We’ve got a small window left, and the next five years are make or break.

If Jenrick needs some exs of Englishness, he could start with the Diggers & Levellers, Tolpuddle martyrs, working people fighting for our rights against elites trying to prevent it eg at Peterloo - our history is far more inclusive & radical than he knows

RT by @CarolineLucas: We're calling on the govt to clean up rivers affected by industrial poultry production.
Intensive farming has increased the levels of phosphates finding their way in to our rivers: devastating wildlife & plants.
Companies mustn't profit from pollution

Labour seriously proposing to learn lessons from Italy’s hard-right immigration plans?? Costly, dangerous & completely unethical. Ministers should instead be pursuing a fair & workable plan at home, based on safe routes & upholding international law

RT by @CarolineLucas: Sad that the debate today ended the way it did. The reckless plan to cut winter fuel payments amounts to an unjustified and cruel assault on pensioners’ finances, mental and physical health. #WinterFuelPayment

RT by @CarolineLucas: Our MPs will be holding Labour to account and voting against scrapping the winter fuel allowance. We promised to push them to make the correct decisions and we stand by that promise.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 2 million pensioners will be pushed in to fuel poverty with the Winter Fuel Payment cut proposal.
To all the Labour MP's who are concerned about this measure, I say, vote with your conscience, so we can look after the most vulnerable in our society.

“The party is on a roll” - dead right

! We’ve increased councillor numbers 5-fold in last 5 elections & in parliament it’s Greens pushing Govt to be bolder & braver. Labour promised change - without investment they won’t achieve it
