Even the US, Israel's closest ally, has said it won't send offensive weapons if a ground attack on
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Rafah
goes ahead. PM must suspend all arms sales & export licences to Israel NOW and use every lever UK has to protect lives in

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.

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.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🌡️ April 2024 is confirmed as the hottest on record. but less discussed are sea temperatures: this was the 13th month in a row where each month was hotter than the last. No more evidence is needed, just action: https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/national/uk-today/24304977.april-2024-hottest-month-globally-since-records-began/

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.

The majority of the public, Tory &amp; Labour voters alike, want to turf out the profiteering polluters running our water companies - yet only
https://nitter.privacydev.net/TheGreenParty
has policy to end the legalised scam of privatisation. Predictably the PM had no answers

Think Rishi Sunak said something misleading at
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23pmqs
on dentistry crisis, saying: "...since then, at the end of January, 500 more practices have said that they are now open to new patients" but omitted massive caveat you find on the NHS website which is "when availabilty allows"

[2024-05-08 11:54 UTC]

The PM's claim the UK doesn't ship arms to Israel is a clear evasion. Is he seriously not aware parts engineered by British workers are ending up in Israel?

At
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23PMQs
Sunak says he’s “reforming welfare &amp; getting people into work” when what he’s really doing is blaming &amp; insulting people who want to work with his nasty, predictable “sick note culture” rhetoric, whilst taking no responsibility for huge NHS waiting lists

[2024-05-08 11:23 UTC]

I feel nothing but dread. I can't begin to imagine the terror people &amp; children in Gaza are feeling right now. The UK must not stand idly by.
Our Govt must take action NOW. We need to do everything in our power to pressure the Israeli Govt to stop this violence.

UK govt must stand with others in international community making clear that extreme Netanyahu govt attacking Rafah breaches international law - there is no safe place to “evacuate” to. How frightened must children there be? UK Govt must stop grim complicity &amp; end arms sales now

RT by @CarolineLucas: Congratulations to Sadiq Khan on your re-election. I enjoyed our election debates.

I'm glad that 3 Green Assembly Members were also re-elected to hold the Mayor to account to deliver a more affordable, greener city.
