RT by @CarolineLucas: Of all the arguments against inheritance tax, the "it's a double tax" one seems most baffling. If a bit later I go and buy a coffee, I'll be paying VAT on a purchase financed by money already subject to income tax and NI. What's so special about IHT?

RT by @CarolineLucas: 📢 Transparency WIN! 👀

After three years of parliamentary questions and an FOI nudge, the govt has published the 'business case' for @OfficeforEP

It sets out the many benefits of this important body.

This will come in handy to combat any attempts to weaken the watchdog.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Public registers of beneficial ownership in the UK's offshore jurisdictions are vital to crack down on money laundering, people trafficking, terrorism & drug smuggling.

We cannot kick this into the long grass, MPs have written to @David_Cameron to get this issue over the line.

RT by @CarolineLucas: "Do you ever lie awake worrying about wealth inequality?'"

Wealth taxes are such a crucial way of reducing inequality in this country.

The Tories and the Labour Party have both ruled them out.

@TheGreenParty will continue to make the case as they're vital to a fairer society.

I've tabled a 'reasoned amendment' to try & halt the Govt's plan to require annual oil and gas licencing rounds.
It's unnecessary, won’t bring down bills or deliver energy security, and is economic & environmental madness.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Ahead of today's vote, a group of foreign policy and military experts, including a former chief of the UK Armed Forces, are calling on @David_Cameron to support an immediate ceasefire at the UN Security Council. Not doing so will equal an abdication of political and moral duty.

There's a glaring gap between what we needed at

&amp; what we got. We didn't see full &amp; fair fossil fuel phaseout; there are gigantic, technofix-laden loopholes; &amp; rich countries still aren't paying a fair share of climate finance. UK Govt has a lot of lost ground to make up.

I’ve been pushing Govt to appoint new Minister for Disabled People - shocked to learn they're scrapping it. Disabled people need their *own* Minister to address challenges, discrimination &amp; to champion their rights. Shocking downgrade of representation &amp; at time of such hardship.

Climate Minister says it was a "privilege" to attend

UK may have pledged £60m to the historic Loss &amp; Damage Fund - but in this instance recycling isn't green! It’s taken from existing climate finance pot, which in turn comes from an already-slashed overseas aid budget. Robbing Peter to pay Paul isn’t climate justice
