RT by @CarolineLucas: Tens of thousands of people came from rivers & seas across the country to march through London in the biggest water demonstration in UK history. It was so large that people were still leaving the Albert Embankment as the procession entered Parliament Square.

All those marching on the @MarchforWater had a simple message: we need real action for clean water & we need it now.

RT by @CarolineLucas: the £3 billion annual cost of extending the 5p fuel duty cut is roughly equivalent to the annual fare take of every bus in England — £3.1 billion in 2023. so you could nearly make every bus free for the same cost https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/bus-statistics-data-tables#government-support-for-the-bus-industry-and-concessionary-travel-england-bus05

RT by @CarolineLucas: The stark reality of genocide for Palestinians in Gaza is dismissed by Keir Starmer at #PMQs when raised by @TheGreenParty’s @carla_denyer.

As Palestinians face annihilation &amp; elimination, as Israel dismantles UNRWA, never have our politicians looked so spineless &amp; complicit.

[2024-10-30 14:00 UTC]

RT by @CarolineLucas: NEW: Greens co-leader and MP Carla Denyer asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer 'how much more evidence' he needs before calling out atrocities in the Middle East as 'a genocide' at PMQs

Watch his response below 👇

[2024-10-30 12:52 UTC]

RT by @CarolineLucas: Gaza is experiencing a severe, ongoing humanitarian crisis. Banning the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the largest provider of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian population, is an act of genocide.

Rather than wringing their hands over this criminal decision by the Israeli government, it is time for the UK government and the international community to act.

We must now see the suspension of arms sales to Israel, and the introduction of divestments, boycotts, sanctions and prosecutions for all those on all sides of the escalating conflict in the Middle East who have committed war crimes.

I FOI'd HMRC for details &amp; found this tax break is worth *at least* £68m &amp; likely far more

RT by @CarolineLucas: Even the Tories wouldn't have done this. The major ecological problem on Dartmoor is sheep grazing, and the associated burning and deforestation. It's like appointing the chief executive of Exxon as head of the Climate Change Committee. A breath-taking conflict of interest.

[2024-10-29 15:20 UTC]

RT by @CarolineLucas: Israel has voted to ban Unrwa, the UN's relief agency, from the country, effectively blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

How much more evidence is needed before the UK Government, and others, act on this genocide?

RT by @CarolineLucas: I'm delighted to announce that I have been appointed to the Environmental Audit Committee, following in the footsteps of @CarolineLucas who served on the committee for many years💚

It's really important work and I'm excited to get started at our first meeting this afternoon!
