RT by @CarolineLucas: Pensioners shouldn't be paying the price for 14 years of Conservative austerity.

It's time the super-rich played their part through a fairer tax system.

Restore the winter fuel payment.

If Starmer cares about democracy, he should listen to the majority at
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23LabourConference24
who just voted to reverse decision on cutting winter fuel payments. His position is unfair, unnecessary, & now undemocratic as well

Don’t believe those who say there’s no money - there’s more than enough to address the climate crisis, if only the political will were found to mobilise it. Vital new report from

Depressing reflection of media priorities that focus is all on frocks &amp; football tickets, rather than on real obscenity - that Labour is accused of receiving £4m, its largest-ever donation, from a tax haven-based hedge fund with shares in oil and arms

If Jenrick needs some exs of Englishness, he could start with the Diggers &amp; Levellers, Tolpuddle martyrs, working people fighting for our rights against elites trying to prevent it eg at Peterloo - our history is far more inclusive &amp; radical than he knows

Exactly the hijacking of English identity I warn of in my book,

RT by @CarolineLucas: We're calling on the govt to clean up rivers affected by industrial poultry production.

Intensive farming has increased the levels of phosphates finding their way in to our rivers: devastating wildlife &amp; plants.

Companies mustn't profit from pollution

RT by @CarolineLucas: The UN General Assembly resolution on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory (GA 12626) was highly significant. Essentially, it operationalises the ICJ decision of earlier this year and gives Israel 12 months to leave. The UK govt claims to respect international law but abstained - not good enough.

[2024-09-20 10:20 UTC]

RT by @CarolineLucas: No country can be allowed to break international law with impunity. The attacks in Lebanon - widely presumed to be by Mossad - are killing civilians. The UK government should condemn them unequivocally, and robustly challenge Gallant's trumpeted 'new phase' in a deadly war.

Labour seriously proposing to learn lessons from Italy’s hard-right immigration plans?? Costly, dangerous &amp; completely unethical. Ministers should instead be pursuing a fair &amp; workable plan at home, based on safe routes &amp; upholding international law

the "disastrous" 2012 Act

RT by @CarolineLucas: In the #WinterFuelRobbery debate in Parliament. The tiny amount of opposition from Labour MPs is a disappointing sign they answer only to their whips – not to their constituents or their conscience. The Govt has a choice: it could create fair wealth taxes, not hurt pensioners.
