@SamJRushworth @TheGreenParty Have you looked at the polls recently?
I don’t think our systems for referenda are protected against manipulation by oligarchs, sadly
But I don’t think we’d be accepted back unless there was clear evidence of popular support

@Owain4Hale @ButlersKeeper @TheGreenParty From colleagues who are still members of the European Parliament and from Greens in government in various European countries

@markwhiley @TheGreenParty As soon as there is a clear and stable majority to want to be in membership

Lisa Nandy warns Labour voters any idea of reversing Brexit is a 'fantasy'
@TheGreenParty is clear: we want to rejoin as soon as political conditions are right
If you're part of nearly 60% majority that agrees with us, you know what to do

Yesterday was the 50-year anniversary of our joining the EU
How much did you hear about it?
Poor journalism is one of the reasons we made the disastrous decision to leave in 2016
Let’s challenge journalists to cover European issues professionally in 2023

One of the most experienced doctors working in our A&E system says 500 people may be dying every week because of the NHS crisis
These deaths are on the Tory government
12 years of austerity and mounting chaos and neglect

The fact that we’re failing to take action on climate change while Tuvalu is rebuilding itself on Zuckerberg’s metaverse tells you everything that’s wrong with our world
We need to reconnect with reality - and urgently
And challenge the power of global oligarchs

There’s lots of chat about whether you feel optimism or pessimism about 2023
For me what matters is neither of those but courage
I’m taking as my mantra the need to defend what matters to me and celebrate, cherish and… https://mastodonapp.uk/@Molly/109613791610835295

‘We’re only seeing the negative’: UK farmers on Brexit and losing the common agricultural policy
As MEP for South West England, a rural area with a strong farming constituency, I tried so hard to make this case
But SW voters still chose to leave the EU

Sunak hires James Forsyth as political secretary
An old friend of PM, who was reportedly best man at Forsyth’s wedding to Allegra Stratton, Boris Johnson’s press secretary who resigned over the Partygate scandal
The circle just gets smaller and smaller

@GreenPartyJack You have to train the part of you that's keeping an eye on you even when you're asleep that the jolting around isn't really a risk to you. It does take a bit of practice but then you'll find you sleep like a baby

Brexit costs government £40bn a year in lost tax revenue
That is more than enough to pay all public-sector workers enough to keep up with inflation
Brexit has broken Britain

Somewhere on Mars a machine will collect together some dead, barren rocks
Meanwhile here on earth, life flourishes in abundance but is being exterminated by human activity
How can people get excited about the first but ignore the second?
This blows my mind

‘Economists have been puzzling over the reasons for the UK’s shrinking workforce’
Perhaps they should try working in a job where you get treated with no respect, have more and more work piled on you every year, and have your real pay cut

😡 Without Brexit 'GDP would now be £120bn higher and tax revenues up some £50bn. Far from the £350m a week more for the NHS, we have £1bn a week less'

Tories’ pitiful strategy to ‘attack workers; attack Labour’ is a miserable failure

We know that we need our nurses and other public service workers
We know they deserve a decent wage
We stand with them
