So great to have @lb_southwark as a super engaged supporter and enabler. A leader in London and helping us deliver ground breaking innovation and income from solar panels to fund fuel poverty alleviation on Southwark's council estates.
⚡️ More funding for community energy in Southwark ⚡️
As part of our efforts to reduce inequality and tackle the climate emergency, we have awarded over £400,000 to 24 community-led green projects that will reduce energy bills and help the environment

Literally the last chance to invest as the next tranche of Southwark's Green Investment is on the verge of selling out again. Heartfelt thanks to all those brilliant investors. 👏👏👏
Great to hear @Sam_Dalton_1 speaking about the £££ support Southwark Council are giving to the most needy elderly people in our community this winter. @EmilyAHickson#FuelPoverty
40% of children in Peckham live in poverty.
We cannot go on like this.
Following the positive announcement of the Child Poverty Taskforce, I've invited the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Liz Kendall @leicesterliz, to come and hear from our community about how difficult it is to meet the cost of living.
I will always fight to make sure Peckham's voice is at the heart of Labour's mission to tackle child poverty.
Great 2 b at @metecoban92's 1st public engagement on day 2 of his new job as London's deputy mayor for environment and energy. #GreenRenewal Emphasised importance of creating shared public missions. Solar on schools @stokeyenergy. Solar on council estates. @hackneypower@LCEF_UK
“Now I’ve been in office for a couple of weeks, I’m more convinced, rather than less, that our 2030 clean energy targets are achievable,” @Ed_Miliband tells audience at @LCEF_UK#greenrenewal event.
@Ed_Miliband says he is more convinced a decarbonised electricity grid is achievable by 2030 after 3 weeks in Government. #GreenRenewal @NationalGridESO will be producing a plan to get there (not just leaving the market to do its own thing). @NigelBanks_OEG
Great to be at @LCEF_UK#GreenRenewal with @Ed_Miliband@mcortonscott@paul_mcnamee_ and a full room. Trying to weaponise climate in the culture war was 'electorally disastrous' for the Tories. Labour has to win the 'fairness politics' of the transition to zero.
"Over the next few decades the toll of air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels will be greater than all the other impacts of climate change combined."

For too long, we've relied on energy produced and owned abroad – empowering oligarchs and despots, while multinational oil and gas companies make record profits. It's time to invest in clean, community-owned energy here in the UK. Agree? Add your name 👇 https://t.co/dUJOHBnJ0A
