Despite their shocking performance, greedy water companies think they can continue to turn the screws & milk the public cash cow dry. My piece in the

on why we should end this scam and bring water back into public ownership.

With the right increasingly choosing to weaponise climate change as part of their dangerous & reckless culture war, it's never been more important that we tell more compelling and inspiring stories about what we can and must achieve together.

Today I asked my final question as an MP to
https://nitter.privacydev.net/David_Cameron
: Do you agree with the US Govt that no red lines have been crossed or is the UK Govt prepared to call out the attacks on Rafah as clear war crimes and in breach of international humanitarian law?

Water companies have paid £78bn to shareholders rather than invest in infrastructure. They've streamed torrents of raw sewage into our waters. Now Ofwat isn't even going to make them pay their fines? Could there be a better example of a regulatory capture than Ofwat?

The sheer arrogance of Wes Streeting as he indulges in a game of fantasy politics - making out he can clear waiting lists by throwing money at the private sector, when what we desperately need is a fairer tax system to invest properly in NHS staff & facilities.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 10 years after the Govt sold off @RoyalMail (losing us £750 million in 1 day when shares were undervalued) it has been run into the ground. In #Brighton 48% of letters arrive late, assets are neglected and posties undervalued. #privatisationfail #weownit https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/28/royal-mail-shareholders-braced-for-final-takeover-offers

RT by @CarolineLucas: PFI was a failure that still costs public service budgets dearly. And Labour’s NHS plans are full of MORE creeping privatisation.
In Brighton, concern for the future of the #NHS is huge. People here don’t want a Labour govt without Green MPs to defend it. #privatisationfail

US Adminstration: Israel attack on Rafah did not cross red lines. That’s same attack that hit tents in official “safe” area, killing at least 40 Palestinians.

RT by @CarolineLucas: So many people in Brighton are telling me the future of the NHS is their top concern in the election.
They do NOT want a Labour govt without Green MPs there to defend the NHS and its founding principles from this kind of attack. It’s a key reason they will 🗳️💚 #VoteGreen.

Rachel Reeves refusing to rule out cuts to public services isn’t the big change we need. And so disappointing not to hear her advocate for a wealth tax on the ultra rich to help create a fairer future for us all - this is at 💚 of Green plans for

RT by @CarolineLucas: The gall of Cleverly saying forced national service will tackle fragmentation - no mention of the impact of divisive Tory breaking up of public services and austerity. Young people have rights to good housing, climate action and well paid jobs with a future. Not this. #BBCLauraK

I asked
