RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucus(Green): "I think we need to have a debate about the impact of brexit. I can't bear the fact that Nigel Farage keeps getting away with no one asking him about his last mad adventure, before he starts trying to take Britain down the path of a new one.."

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucas, "Keir Starmer is not offering hope at this election.. People are voting for Labour to try and keep the Tories out"
"We know there are going to be public spending cuts.. The two big parties aren't being honest about that.. Labour are saying they don't have a magic money tree.. Yet there are political choices.. It is perfectly possible to levy a tax on the super wealthy which we could use to fund our public services"
Well said @CarolineLucas 👏

RT by @CarolineLucas: Raw sewage, chemical dumping, plastics: our rivers are dire. Sadly, these problems apply to beaches too. Usually privatised water companies are the source of the problem. It's why The Green Party was fast in signing up to the #VoteForRivers campaign:
