RT by @CarolineLucas: morbidly funny how the first of starmer's new pledges contrasts with the first of his old pledge card, the new third directly contradicts the old sixth, can also make a case for the new fifth versus the spirit of the old 4, 8 and 9

R to @CarolineLucas: The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on earth. And the State of Nature report revealed that in my lifetime alone, the abundance of species has fallen on average by 20% - meaning that just half of animals, insects and plants now remain.

Looks like JCB lied and kept trading with Russia after all. How can the Tories possibly think it's ok to accept donations from them? It's blood money pure and simple - and Sunak must do the right thing & give it back.

Sickening to watch Cameron attempting to defend the indefensible - turning evasion and obfuscation into an art form. Govt’s refusal to end arms exports to Israel makes UK complicit in war crimes &amp; the refusal to reinstate funding to UNRWA is unforgivable

The kind of front page historians may one day analyse in disbelief. Scientists have run out of words to tell us how serious an emergency this is. And still both main parties bury their heads in the sand

RT by @CarolineLucas: Would be a fantastic outcome if @carla_denyer won.

More political diversity in parliament and would also mean Labour MPs don’t take their constituencies for granted.

Many don’t - but some very much do!

Momentous ruling: this Govt's dangerous lack of concrete climate plans &amp; investment is unlawful. There is no time to lose now - Govt must go back to the drawing board &amp; urgently pull together a credible plan to put the UK back on track to delivering our climate commitments

This was a very serious question about a senior UK politician getting death threats through groups set up and promoted by Tory staffers. The PM didn't even bother to give it a proper response. He pledged to stand up to extremists - but apparently not if they're in his own party.

It's important that reports like this one from

estimates £228k. People deserve to know how much extra this Government is willing to pay to be this cruel.

After all the corruption we've seen from the Tory party and everything they've done to bring our NHS to its knees, Sunak dares to suggest it's the sick who can't work who are the problem? The very people he and his party have let down so badly? The sheer nerve of it.
