RT by @CarolineLucas: This Government has seen the NHS fall to its knees, and Labour promises little better.
The Green Party will defend your right to free, timely, quality, public healthcare, staffed by decently paid health professionals.
We’ll properly fund the NHS through a fairer tax system.

The Govt waited for most MPs to go back to their constituencies to dodge scrutiny & hold an important debate on our national travel networks. There is a huge transport sized gap in the UK's plans to cut emissions and reach net zero and this policy does nothing to change that.👇

Having campaigned alongside all three women, I've seen first-hand how deeply they care about our local community. We need as many bold and ambitious Green MPs like them as we can get to demand better for Brighton & Hove, better for Britain and better for our one, precious planet.

The Govt keeps citing 200,000 UK oil and gas jobs to justify pumping more planet-heating fossil fuels. But that number is far higher than official ONS stats, nobody can verify it and it comes - you've guessed it - directly from the oil & gas lobby itself.

All the evidence shows how rapidly the climate emergency is escalating. Yet despite all the warnings, the fossil fuel industry is fighting harder than ever to defend its vested interests. Their endless quest for profit must not be allowed to trump our future on a liveable planet

The climate and nature emergencies are indivisibly linked and simply cannot wait. That's why I'm co-sponsoring the Climate and Nature Bill, which was introduced in the Commons yesterday, to push for urgent action and ambition.

Not just 'other parties' but specifically Green MPs to stand up in Parliament for our planet, for peace and for ordinary people. Because otherwise, as
