that the price cap is falling is very welcome - providing much needed cost-of-living support for families across the country. This has been the biggest drop since last summer - and there's still further to go as we progress towards Clean Power 2030. 🔗 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great to see this from the government. Making it easier & more affordable for renters, flat owners & those without driveways access cheaper home charging is critical for making the transition more accessible to everyone. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Proud to show our city leading the way… AGAIN! 💚🛳️ 🙌🏾 Great to join Labour Climate and Environment Forum and ABP last week, to see first-hand the incredible work being done to clean up our port. It’s supported by the Government’s recent £500m investment, to make ports sustainable and future ready.

Great @lcefuk.bsky.social day out in my neck of the woods with @laboursatvir.bsky.social & Associated British Ports last week to visit the Port of Southampton. Really interesting discussions on the industrial heritage of the city & the role of govt & industry in modernising & decarbonising ports.

A short 🧵 This is a really good article & shows the challenge MPs face. I received over 2,000 emails last month in our casework system; this covers 'campaign emails', personalised emails (often asking for my view on something) and people getting in touch who needing my team's support.

Today, Labour is launching the Local Power Plan, the biggest public investment in community energy projects in our history. For years these projects have faced barriers with little support from Whitehall, but today’s announcement means that reality is no longer. Our Directors' comment 👇

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has announced today a record £1bn invest in community-owned energy. This is the start of an energy ownership revolution which will see communities and community assets benefit from renewables in their areas. 📺 Watch him explain.

I was pleased to be at the Labour Local Government Conference yesterday, hosting a panel with 3 inspiring cllrs from Brighton, York & Lambeth who are passionate about delivering cleaner air for their communities, from school streets & quieter neighbourhoods to tackling pollution from wood burning.

Bright-eyed at day two of Labour LGA conference to discuss how we win the politics of air quality. How do we enpower the voices of those cllrs across the country who are delivering on this issue for their communities.

Was pleased to join the launch of Climate Jobs UK this week, calling, in the words of Gary Smith, for the just transition to be a jobs transition. The introduction of a Fair Work Charter for the next round of off-shore wind is a strong step on this journey. labourlist.org/2026/02/unio...

The reintroduction of beavers to London has been a huge success. The prospect of elk returning to Britain shows what’s possible when we give nature the space and support it needs.

We're deeply saddened by the passing of Councillor Waseem Zaffar. His commitment to clean air + public health - introducing Birmingham's Clean Air Zone to founding the Clean Air Justice Network (later Birmingham HAC) - leaves a lasting legacy that continues to inspire our fight for clean air 💙

The Warm Homes Plan is a genuinely exciting & defining moment for this Govt. It will tackle fuel poverty & living costs, while cutting emissions & boosting energy security. Great to be joined by the Minister for a productive discussion with MPs on how the plan will be delivered nationally & locally.

NEW #carspreading danger: @cleancitiescampaign.org analysis reveals a 92% rise in number of US-style pick-up trucks on UK roads. We've now more than half a million pick-up trucks where young children can’t be seen over high bonnet ⚠️ 1/7

Important analysis by @cleancitiescampaign.org on the rise of US-style pickups in the UK. There isn't a sudden need for these vehicles; this is a lifestyle choice. Large pickups are more dangerous, more polluting & have no place in urban areas. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Good to see Labour strengthening regulations around wood burning stoves following the recent move to bring the UK's PM2.5 pollution targets forward a decade. While there is lots more to do, it's encouraging to see a bit of a step change in narrative & policy on clean air in recent months.

To hopefully reassure Alison, certainly in Parliament there are people like me and @chionwurah.bsky.social who are calling for the evidence to be reviewed properly (including understanding gaps) and to not move to a knee jerk response. Young people's evidence must be part of this.

This Government's groundbreaking Warm Homes Plan is a defining moment for this Parliament - showing that tackling the cost of living crisis goes hand-in-hand with climate ambition. See below for more thoughts from our Directors on why the Warm Homes Plan is a game changer for British bill-payers 👇
