RT by @CarolineLucas: The ICJ is considering the South African application that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza again tomorrow. These are some of the binding provisional measures that the ICJ told Israel it must implement. I'm not going to get ahead of the court, but I think it's pretty clear that Israel has not abided by these measures (para 80 for instance). Israel may ignore any ruling, but the international and legal consequences, including for Israel's allies who are also bound by the Genocide Convention, may be far reaching. We'll see.

Sunak claimed the UK government is doing everything it can to support people in Gaza. How does he dare even make that claim, in the same breath he refuses to suspend arms to Israel?

Glad to secure this debate on biodiversity loss today, at a time when nature in the UK is under assault from every angle & we are not on track to meet our targets. This Government – and the next one – must act fast to address this crisis. 🧵

What a roaring success the privatisation of water has been. One of the richest countries in the world and we can't swim in our water or even drink it without getting sick? This can't go on. What will it take for this Government to act?

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.

Renters cannot keep being squeezed and squeezed and squeezed again. We need a real system for rent controls.

People in Gaza are caught in a sickening Catch 22: can't leave Gaza unless they enrol their biometrics & can't do that in Gaza. Govt urgently needs to set up a family reunion scheme for Gaza as they did for Ukraine

Higher education in Gaza has been devastated. Why won't this Government introduce a sanctuary scheme for researchers in Gaza, as it did for Ukrainians?

Asked the PM what he was going to do about the shitshow that is our waters and just got told what a wonderful job they're doing. So I tabled a motion in Parliament for a proper plan: starting with bringing water back into public hands.

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

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
