Sunak claimed the UK government is doing everything it can to support people in Gaza. How does he dare even make that claim, in the same breath he refuses to suspend arms to Israel?

R to @CarolineLucas: It's easy to feel horrified by the state of UK nature but we can turn this around, restore our habitats, create new wild spaces and get biodiversity thriving. This is a question of political will. Whoever forms the next Govt needs to step up & act.

[2024-05-15 14:26 UTC]

R to @CarolineLucas: And @TheGreenParty believe we must also go further
- Introducing a new Rights of Nature Bill to put a thriving natural world at the heart of Govt decision making
- Working to change the mindset which places GDP growth above all else, including the wellbeing of people & 🌍

[2024-05-15 14:26 UTC]

R to @CarolineLucas: So what does the Govt need to do now?
🌡️Speed up the transition to zero carbon & ban new oil gas licenses
🌱Support farmers - double funding for nature friendly farming & driving a shift to agroecology
🦋Effectively protect more sites for nature & create new habitats

R to @CarolineLucas: This isn't just a disaster for individual species - it's a disaster for us too. We’re becoming a lonelier species. And if you want to measure it in economic terms, a recent report found biodiversity loss could hit our economy more than either financial crash or Covid

[2024-05-15 14:26 UTC]

R to @CarolineLucas: Imagine if we squandered half our wealth, or land, or people. Yet seemingly, with few regrets, we have sacrificed half of our country's natural inheritance. Nature is in freefall and without urgent action now, we risk losing species from our skies, lands and waters forever.

[2024-05-15 14:26 UTC]

R to @CarolineLucas: The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on earth. And the State of Nature report revealed that in my lifetime alone, the abundance of species has fallen on average by 20% - meaning that just half of animals, insects and plants now remain.

[2024-05-15 14:26 UTC]

Glad to secure this debate on biodiversity loss today, at a time when nature in the UK is under assault from every angle & we are not on track to meet our targets. This Government – and the next one – must act fast to address this crisis. 🧵

What a roaring success the privatisation of water has been. One of the richest countries in the world and we can't swim in our water or even drink it without getting sick? This can't go on. What will it take for this Government to act?

Looks like JCB lied and kept trading with Russia after all. How can the Tories possibly think it's ok to accept donations from them? It's blood money pure and simple - and Sunak must do the right thing & give it back.

Despite Lewes Prison report from HM Chief Prisons Inspector, warning of rising violence, self-harm, drug problems & crumbling infrastructure "in need of substantial investment", at

all Sunak could say was "we understand the importance of prisons"
What dangerous complacency

Under this Government, the UK has lost any shred of credibility as a leader on the climate and nature emergencies. So I'm proud to lead this cross-party demand from MPs and Peers for the Prime Minister to take urgent steps to cut emissions and protect our natural world.

Politicising sex education is unforgivable dangerous &amp; reactionary. It’s always *age appropriate* to give young people skills to stay safe. For younger ones that means teaching about respect &amp; healthy relationships. This is worst kind of arm-chair politics bigoted &amp; ill-informed

[2024-05-15 07:15 UTC]

The latest inspection report on HMP Lewes continues to raise serious concerns about conditions for prisoners - I've already submitted written questions in Parliament and will be raising with the Minister as well.

Renters cannot keep being squeezed and squeezed and squeezed again. We need a real system for rent controls.
https://nitter.privacydev.net/UKLabour
spokesperson says it isn't party policy – but it’s time it was. Likes of Burnham, Khan and other Labour MPs are demanding change.

[2024-05-14 10:39 UTC]

The report
https://nitter.privacydev.net/UKLabour
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.
