It’s worrying to hear Rachel Reeves talking about the need to control the size of the state

The idea of ‘big government’ came from right-wingers in the US

And has always been used as a justification to cut funding to public services and lay the groundwork for privatization

@jraa77 @CarolineLucas I’m really interested in where these urban myths come from

Can you let me know your sources?

My EU friends and contacts give the opposite view

Although a strong and stable majority in favour of membership would be essential

An extraordinary achievement and I feel very proud of Greens in the German government driving their rapid energy transition
RT @GermanEmbassy: When Russia began its war of aggression against Ukraine, Germany's energy imports from Russia looked like this:

Gas: 55%
Coal: 50%
Oil: 30%

As of 2023, they look like this:

Gas: 0%
Coal: 0%
Oil: 0%

(% of imports from Russia)

A majority now think we should rejoin the EU

Young people understand most how much they have lost through leaving

Don’t listen to the siren voices saying it can’t happen

As Brexit disasters emerge on every side, we must recommit to our determination to #RejoinEU

Government is announcing its future support for energy sector today

This was an obvious opportunity to create incentives for industry to achieve greater energy efficiency

Another chance to advance the green transition missed by this incompetent government

Government's refusal to negotiate with unions as the country grinds to a halt is is intolerable

After 12 years of cuts, all of us working in public service know that #EnoughIsEnough

We need to #TaxTheRich to fund our public services

@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

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

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

@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
