RT by @CarolineLucas: When UK was a member of the EU we had the water framework directive that cleaned up Europe’s dirty water.

Since Brexit, the UK is no longer required to match EU regulations

We warned this would happen: we have returned to being the dirty man of Europe

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🇪🇺 Today is #EuropeDay!

74 years ago today, the spark that lit the flame of the greatest peace project in history began.

Our latest polling shows HALF of Brits want a closer relationship with the EU. Brexit is not the end of our European story.

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: Today we heard that sewage has once again been released into the sea off the Sussex coast - three times in the last 24 hours. Our seas and our swimmers deserve better.

The problem is privatisation, the answer is to end it. And only Green MPs will make the case.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🌡️ April 2024 is confirmed as the hottest on record. but less discussed are sea temperatures: this was the 13th month in a row where each month was hotter than the last. No more evidence is needed, just action: https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/national/uk-today/24304977.april-2024-hottest-month-globally-since-records-began/

This is shocking: blatant profiteering and plundering of NHS staff and precious NHS resources allowed by our utterly incompetent govt. Agency charging hospitals nearly £2,000 for specialist nurse shift.

As a nation that prides itself on its love of nature, how has England become one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world? We urgently need to dismantle the corrosive mentality that sets growth as the pre-eminent goal.

The majority of the public, Tory &amp; Labour voters alike, want to turf out the profiteering polluters running our water companies - yet only

has policy to end the legalised scam of privatisation. Predictably the PM had no answers

RT by @CarolineLucas: Some headlines from these council elections:

🔴 We'll have a Labour govt soon
🟠 Lib Dems did better than Conservatives
🟢 Greens progressed strongly especially in their General Election target seats

Bizarre that metropolitan journalists thought Reform a more important story

RT by @CarolineLucas: Here’s an important bit of data visualisation that I don’t think I’ve seen from anyone yet. I’ve crunched the numbers and put them in a chart myself. This is the proportional change of seats for each party:

🟢 +69%
🟠 +25%
🔴 +19%
🔵 -48%
