Sunak exposes his weakness by making up ‘honorific title’ of ‘Deputy’ Foreign Secretary. It is meaningless & does nothing to address outrageous fact that he appointed an unelected Foreign Secretary who MPs can’t question in Commons & all at time of grave international instability

Ever since Brexit I’ve wanted to write this book. Very excited that this time next week it will finally be published! We need better stories about who we are than the exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia of the Right. This is hopefully a start url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/eegdCGv3jf18…

The sheer cruelty of DWP is off the charts - and against unpaid carers of all people. One of my constituents inadvertently went over payment threshold at an extremely traumatic time, offered to pay it back and had to pay £1300 fine on top or be prosecuted. Absolutely shameful.

This looks great 👀 Do go along if you can 😊

BREAKING: President Macron has launched the new French end-of-life care bill, branded as “the biggest societal reform of his second term”. It combines + 1.1 billion € funding for palliative care, as well as assisted dying for terminally ill and mentally competent adults.

“Human health and the health of the planet are inextricably linked, and that if we persist with what he calls ‘a system without a soul’, alienation and unhappiness will inevitably result.”

I’ve heard so many reports of a toxic bullying culture at Royal Sussex County Hospital leading to serious long term failures & patient deaths & have repeatedly asked senior management for answers & action. Yet this is still not forthcoming. This cannot continue #Brighton

Clearly not. Which is why we should just rejoin Erasmus and stop denying people in the UK these life changing opportunities. European Movement UK

On #WorldParkinsonsDay I'm thinking of my constituents, friends and people everywhere living with Parkinson's. Everyone has their own journey with different symptoms but what everyone needs is for Ministers to do more. I'll keep working with
Parkinson's UK to demand better

This makes for an incredibly depressing read. You would think our most precious and important nature reserves would be the most protected areas of all - yet this healthcheck from Campaign for National Parks finds the very opposite. They are in an even worse state than everywhere else.

Such grim irony. Now we hear Rwandan state airline refuses to fly our outsourced asylum seekers to Kigali due to reputational damage of doing so. Can barely keep up with the revelations showing how cruel & wrong Sunak’s Rwanda policy is in both principle & practice

ECHR ruling on Swiss women's case that their human rights were violated by climate inaction is huge. Pay attention UK Government...your failure to act is putting lives here in the UK at risk too - and it is morally and legally indefensible.

It is so frustrating that this fossil fuel loving Govt has been moving at snail pace on solar. The untapped potential just from our rooftops is huge - up to 117GW. But last year total solar capacity rose just 1GW to 15.3GW. Great report from CPRE The countryside charity on how we can turn this around.

It is beyond moving to see the way Sub-Postmasters & mistresses are still supporting each other like family, 15 years after that first meet up in Fenny Compton village hall. It is a stain on our nation how hard these brave, innocent people are still having to fight for justice.

My my!

“What does it mean to be English? Caroline Lucas has some unexpected answers” - thanks so much ⁦Francisco Garcia⁩ for a really thoughtful review of #AnotherEngland inews.co.uk/culture/books/…

Radical right-wing charities on Tufton Street, like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, are constantly spreading harmful climate change disinformation & denial. What does the Charity Commission do to stop them? Nothing. So we're taking them to court 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…
