RT by @CarolineLucas: Applause for @Carla_Denyer setting out that @TheGreenParty is the only party being honest that to protect & restore our NHS will require substantial investment - and we need to be ready to ask those with the broadest shoulders to pay modestly more in tax to fund this.

We've got a serious problem in this country. We've got Tories taking millions from fossil fuel lobby & bankrolling climate denial merchants of Tufton Street. Meanwhile Labour is selecting one as a candidate. It's a

💧Your party privatised water in 1989
💩Your government dodged responsibility for 14 years
🇬🇧68% of Conservative voters want public ownership

It is right to say that isn’t a party political matter but it is one about personal values and the solemn personal duty of being Prime Minister and it tells us that Rishi Sunak does not have the qualities and judgement required for his office.

We've got to invest what it takes to fix our NHS. The Tories have starved it of funding & run the service into the ground. NHS staff deserve a fair, decent wage and we should all be able to depend on the NHS for proper care. Claps don't cut it. We need real investment.
