Good on the Archbishop of Canterbury saying what needs to be said: the 2 child benefits cap is cruel &amp; immoral, plunging hundreds of thousands of children into poverty. *One quarter* of UK children live below the poverty line. Labour refusal to reverse the policy is shocking

Extraordinary that in discussion on Gaza on

just now Grant Shapps was asked nothing about restarting funding for UNRWA &amp; nothing about UK Govt continuing to grant licenses for arms exports to Israel - how can UK complicity in war crimes be so easily ignored?

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!

The Secretary of State for Education insults schools by saying "Teachers are there to teach children facts, not push the agendas of campaign groups." Horribly ironic as it is she &amp; PM politicising sex &amp; relationships ed which is really about safety and respect.

RT by @CarolineLucas: morbidly funny how the first of starmer's new pledges contrasts with the first of his old pledge card, the new third directly contradicts the old sixth, can also make a case for the new fifth versus the spirit of the old 4, 8 and 9

In the meantime folks, don't drink the water or worry about vanishing wildlife, flooded farms &amp; streets, rising food prices, cold, unaffordable homes &amp; dirty air cutting lives short or global climate change &amp; ecological breakdown. It's not 1997. When will

RT by @CarolineLucas: The ICJ is considering the South African application that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza again tomorrow. These are some of the binding provisional measures that the ICJ told Israel it must implement. I'm not going to get ahead of the court, but I think it's pretty clear that Israel has not abided by these measures (para 80 for instance). Israel may ignore any ruling, but the international and legal consequences, including for Israel's allies who are also bound by the Genocide Convention, may be far reaching. We'll see.

Thanks

- it was great to champion my favourite bird of all - the swift. It is so frustrating that there are sometimes really simple things this Govt could be doing to protect nature, and STILL they won't take action!
