RT by @CarolineLucas: I hope friends and colleagues in @UKLabour will read this by @CarolineLucas. If a radical liberal Green can write about England sympathetically and with insight and progressive values then so, surely, can we.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Publication day for Another England, by the always-inspirational @CarolineLucas — a book that tells another story about England & Englishness. I read it in proof: it’s brilliant. It delves deep & ranges wide, and re-thinks land, belonging & place in vital, urgent ways.

This Govt has completely turned its back on renters. Millions suffer as they delay and cut dirty backroom deals to weaken reforms to appease Tory backbenchers. That's why I've laid a motion in Parliament demanding better for renters. My piece in

We can’t let England’s stories be written by cheerleaders for exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia. Progressives need to tell better, more inclusive stories about who we are & who we can be. I was on

For 2nd time this week, I just voted to back the Lords amendments to the Govt's repugnant
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23RwandaBill
. Lost again. But there's no defending it - it's inhumane, illegal & ineffective all in one. Now back to Lords to keep up fight to lessen the sheer cruelty of this shameful bill.

Sunak actually says with an attempt at a triumphant flourish "vote Conservative for a brighter future for Britain" - apparently oblivious to the implicit admission of the dire state of things after 14 years of the Tories in power

How insular this country has become. As Gaza starves and tensions in Middle East threaten to spill over, there's not a mention from Sunak and Starmer, who are more interested in trading jibes over Truss and Rayner.

There's only one loser if we succeed in passing this bill and it's Big Tobacco. We have the chance to take a giant leap forward for UK public health by wiping out smoking in a generation. We should take it.

New minister, same disastrous policy on oil and gas. Approving new fields like Rosebank is not only terrible for UK efforts on climate change, it does absolutely nothing to improve our energy security either.

Clean air should be a human right for everyone - but clearly it's a right this Government doesn't think people in the UK deserve. Rather than pass urgently needed legislation to save lives and clean up our dirty, toxic air, they actively rescind funding for first time in 27 years
