🚨Urgent & deeply worrying news - Iranian citizen #MohammadGhobadlou, arrested protesting for human rights, has been moved to a solitary prison & could be executed within hours. @FCDOGovUK you *must* step in & urge embassy @Iran_in_UK to stop this execution

Solidarity with local BBC journalists today @NUJofficial ✊ Local radio is the lifeblood of our media - keeping people informed, telling powerful stories, holding politicians to account. These local radio cuts must be resisted.

Glitzy ads from fossil fuel giants can no longer conceal climate criminal behaviour – polluting the planet, raking in record profits & sanitising their image. The mask has finally been removed, but this greenwashing was allowed to spread for far too long.

Pleased to join forces with young people demanding bolder climate & nature action. The Climate & Ecology Bill, which I first introduced into Parliament in 2020, is a critical framework to keep 1.5C alive, & urgently restore our natural world #CEBill👇 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/caroline-lucas-prime-minister-mps-mayor-uk-government-b1085748.html

Insulting verbiage from Minister. Says #CovidInquiry alone can judge relevance of material then says Govt will in fact judge it. Says he respects Hallett then takes her inquiry to court. PM is undermining public confidence, hurting bereaved families & stopping us learning lessons

Halting & reversing nature’s decline is critical to our survival. The Climate & Ecology Bill, which I first introduced to Parliament in 2020, will protect & restore our precious natural world before it’s too late. #CEBill

10 years ago I was arrested for protesting in opposition to #fracking in #Balcombe standing up to the fossil fuel drilling giants. Today Balcombe residents say no yet again. Support their Judicial Review crowdfunder to stop climate-wrecking oil drilling👇

Govt is taking a wrecking ball to our environment - failing to stop sewage scandal, pushing reckless #REULBill & approving 100+ new oil & gas licences. This #WorldEnvironmentDay Govt must change tack - & start by backing #CEBill to protect & restore nature for future generations.

Nuclear is agonisingly slow (#SizewellC not ready for at least 13-17 years) & staggeringly expensive (#HinkleyC costs £33 billion) - meanwhile wind & solar are cheapest forms of electricity & ready to go *right now*. Starmer pushing wrong priorities, at wrong time, at wrong price

So exciting to see plans for England’s first ever basic income pilot. We need big, bold ideas to provide security & dignity for all – to tackle poverty, help job security, improve wellbeing & transform society. Govt can no longer ignore it @basicincome_uk

'Covid attacked a sick population and a weakened health and social care service. Osborne was ruthless in his benefit cuts . . . How were the lowest paid supposed to stay home on sick pay that is still the lowest in the OECD?'

Unforgivable for Sunak Govt to disrupt #CovidInquiry with Judicial Review to prevent release of Johnson Whatsapps/diaries. Govt set up Inquiry & must trust Baroness Hallett's judgement about what’s relevant & what’s published. A huge insult to bereaved, NHS & care staff & us all

UK citizen & activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah has been unlawfully imprisoned by Egyptian authorities for 10 years. COP27 last year was chance to secure Alaa’s release, yet Govt failed to take it. 7 months on he remains behind bars. Why is Sunak letting this injustice go on?
