3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

Stephanie, a couple of questions. How do you make citizens’ assemblies representative? I am guessing that the people who engage with the climate debate are usually people, like you said, who have high support for renewables, “I am not against renewables, but—” and then you get the engaged people who are not against ren

How about starting with giving them a share of the development?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

I want to respectfully disagree with Polly. I think we have heard some news today, and it is almost 6 pm so I can do a news summary, and you have told us that 3,000 or 4,000 people will have died this summer because of climate change. You have told us that the GDP will fall off a cliff by 2070 unless we act. You have t

Or people who will use it have another political agenda, a party political agenda perhaps, who will use renewables as a lightning rod to build opposition against the current Government.

Yes, and Miatta as well. So I just want to ask each one of you to give your top recommendation on how we change that story and how we change that message.

That comes back to the original engagement you and I had, that the people who tend to engage in that are the kind of people who are for renewables but—

The other side of this—as you discussed, Stephanie—is getting bogged down in legalese and things not getting done, and the temperature is increasing every summer while we do nothing. People that can afford it do it, but most people feel not listened to when government or councils or planning processes go through.

1 Sept 2025Gaza: Ceasefire

I reiterate the concerns raised last night by my fellow journalist and hon. Friend the Member for Earley and Woodley (Yuan Yang) in highlighting Gaza as the deadliest war for journalists. Over 189 have been killed since October 2023, despite reporters being categorised as protected civilians under international law. Is

1 Sept 2025Defibrillators

It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Bishop Auckland (Sam Rushworth) for bringing this debate to the House, and I wish him well in his recovery. A few years ago, not many of us in rural Scotland would have known about the importance of defibrillat

31 Aug 2025 Middle East

I thank the Foreign Secretary for his statement and for his stamina over the past two hours. I assure him that the horror of the unfolding famine in Gaza and concern about the future of the hostages are felt just as strongly on the Atlantic coast of Scotland as they are on the shores of the eastern Mediterranean.
