Caroline Lucas is MP for Brighton, Pavilion

🚨 When Labour shifts right and Reform spreads fear — the Greens speak truth.
Watch me & Ellie on national TV taking the fight to those who make the poor poorer and the rich richer.
This is what credible leadership looks like.

The govt has already damaged trust with farmers by scrapping the SFI without warning. Now they’re slashing nature-friendly farming funding just when we need it most. Farmers need support to transition to nature-friendly practices—not more broken promises.

🧵The former head of NHS Test & Trace has told the Covid Inquiry many lives could have been saved if the government had given disadvantaged people more support to self-isolate.

This political failure had devastating consequences for many thousands.

When Trump plays politics with trade, our communities pay the price.
British businesses — already battered by Brexit — now face more chaos.
We need a government that will rebuild strong, stable ties with our closest neighbours — starting with the EU.

Using ⁦@CompassOffice⁩ data ⁦@GeorgeMonbiot⁩ explains why the two party system of the least bad option has to go.

“Reinstating winter fuel payments means nothing if the govt doesn’t keep its promise to fix cold, leaky homes. It’s like pouring water into a sieve,” says E3G’s James Dyson, urging Labour to deliver its £13.2bn Warm Homes Plan pledge.

More in @guardian:

@guardian More than 50 organisations have signed a joint letter urging the government to honour the full £13.2bn Warm Homes Plan, to cut bills, create jobs and protect the most vulnerable.

📄 Read the letter here:

More than 800 lawyers, academics and retired senior judges have written to the prime minister urging him to impose sanctions on the Israeli government.

We need to see definitive action from Keir Starmer to meet fundamental legal obligations to prevent and punish genocide in Gaza

Trump now says Putin is "absolutely crazy". But Putin has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian civilians because he thinks he'll face no consequences. Much tougher sanctions are urgently needed to bring him into serious peace talks to end this horrific war.

.@Nigel_Farage is lying. Our high energy bills are because we rely on expensive fossil fuels.

Be honest, you are only attacking net zero because that’s what your fossil fuel backers want. You are letting down people who need action on energy bills and security @reformparty_uk

🧵My thoughts on the @Nigel_Farage's speech.
Nigel has never lifted a finger to help working people — and he’s not going to start now.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up?

No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July.

Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

So we hear Angela Rayner has been giving Rachel Reeves ideas on how to change the tax system...

Here's one: how about a wealth tax on the super rich?

The UK's 50 richest families hold more wealth than 50% of the population. No more cruel cuts. It's time to tax wealth fairly.

In the @Guardian, I argue it’s time to take water companies into public ownership. For our health, our rivers, and the future of our environment — let’s end the sewage scandal for good. 🔗 #TakeBackOurWater #TogetherWeWin

If we are to reverse the terrifying state of nature in this country - fields doused in poison, woodlands being destroyed, sewage in our waterways - we must literally make a home for nature. Mandatory swift bricks is a small, but vitally important, step towards that.

My speech 👇

The @JustStop_Oil Stop activists who threw soup over the Van Gogh painting case to demand climate change action, are currently in prison.

Right now, the Getty Villa, museum of precious Greek and Roman artefacts, in LA, appears to be on fire.

#PacificPalisades

"We've got President Trump coming in saying he's going to ban wind farms and 'drill, baby drill.'"

Former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas tells @faisalislam that we need to "wake up" as she reacts to wildfires in LA which continue to blaze across the city.

#Newsnight

Underneath the (dramatic) headline, Green gains at the expense of Labour. First positive polling moves for them for a while I think.

Two years of extreme rain, followed by an extremely hot and dry year, meeting historic winds.

The fires in Los Angeles are the result of years of cascading extreme weather conditions created by carbon pollution from burning oil, gas, and coal.

Everyone needs to know that these fires were made possible by global heating, which is caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has lied and blocked action for half a century. And that this will all get much, much, much worse until we end the fossil fuel industry

I'm sure we'll see these threats utterly condemned by the UK politicians who have spent the last decade banging on about sovereignty....

🙄 but you’re still fuelling their business by refusing to offer an alternative, safe way for people to travel.

What are those people supposed to do? Disappear?

Nothing wrong w targeting financial assets of criminals, including smugglers.

But it won’t change the fact that people need to escape danger & there are no safe routes.

Squeezing boat supply chains so far has led to smugglers using poorer quality & flimsier boats🤷‍♀️ #r4today

🌍 The UK must lead on climate action. My Climate & Nature Bill (2nd reading 24 Jan) can make it happen - but we need Gov’t to not block this vital step. MPs must be free to vote with their hearts for our planet. 💚

“@Keir_Starmer faces pressure to allow a free vote on the Climate and Nature Bill—a Private Member's Bill led by @DrRozSavageMP. The #CANBill proposes raising the UK’s emissions reduction targets, restoring nature and creating a citizens' assembly.” @edie

I've been shocked by the outrageous smears being pushed by Elon Musk - not least against one of @TheGreenParty's hardworking councillors @MothinAli. We must stand up to this right-wing billionaire's attempt to subvert our democracy - here's how:

Thank you to these 108 MPs for pledging to vote for the Climate and Nature Bill at its Second Reading.

Together, we CAN make history on Friday 24 January.

Tell your MP to be there.

The Select Committee I sit on, the Environmental Audit Committee, is running an inquiry on flooding - very timely... We'd love to hear from members of the public. Details below re how to submit your views.

I’m live now with @MeganMcCubbin investigating the Cottesmore Hunt in Leicestershire – tune in! 🦊 @NhantsHuntsabs

Just heard @CarolineLucas on the radio asking for GCSE Natural History to be added to the curriculum in 2025 as her wish for the new year. Definitely…and about time.

@CarolineLucas @curlewcalls Great to hear you on Rare Earth on @BBCRadio4 today promoting the GCSE in Natural History Caroline. Hopefully, @UKLabour @bphillipsonMP will swiftly make this happen in time for inclusion on the Sep 2025 curriculum.

🗳️ As 2024 concludes, the Green Party has risen to 9% on average in polls - its highest since 1989 👇

As Gaie's MP I tried everything I could to challenge this decision to send her back to prison - including writing to the prisons minister Lord Timpson and the probation service.

Why on earth is this government releasing violent criminals early due to prison overcrowding, but…

Hello @Keir_Starmer I hope you’re having a good start to Christmas . I didn’t know who else to write to so I’m hoping you can help . Please make some calls & get this poor woman out of prison for Christmas . This doesn’t reflect well on the UK . Thanks #loveactually Please RT…

The RSPCA has been accused of a “failure of leadership” as @ChrisGPackham and @CarolineLucas resigned after undercover investigations revealed animal cruelty at the charity’s Assured abattoirs and farms. Story👇

It is with enormous sadness that I have resigned from my role as president of the RSPCA . I would like to register my respect and admiration for all the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect animals from cruelty . Thank you
