Sometimes she would totally toe the Tory whip line, to protect her position it seemed, and other times she would stick her neck out and rebel, as she did for a time over Brexit.She is a hard working and often effective advocate for the climate, instrumental in the net zero legislation, and yet, as a minister, also supported fracking and voted for the third Heathrow runway.Is it harder for a woman in Westminster, and harder for anyone trying to have a meaningful family life, to stay true to personal values (and keep their job) in an apparently toxic atmosphere of Punch and Judy politics?When Claire took a sabbatical from her cabinet ministerial position earlier this year due to a family illness, she told me in a CCL local meeting that MPs had no working rights and this was the first time this had been allowed, and only possible with the support of the then PM, Theresa May.Fast forward a few months to Boris’ new regime and she found herself relegated to the back benches.Whatever the real story behind Claire’s COP26 sacking, the political system needs to be less brutal, more nurturing. Most of the technology we need, we have. Crucially, something that is emerging is the disconnect between what the negotiators are saying and what the home countries are saying and doing.”This growing disconnect was reflected in the bickerings between the developed and the developing countries during the Madrid talks, especially over the pre-2020 climate commitments. "There can be no greater responsibility than protecting our planet, and no mission that a Global Britain is prouder to serve.
It seems to me if you have policies that if you’re building infrastructure that your country needs or although all our countries need for development, if you build it in a climate resilient way: A) it would be more robust so you won’t have roads collapse and railways wash down and buildings go down, people lose their lives and B) it will be cheaper because you won’t be burning the next generation with the cost of rebuilding but it seems to be spending now or innovating now to generate that technology at an acceptable cost can only be a good thing for long term development.”She also acknowledged that the urgency to address climate action is lacking despite the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warning that going beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels means the “bringing of even wider-ranging and more destructive climate impacts”.

It’s not about tackling climate change because doing nothing is the most expensive option. But we don’t want to wait for climate crisis for that to happen,” she emphasised.Over the next few months, O’Neill plans to “use the global convening power of the COP to bring many positive action moments together” and that would form the basis of their work in the years to come. So far, 114 say they have done this, or are in the process of doing so this year. Boris Johnson has axed the president of the major climate summit which the UK is hosting in November.
