As we face multiple crises both at home and abroad, now more than ever, we need a fresh, progressive and inclusive story of what England is - and what it could be. My book on Another England is out 18 April - reviewed here by

Just voted in support of Lords amdts to Govt’s cruel, immoral & unworkable Rwanda bill. We lost - now back to Lords again who I hope will stand against this disgusting bill that undermines rule of law. Legislating to declare Rwanda is safe is authoritarian stain on UK democracy

I condemn Iranian attack on Israel but v worried PM is pitching us into war alongside an Israeli Govt which has breached international law & escalated tensions by bombing Iranian embassy. If UK serious about de-escalation, it must call for an immediate bilateral ceasefire in Gaza

After a year of war, Sudan faces one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent history. Thousands are dead, millions displaced & starving. Yet the UN response is woefully underfunded. UK must urgently step up diplomatic efforts to increase global funding.

Cameron says on
nitter.privacydev.net/search?q
he doesn't think anyone can criticise UK Govt response to people starving in Gaza- is he serious? If he faced questions in the Commons he would hear MPs' criticism loud and clear - above all that it is indefensible this Govt hasn't restored UNRWA funding

RT by @CarolineLucas: .@carla_denyer: the greens are calling for a suspension of arms sales to Israel. Carla was also the only politician doing the rounds this am prepared to point out the overnight Iranian attack was in response to Israel bombing their consulate, which is itself a breach of intl law

RT by @CarolineLucas: Sunak has now put the UK into a war with Iran on Israel’s side. With no discussion, no debate. Utterly reckless and irresponsible.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Very interesting to see so many Labour Party commentators dismissing the Green Party leader’s interview on solving the housing crisis today, while respected housing justice campaigners who live and breathe this issue every day are responding with clap emojis 🤔🧐

RT by @CarolineLucas: 💚 "The right kind of homes, in the right place, at the right price."

📺 @carla_denyer joined @bbclaurak this morning to talk about the Green Party's plan to create genuinely affordable housing that meets community needs.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Government announces a £35m package to halt & reverse the slow death of the River Wye.
Much to welcome here, but as @watsonchas notes: "There's a thundering silence on critically important actions such as banning new intensive livestock production units".

Sunak exposes his weakness by making up ‘honorific title’ of ‘Deputy’ Foreign Secretary. It is meaningless & does nothing to address outrageous fact that he appointed an unelected Foreign Secretary who MPs can’t question in Commons & all at time of grave international instability

Ever since Brexit I’ve wanted to write this book. Very excited that this time next week it will finally be published! We need better stories about who we are than the exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia of the Right. This is hopefully a start

The sheer cruelty of
nitter.privacydev.net/DWP
is off the charts - and against unpaid carers of all people. One of my constituents inadvertently went over payment threshold at an extremely traumatic time, offered to pay it back and had to pay £1300 fine on top or be prosecuted. Absolutely shameful.

I’ve heard so many reports of a toxic bullying culture at Royal Sussex County Hospital leading to serious long term failures & patient deaths & have repeatedly asked senior management for answers & action. Yet this is still not forthcoming. This cannot continue

Clearly not. Which is why we should just rejoin Erasmus and stop denying people in the UK these life changing opportunities.

I'm thinking of my constituents, friends and people everywhere living with Parkinson's. Everyone has their own journey with different symptoms but what everyone needs is for Ministers to do more. I'll keep working with

This makes for an incredibly depressing read. You would think our most precious and important nature reserves would be the most protected areas of all - yet this healthcheck from
nitter.privacydev.net/Campaign
finds the very opposite. They are in an even worse state than everywhere else.

Such grim irony. Now we hear Rwandan state airline refuses to fly our outsourced asylum seekers to Kigali due to reputational damage of doing so. Can barely keep up with the revelations showing how cruel &amp; wrong Sunak’s Rwanda policy is in both principle &amp; practice
