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

spokesperson says it isn't party policy – but it’s time it was. Likes of Burnham, Khan and other Labour MPs are demanding change.

The report

commissioned on how to protect renters isn’t even formally out and looks like the party is already distancing itself from recommended reforms? Doesn’t bode well.

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?

Delighted to say I've been granted a debate in Parliament on biodiversity loss next Wednesday. I'll be opening up the debate - and needless to say, I've got an awful lot I want to say. Some captured in this article, based on my new book Another England

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: @natalieben reading out a statement from @CarolineLucas at the @omdimbeyachadUK rally yesterday in London in solidarity with a large peace rally in Tel Aviv.

@TheGreenParty has consistently called for a bilateral #ceasefire and to #FreeTheHostages

RT by @CarolineLucas: @natalieben joined with a message from @CarolineLucas: I stand together in solidarity with Palestinian &amp; Jewish citizens in Israel campaigning for peace &amp; justice… No more war, no more UK sales of weapons used against civilians, no more complicity in breaking international law.

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.

[2024-05-09 06:54 UTC]

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.

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.
