Caroline Lucas is MP for Brighton, Pavilion

"For children who die unnecessarily due to air pollution, for families who lose loved ones to dementia, cancer, heart disease and other things caused and made worse by dirty air..."

Independent experts today urged the UK 🇬🇧 not to ban the “direct action” group @Pal_action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.

“Acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as #terrorism.”

All four Green MPs voted against this cruel mistake of a Bill.

To those worried about what this result means, we will continue to vote against it, and stand against any proposals that seek to save money by impoverishing those already struggling to get by.

Solidarity always 💚

Those who are sick and injured or Disabled today and in the future need our solidarity, and from Greens they will get it.

This rushed, shameful, cruel Bill must fall.

Fantastic to see @sianberry highlighting our report ‘A breath of fresh air’ during her 10 minute rule motion on clean air.

Urgent action on air quality is needed if we are to reduce avoidable deaths and improve population health across the country.

Thanks to all our supporters who joined our nuclear weapons spending action earlier! We'll be back at the Pyramid stage at 16.10 to hear CND Vice-President @CarolineLucas give our speech. Make sure to be there if you're attending! #Glastonbury2025

Caroline Lucas on the Pyramid stage at @glastonbury calling out UK govt for failing to call the Gaza genocide a #Genocide

'We want an end to the weapons sale to Israel!'

Political pressure means a reprieve for some who were set to be cruelly harmed, but this is way too small a concession to accept.

Greens demand the full withdrawal of cuts to PIP and any changes only through working with Disabled people to get it right.

🤑 According to Oxfam the richest 1% globally has gained at least $33.9tn - enough to end global poverty 22 times over.

📈 Meanwhile, the rest of us get benefit cuts, crumbling public services and ever-increasing bills.

⚖️ We must tax the super-rich to close the inequality gap.

Keir Starmer has decided to buy 12 F-35A fighter jets from the USA.

They can carry nuclear bombs with more than three times the explosive power of the weapon dropped on Hiroshima.

Not only that, they would be entirely controlled by Donald Trump...

What could possibly go wrong?

UK fighter jets carrying Donald Trump’s nuclear bombs—is this anyone’s vision of security?

We should be leading efforts to reduce and eliminate nuclear arsenals, not investing further in these horrific weapons to satisfy the loose cannon Trump administration.

The UK millionaire population grew 10 times faster than the rate of millionaires leaving the UK since 2017.

41,400 millionaires supposedly left since 2017, but there are 435,000 more millionaires in the UK today.

The news is reporting a millionaire "exodus" today that never was

🚨 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.

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.

"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.

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.
