Evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing

RT by @CarolineLucas: It was a privilege on Saturday to be elected co-President with Caroline Lucas of the U.K. European Movement.
We come from different political traditions but are united in believing that our country's wellbeing is dependant on rebuilding our relationships with our European neighbours who share our values. I look forward to working with Caroline and Mike Galsworthy it's Chair in furthering its work.
We were also given a rousing valedictory address by Michael Heseltine. His long career spans the entirety of the life of the EM since its foundation. It gives us confidence that the dismal consequences of Brexit for our country are a transient phenomenon that we can and will overcome.

Delighted to join Dominic as new Co-Presidents of European Movement. With election of Trump, it’s more urgent than ever that UK government puts its values before narrow short term economic interests, & rebuilds relationship with EU

RT by @CarolineLucas: "Grassroots" campaigns against assisted dying are being secretly coordinated and paid for by religious pressure groups. They claim to be led by healthcare professionals and disabled people - but have concealed ties to conservative Christian lobbyists

RT by @CarolineLucas: This takes apart the slippery slope argument. And identifies that the certainties of Kim’s Bill is much better and safer than the uncertainties of the current law. https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/68566/time-to-end-slippery-slope-of-assisted-dying

“For the health secretary to threaten that passing this law might mean treatments being denied to others is up there in the dishonesty levels with that “£350m a week for the NHS” Brexit campaign promise.” 👏

RT by @CarolineLucas: The official Western narrative on Israel's genocidal mayhem will not die.
No matter how obscene the crime, how depraved the atrocity, this fortress will not fall.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Green MPs have written to Foreign Secretary about Govt's position on genocide in Gaza.
We want to know if they’ve carried out any kind of assessment of serious risk & to know at what point they think UK's obligation to prevent genocide will be triggered. We'll share response.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Rachel Reeves’ poverty of ambition https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11/14/rachel-reeves-poverty-of-ambition/ Reeves wants to take the savings of the UK’s local council employees out of the hands of the local authority that employs them and pass them to mega funds in the City of London, whom she would like to use 5% of the funds to invest locally. Apart from undermining local authorities and distancing local people from their money, what could go wrong? Let’s start with the fact that this money will now be aligned against climate change and the government and move on from there…
