RT by @CarolineLucas: “Although I’m a great believer in hospice care, sadly there are limits to what palliative care can achieve.”

Hospice CEO Mark Jarman-Howe supports assisted dying because ‘it will make things safer, better and more compassionate for patients and families’ at the end of life.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The fur trade isn't only cruel. It's also a public health risk because of the way wild animals are caged & treated

Scientists warn that zoonotic diseases from fur farms could trigger the next pandemic

It's time for a #furfreeBritain

“I don’t believe anyone should be forced to endure terrible suffering that could be prevented, & I also believe in arguing for increases in resources …to help everyone to have the freedom to choose what their lives & deaths look like”

RT by @CarolineLucas: This Friday, MPs will vote on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

This is a historic opportunity. MPs must remember that dying people are depending on them to do the right thing; to vote for choice, for safety, and for compassion.

RT by @CarolineLucas: I will be voting to progress the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill and I spoke about it on BBC SE Politics. I’m touched by all those contacting me, and believe we need to fix the current law that leaves people making heartbreaking choices all alone and without support.

@UKLabour , you must end the #BadgerCull now , not in 5 years time .

Evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing

RT by @CarolineLucas: It was a privilege on Saturday to be elected co-President with Caroline Lucas of the U.K. European Movement.
We come from different political traditions but are united in believing that our country's wellbeing is dependant on rebuilding our relationships with our European neighbours who share our values. I look forward to working with Caroline and Mike Galsworthy it's Chair in furthering its work.
We were also given a rousing valedictory address by Michael Heseltine. His long career spans the entirety of the life of the EM since its foundation. It gives us confidence that the dismal consequences of Brexit for our country are a transient phenomenon that we can and will overcome.

“For the health secretary to threaten that passing this law might mean treatments being denied to others is up there in the dishonesty levels with that “£350m a week for the NHS” Brexit campaign promise.” 👏⁦

RT by @CarolineLucas: Green MPs have written to Foreign Secretary about Govt's position on genocide in Gaza.

We want to know if they’ve carried out any kind of assessment of serious risk & to know at what point they think UK's obligation to prevent genocide will be triggered. We'll share response.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Rachel Reeves’ poverty of ambition https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11/14/rachel-reeves-poverty-of-ambition/ Reeves wants to take the savings of the UK’s local council employees out of the hands of the local authority that employs them and pass them to mega funds in the City of London, whom she would like to use 5% of the funds to invest locally. Apart from undermining local authorities and distancing local people from their money, what could go wrong? Let’s start with the fact that this money will now be aligned against climate change and the government and move on from there…
