"Miliband was right to highlight the threat that climate breakdown poses to our national security – though the full extent of these threats, highlighted by UK intelligence agencies in a report last year, have never been fully released." Adrian Ramsay asks: where does Labour stand on climate?

WHERE DOES LABOUR STAND ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS?

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"Miliband asked where each and every party stands on tackling the climate crisis.
The Green Party is unequivocal: it means no new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea. It means no green light for a third runway at Heathrow. It means massive investment in our homes, green energy sources and transport in ways that both tackle the climate crisis and cut people’s bills.

So we ask Labour: where do you stand on these issues?"

I have said before and will again: any electoral reform commission must NOT rule out a change of system BEFORE the next election if needed. We cannot risk a minority vote handing a huge majority to any party that would take a shredder to democracy itself.

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.

HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.

Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.

It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

A fairer voting system can't wait until after the next general election. We need electoral reform now.

WE NEED FAIR VOTING BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION

ELLIE CHOWNS
MP FOR NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE

"The PM cannot acknowledge the unfairness of a system capable of handing power to a government with a minority of the vote share, and then say the answer is to let that happen exactly once more before he fixes it.

Burnham must act with urgency to immediately jumpstart the National Commission, guarantee timely progress, and ensure its recommendations are delivered in time for a fairer voting system to be in place at the next general election."

There's no place in a climate emergency for expanding one of the UK’s biggest polluters. A third runway at Heathrow would benefit a tiny minority (wealthy frequent flyers) at huge cost to the environment and local community. The Government can and must put a stop to this now.

Carla and Siân Berry look angry standing in front of an electronic sign that reads "Arriving soon from Heathrow's new third runway - Irreversible climate breakdown." to their right is a person in a high vis jacket holding a no fly sign.

Image shows a large group of people holding banners, signs and red ribbon to demonstrate the red line on Heathrow expansion. The picture is very colourful.

Water company profits are soaring as raw sewage is being pumped into our waters. The government must bring all water companies back into public ownership: end the unlawful dumping of sewage, and ensure profits are being reinvested back into fixing leaks and building new infrastructure.
