RT by @CarolineLucas: Brighton has led the way by electing the amazing @CarolineLucas to have a strong, independent voice. An incredible city that puts its values behind public services that serve the people, climate justice and inclusive rights. Join my campaign to keep Brighton Pavilion Green today!

Westminster may be gripped by election fever now, but in other news tomorrow Ofwat will be deciding if greedy & failing water companies can hike bills by up to 91%. I joined nearly 40 MPs across parties calling on Ofwat to reject their outrageous demand.

Sunak’s govt is hiding behind convention of not sharing legal advice to avoid even admitting whether the Attorney General advised PM about war crimes in Gaza – if war crimes aren’t a rare exception to the rule to keep legal advice secret – what would be under this immoral govt?

Walney's report is dangerous, draconian and undemocratic. Masquerading as an independent report, it is an overtly political hit job on our most fundamental civil rights, including the right to protest and trial by jury. We cannot afford to underestimate how serious this threat is

Last year, Southern Water released raw sewage into our waters for 317,285 hours, up 116% on the year before. Now they are asking Ofwat if they can put up our bills by a whopping 91% to pay for their failure? It's an outrage. What an absolute scam.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The Government has just published a report demanding draconian new anti-protest powers, specifically to protect defence and energy companies, while failing to mention its author's role as a paid lobbyist for... arms and fossil fuel industry groups

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucas raises a point of order about the Government's publication of a report demanding draconian new anti-protest laws to protect the defence and fossil fuel industry, while failing to mention its authors ties to those industries https://bylinetimes.com/2024/05/21/sunaks-anti-extremism-adviser-demands-protest-bans-to-protect-defence-and-energy-firms-while-working-as-lobbyist-for-arms-and-fossil-fuel-industry-groups/

I pay tribute to all those who fought for justice on

for so long & welcome Govt finally accepting urgency of compensation. But there will be an accountability gap without an independent body to monitor & oversee implementation of report's recommendations

The Govt's climate plan has been ruled unlawful - twice. So I asked if they'd finally do better & stop relying on magic technofixes. Apparently my q wasn't "credible" as the UK is already doing great. Was High Court ruling also not credible? Or

saying we're off track?

The ICC has applied for warrants to arrest both the leaders of Hamas and Israel for war crimes. What more will it take for the UK Govt to end our complicity, act on the evidence and immediately revoke all licenses for arms exports to Israel?

RT by @CarolineLucas: Events for #IDAHOBIT are always a mix of joyous celebration and serious discussion of the harm homophobia, biphobia and transphobia cause to us all in society. At the @LedwardCentre in Brighton today, the sunshine was brought by @rainbowchorus 💕🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💚

RT by @CarolineLucas: Watching @rainbowchorus rehearse before Brighton’s #IDAHOBIT event and I am just so grateful to live in a place with a strong and vibrant queer community. You can feel the sense of safety and acceptance it generates to have a critical mass of queer people in one place!

RT by @CarolineLucas: Great to meet up with some of the @G_hollingdean team and @CarolineLucas today to talk about their efforts to protect their area from the Council’s wrongheaded new glyphosate herbicide programme. And to visit the community orchard to play around among the trees and pond!
