Chilling murder of Navalny is horrifying showcase of Putin's brutality. UK Govt needs to do more: enforce & extend sanctions, end dirty money still sloshing around London & finally investigate interference in our elections following

War, what is it good for? Fossil fuel companies.
BP & Shell made combined £75bn profit since invasion of Ukraine, as people die in homes they can't afford to heat.
Obscene.

Critical time to write to your MP to ask them to support Wednesday's motion on

RT by @CarolineLucas: Some issues should and do transcend party politics.
Unless and until we hold the current Israeli government to account -tragically made up of the far right , the extreme right and the self confessed fascist right nothing will change.
We are realising now that neither we nor the US have any influence or sway over Netanyahu and it’s therefore time for a different approach.
Decades of appeasement of Netanyahu and his extremist cabinet colleagues has simply emboldened him - Israelis including ex IDF soldiers, ex Israeli intelligence officers and Palestinians alike have been warning us and we failed to heed their calls.
I welcome >@FCDOGovUK decision to sanction settlers and we must now go further.
A political solution requires two partners for peace - those partners are neither Hamas nor Netanyahu and his extremist government and we must be brave enough to say this.

What unimaginable heartbreak for Palestine's Ambassador to UK

The UK’s role in arming the Israeli military must stop. I’ve been calling for this since I was first elected as an MP & the case has never been stronger - I’ve therefore added my name to this important petition. Please join me.

As I said: "Surely it's time to stop all arm shipments to Israel... and implement targeted sanctions against members of the Israeli leadership."

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🏘️ 3.17 million households were in fuel poverty in England in 2023 according to new data.
🤯 Yet Labour and the Conservatives don't have a plan to tackle it.
💚 Only the Green Party will invest properly in renewables and insulation to bring down bills and emissions FAST.

So Britain's self-styled "first green Chancellor" takes climate sceptic money, then drops £28bn pledge? What's next, just abandon net zero altogether? Never been more vital to have Green MPs.

Labour sounding just like the Tories now - saying they can't invest because it's "fiscally irresponsible".
Nothing is more irresponsible than failing to invest now in liveable homes and a liveable planet.
