We need a proper investment plan to tackle the impacts of heatwaves, droughts and all the risks ahead, or we will all pay the price.

It's infuriating that large parts of SW1 still don't grasp the scale of this crisis, still pretending adaptation can wait.

The CCC has laid out exactly what well-adapted looks like. But nothing, as yet, suggests Andy Burnham takes this any more seriously than Keir Starmer did.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Climate resilience has been, at best, an afterthought for the seven Prime Ministers since the Climate Change Act. Andy Burnham must not repeat this grave mistake.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

It's deeply irresponsible of Reform-led councils, like the one here in Suffolk, to be taking backward steps on climate and nature.

Firefighters are battling extreme heat while Reform councils stick their heads in the sand to please their political donors.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Rosebank is the defining climate test for this Government. New North Sea oil and gas fields are inconsistent with our climate commitments, won't lower bills.

Approving it locks us deeper into fossil fuels we can't afford.

Thank you @AdrianRamsay for raising the terrible impact of the recent heatwaves on farmed animals in Parliament yesterday. We need urgent adaptations to housing and transport to stop millions of animals needlessly suffering from extreme heat. @StephenMorganMP @DefraGovUK

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

As I said yesterday, Britain has entered a new climate reality.

Govt must deliver a national Heat Resilience Strategy, led from the Cabinet Office with clear ministerial accountability, ensuring that decisions on housing, infrastructure, health, energy and land use are all designed for the climate we now face.

Climate we had in 20th Century 'has now gone' - Met Office https://t.co/6IWBwwvSp6

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

The climate emergency isn't a talking point. It's happening right now. Farmers are watching harvests fail, families are facing hosepipe bans, and our infrastructure is crumbling under record heat.

I've written to Cllr Hadwen, Leader of Suffolk County Council, urging him not to rescind our Climate Emergency Declaration.

The Big Butterfly Count runs 17 July to 9 August. Butterfly numbers have fallen sharply since the 1970s, and they're an early warning for the wider health of nature. All it takes is 15 minutes outdoors counting what you see. Get involved: https://t.co/j4JGyV3RzA

@natalieben It would also reinstate protections stripped from the Environmental Protection Act 1990, bringing the UK in line with the UN’s recognition of a human right to a clean, healthy environment.

No other family should suffer as Zane did. It’s time to get this law on the statute book.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Welcome news. I’ve campaigned on this with @natalieben, and have met Zane’s parents, Kye and Nicole, whose campaigning has been remarkable.

They’ve waited for too long for an inquiry. https://t.co/otjpkXxF2T

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

@natalieben Now we need Zane’s Law, which would require every council and the Environment Agency to keep a public register of contaminated land. It would place a legal duty on councils to fully remediate any site that poses a risk of harm, funded on a 'polluter pays' basis.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

I really enjoyed watching 'All Aboard for the Waveney Valley Line'.

Congratulations to Harleston Players on a fantastic play, beautifully delivered. Eileen Ryan's extensive research of our local history enabled them to tell the story of the Waveney Valley line from the hopeful inception to its sad closure a century later. It was such a big part of the fabric of our wonderful area and we can see the history around us today.

The closure of so many railway lines in the 1950s and 60s was one of the most short-sighted political decisions ever. These lines today would be popular, financially viable and have clean trains taking people around our communities.

The play is funny, entertaining and educational and I would recommend others to watch!

Their final performances are happening this Friday 17th July at 7:30pm and Saturday 18th, 2:30pm and 7:30pm. See here: https://t.co/2e3t1dyTiH

It's hard to tell if meat or dairy comes from an animal raised indoors on a factory farm or in a genuinely higher-welfare system.

That's not an accident. It's a labelling gap.

Nearly 80% of the British public want mandatory method-of-production labels on all animal products sold in supermarkets. People aren't asking for much. They just want to know what they're buying.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

This isn't the sort of farming I want to see. These industrial-scale units are bad news for ordinary farmers, the environment and welfare standards. I'll keep backing rural communities standing up for a better alternative.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

I'm in Weybread, where residents have come together to oppose a mega egg incubator. This huge industrial unit would bring a big increase in traffic and heavy lorries coming into a small village that just isn't built for it.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Residents have put forward a better alternative: affordable housing, which we desperately need more of across rural Suffolk and Norfolk. Many also want to protect the old pub and see new green space.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

More councils need to follow this lead and government needs to put more focus on nature recovery.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Congratulations to Mid Suffolk and East Suffolk councils on being nominated for the Planning for Nature Recovery Award. Two of just five councils shortlisted nationwide.

Both are Green-led, as is Forest of Dean. That is not a coincidence.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

It means projects delivering real improvements for wildlife and communities.

We need to see this approach scaled up. Sustained, long-term planning for nature recovery is not optional. It is essential. Well done to all those nominated.
