“Young people…know just how broken Britain’s frontline services are. The economy is not working for them. They have been priced out of the housing market & are struggling to fund their education. Now is the moment to be ambitious”

“Labour & Conservatives would rather hide their plans for cuts to public services than confront the need for a fairer tax system – the very wealthiest in society have grown even wealthier over the last 14 years.”

Brexit has trashed our democracy as well as our economy
But we can change our electoral system—and we can rejoin the EU

RT by @CarolineLucas: The Green Party’s wealth tax just makes sense.
Poverty is soaring, devastating the lives of our children. Our public services in desperate need of investment.
Main parties are being dishonest about fixing it, the question is WHO pays @TheGreenParty say the very richest #r4today

Our manifesto launched today! The housing pledges include introducing rent controls & ending right to buy, as well as a huge programme to provide grants for the proper insulation of all homes & public buildings like schools & hospitals

RT by @CarolineLucas: Lot of tributes from top environmentalists tonight to a visibly emotional @CarolineLucas
In her speech, the UK’s first Green party MP criticised the Tories’ “lurch to the hard right” & said Labour was dodging “difficult questions” on climate. Story 👇

RT by @CarolineLucas: "They are being so cowardly right now."
Former Green MP Caroline Lucas criticises Labour, saying the role of the Greens is to push Labour to adopt more progressive policies - and adds: "They bloody well need it, frankly!"

"A slogan is not a plan" says PM who has the meaningless 3 word Trumpian slogan 'stop the boats' emblazoned all over his lecturns & has been repeating it endlessly whilst presiding over Rwanda legislation that is illegal, ineffective, expensive, immoral & degrades the uk

Extraordinary - no mention of tackling the
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23ClimateCrisis
here - just more stoking of Tory culture wars. Delivering on our climate targets isn't a cost, but an *opportunity* to create decent jobs, generate prosperity, restore nature, clean up our air & secure a liveable future👇

How dare Sunak suggest the Tories have reduced child poverty when
https://nitter.privacydev.net/jrf_uk
find 1 million children experiencing destitution with major increase since 2017. He should scrap cruel 2-child limit because doing so would lift 300,000 children out of the dire poverty his govt has created
[2024-06-11 11:48 UTC]
On schools, Sunak seems strangely unaware that 70% of schools in England have less funding in real terms than in 2010 - nothing in his speech to reverse this terrible situation, pay teachers properly and fix crumbling buildings
[2024-06-11 11:28 UTC]
Just yesterday Sunak admits it's got harder to get on housing ladder under Tories, yet announces a relaunch of counterproductive Tory ‘help to buy’ schemes that have driven up prices & made the problem worse by stoking demand & doing nothing re lack of homes.
This doesn't help🤦

Regardless of PM's truth-twisting - the best way to deliver energy security is by properly unleashing renewables & rolling out a nationwide energy efficiency programme - cutting both bills & emissions. Not doubling-down on planet-heating fossil fuels & nuclear white 🐘
