RT by @CarolineLucas: Keir Starmer said wealth creation is a priority for his government.

But he's cut the Winter Fuel Allowance for vulnerable pensioners and refuses to tax the super-rich fairly.

Who are you trying to create wealth for Prime Minister?

RT by @CarolineLucas: Starmer warns of tough times ahead to fix ‘Tory ruins’

Not what people voted for when they chose Labour’s message of change on 4th July

Tax wealth fairly to make tough times unnecessary!

RT by @CarolineLucas: Shocking that government is planning to reopen detention centres, one of which was closed after it was found to be "damaging to detainees".

Labour must end the cruel widespread use of immigration detention centres, and open safe routes to sanctuary.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Conservative MPs are doubling down on their hostility to Net Zero! 🤯

@ZackPolanski told @DeSmog, it shows the Tories have learnt nothing, are out of touch with the British people and are a threat to the planet

Regulatory reform & more funds are vital if we’re to fix our broken water system. As water companies continue to dump their filth into our waterways, it beggars belief that Labour could contemplate backtracking on their commitments ⁦

Does environmental destruction, animals being trapped and killed, and defenceless birds being blasted out of the sky sound glorious to you?

RT by @CarolineLucas: At 11.02am on 9 August 1945, the US dropped Fat Man - an atomic bomb with a plutonium core - on the city of Nagasaki. It was 40 percent more powerful than the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima 3 days earlier and would kill 74,000 people by the end of 1945. #NeverAgain

The scale of the cybersecurity failures at Sellafield are truly shocking - the risks it poses are like a ticking time bomb. Nuclear power is costly, slow to build, unnecessary & dangerous. Let’s have no more of it

RT by @CarolineLucas: A very large anti-racist crowd in #Brighton. On the A23 entering here, the Patcham Pylons inscription hails guests and then says:

“If friend we greet thee hand and heart. If stranger no longer be. If foe our love shall conquer thee.”

That spirit proven a thousand-fold tonight.

RT by @CarolineLucas: For Shell to post billions in profits, through a strategy of prioritising oil and gas over clean energy, just days after the planet experienced its warmest day on record, is sickening.

The Government should increase the rate of the windfall tax on these oil and gas giants and close the existing loopholes and tax-relief mechanisms they benefit from.

The profits could be spent on a programme of home insulation to bring down bills and reduce our carbon emissions.

The country NEEDS capital investments, and to find amazing cost-benefit ratios, the Chancellor should look at council housing: buying, building and refurbishing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c724g07qwdwo
