UK Government lags far behind other major European countries in green investment and it is ordinary people who are paying the price.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Hand in hand with Rishi Sunak's unfathomable pandering to Big Oil is a hostility to renewables. We have now issued a claim in the High Court challenging the impediments he has created to onshore wind power. https://goodlaw.social/dvx7

RT by @CarolineLucas: So sad to be at the council expecting a vote to abruptly close St Bart’s school in Brighton. The extended timetable proposed by the Head and Greens today would be much wiser. Is Labour effectively not even open to leaving the door open for a new Govt to support schools better?

Let me get this straight: on Friday night the PM’s message was so urgent, he had to speak to the nation from a podium in Downing St. But today, given the opportunity to speak to Parliament, there are no urgent statements at all? Why not

Rishi

was spot on - democracy is indeed under threat from extremists. The problem is, they’re running the country. We urgently need to wake up to the scale of the threat they pose. My piece for

Government documents ‘blow gaping hole’ in its case for Cumbrian coalmine - yet more evidence that ministers are taking a wrecking ball to truth & trust as well as to the environment. We need a clean energy

And what a broken, divided & dangerous Britain they are building. We do not have to let these morally bankrupt desperate Tories define this country and its values. I explore alternative more progressive stories in my book

RT by @CarolineLucas: Rishi Sunak, who voted to criminalise the right to protest, make it harder to vote, strip the Electoral Commission of powers and limit court abilities to remedy unlawful government actions, says political extremists have no respect for British democracy.

The UK faces an under investment crisis. It hurts families, damages our public services &amp; endangers our climate commitments. That's why Parliamentarians united this week to call on the

RT by @CarolineLucas: Wow! Caroline Lucas explains why we need a wealth tax - bravo 👏 #BBCQT

Caroline Lucas, "I can certainly tell you that the Green Party would not be proposing tax cuts when public services are decimated, when hospitals have huge waiting lists, when schools are crumbling, when universities can't cope.. The Green Party would be prioritising investment in public services, not cutting taxes"

David Lammy, "Where are you going to get the money to do that?"

Caroline Lucas, "A wealth tax.. Some of the richest people do not pay a proportionate amount of tax.. They have one in Switzerland, in Norway, and the sky hasn't fallen" @CarolineLucas

No surprise that
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Drax
continues to burn down irreplaceable ancient forests for profits. What’s unbelievable is that the Govt still wants the UK public to pick up the tab for this obscene greenwashing travesty. Another £4bn by 2030? Indefensible.
