"A slogan is not a plan" says PM who has the meaningless 3 word Trumpian slogan 'stop the boats' emblazoned all over his lecturns & has been repeating it endlessly whilst presiding over Rwanda legislation that is illegal, ineffective, expensive, immoral & degrades the uk

Extraordinary - no mention of tackling the
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23ClimateCrisis
here - just more stoking of Tory culture wars. Delivering on our climate targets isn't a cost, but an *opportunity* to create decent jobs, generate prosperity, restore nature, clean up our air & secure a liveable future👇

How dare Sunak suggest the Tories have reduced child poverty when
https://nitter.privacydev.net/jrf_uk
find 1 million children experiencing destitution with major increase since 2017. He should scrap cruel 2-child limit because doing so would lift 300,000 children out of the dire poverty his govt has created

On schools, Sunak seems strangely unaware that 70% of schools in England have less funding in real terms than in 2010 - nothing in his speech to reverse this terrible situation, pay teachers properly and fix crumbling buildings

[2024-06-11 11:28 UTC]

Just yesterday Sunak admits it's got harder to get on housing ladder under Tories, yet announces a relaunch of counterproductive Tory ‘help to buy’ schemes that have driven up prices &amp; made the problem worse by stoking demand &amp; doing nothing re lack of homes.
This doesn't help🤦

Regardless of PM's truth-twisting - the best way to deliver energy security is by properly unleashing renewables &amp; rolling out a nationwide energy efficiency programme - cutting both bills &amp; emissions. Not doubling-down on planet-heating fossil fuels &amp; nuclear white 🐘

Genuinely gutted 🙁 Dockerills is part of the fabric of

. It's hard to imagine them gone. This special place is a synonym for all things hardware. You needed keys cutting, random tools, cleaning products, door knobs, broomsticks? The answer was always Dockerills

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucas, "Having Greens in parliament will push Keir Starmer to be a bit braver and a bit bolder"

"Where is the £28 billion for the green economy.. Why isn't Labour talking about wealth taxes" @CarolineLucas

RT by @CarolineLucas: "They are being so cowardly right now."

Former Green MP Caroline Lucas criticises Labour, saying the role of the Greens is to push Labour to adopt more progressive policies - and adds: "They bloody well need it, frankly!"

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucus(Green): "I think we need to have a debate about the impact of brexit. I can't bear the fact that Nigel Farage keeps getting away with no one asking him about his last mad adventure, before he starts trying to take Britain down the path of a new one.."

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucas, "Keir Starmer is not offering hope at this election.. People are voting for Labour to try and keep the Tories out"

"We know there are going to be public spending cuts.. The two big parties aren't being honest about that.. Labour are saying they don't have a magic money tree.. Yet there are political choices.. It is perfectly possible to levy a tax on the super wealthy which we could use to fund our public services"

Well said @CarolineLucas 👏

RT by @CarolineLucas: Asked about the plight of people in their 30s who can't afford to rent - let alone buy! - Sunak has no answers for Britain's renters, in fact he wouldn't even acknowledge there's a problem. We deserve better - time for real change to our broken private rented sector. #panorama

RT by @CarolineLucas: Sunak &amp; @bbcnickrobinson had a substantive debate @BBCPanorama just now. But there was one glaring omission. Brexit.
The UK has indeed been hit hard by external factors: financial crisis, Covid, Ukraine war. But leaving the EU continues to cost the UK dearly. And Sunak backed it

[2024-06-10 19:43 UTC]

Brexit is the elephant in the room parties don't want to talk about - especially Reform. Farage says we're skint but won't say what a disaster he helped cause through Brexit. We can't let him get away with it.

Lovely thread -

Maybe because Greens are offering real hope &amp; real change - eg rent controls so that young people can afford a decent roof over their heads; investment in public services paid for through higher taxes on the wealthiest and urgent action on climate &amp; nature for a liveable future👇
