The best example we can set is to show the world that net zero is compatible with a pro-growth agenda.

Some will argue that this risks forfeiting our moral leadership on the climate issue. I simply don’t buy that argument.
It is to manage decline responsibly, apply strict climate tests, and channel the proceeds into projects that will cut bills and cut emissions.
The right approach is not to pretend North Sea oil and gas is the future, or to treat every remaining project as a moral catastrophe.
We still can build the infrastructure to grow our economy, we have to, and - if I become Prime Minister - we will.
I will pass emergency laws to build data centres, nuclear power generation, transport infrastructure connecting people with jobs, and more.
If Parliament can act in days to save British Steel, it can act with urgency to save Britain’s future prosperity.
Yes. We’ve got a mandate for a five-year Parliament. We were elected on a manifesto, we don’t live in a presidential system, we live in a parliamentary democracy.
There is a risk that a Labour leadership contest becomes a Dutch auction of the most expensive and popular pledges to appeal to the Party faithful at the expense of the British people.
I would hope that after Thursday’s by-election, when the results are in, and I very much hope Andy Burnham wins... I hope the Prime Minister will at that stage reflect on his own position and set out a timetable.
I think there should be a contest. I have every intention of standing in that contest.
There is a pragmatic case for producing our own gas rather than importing from abroad.
We've been through several waves of change that have delivered genuine strengths, but also deep weaknesses.
I would not use a leadership campaign to make costly promises that I would have to later reverse.
Businesses and households are held back by high energy costs. The tax receipts from new North Sea oil and gas fields should be funnelled into cheaper energy: insulation, heat pumps, and electrification to cut bills and emissions.
We’ve been far too timid in the face of broligarchs attempting to reshape our society and inspire hatred – we should be standing up to the forces of darkness online and offline, and we still can.
If platforms are knowingly promoting this dangerous content, bosses should face criminal action and the companies should be made to pay the costs of cleaning up and rebuilding Belfast, along with the thugs on the ground.
We’re long past the time for threats. We have to act. Incitement to violence is a crime in the offline world so it must be prosecuted as a crime in the online world.
But the worst example we can set is that net zero can only be delivered on the backs of the poor and working people’s jobs.
The tax receipts from new North Sea oil and gasfields should be funnelled into cheaper energy: insulation, heat pumps, and electrification to cut bills and emissions.
Change isn’t always easy, but Martha’s rule is proof that it can be done.
