European Movement UK has launched a petition calling for the UK to join the EU single market. Six years outside our largest trading partner has meant more barriers, more costs and lost growth for British businesses. It is time to repair the damage.

I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party

"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it."

Caroline Lucas: Scotland, we need to talk about how we can take on the far right I’ll be discussing what I learned while campaigning in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and how we can take on the far right together

If Scotland were to design a modern democratic constitution &, with it, return to the EU, then perhaps England would find a way to follow. My piece for @scotnational.bsky.social ahead of public meetings in Edinburgh & Glasgow next week - makehopepossible.org/tickets

US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called β€˜allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.

Graphic with CND logo and picture of Caroline Lucas. Text reads: Caroline Lucas: why you should join CND’s protest at RAF Marham on  February 28. "β€œCND’s rally at RAF Marham is a vital moment to demonstrate our opposition to the Government’s reckless decision to expand this country’s nuclear capabilities.  

This decision, taken without any parliamentary debate, puts the UK in breach of the nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, ties us even more closely to a lawless and unpredictable US President, and undermines our national security.   It’s essential to make loud and 
clear that this is not being done 
in our name.”

Our new climate: adapting to survive – and thrive We can’t just react to crises. Strategic adaptation is vital to move from constant disaster recovery to lasting national resilience

Scientists warn our rainfall extremes are decades ahead of models. Prof Rupert Read says our focus should be on nature restoration, flood resilience and community strength as immediate defences against mounting disruption that’s already happening.

Government accused of caving in to building lobby amid plans to shake up housing sector in England New changes to planning rules would limit scope of English councils and prevent them pursuing improvements to low-carbon homes

Preventing local authorities from pursuing the most ambitious environmental standards that go beyond current, inadequate building regulations for greener homes is shameful & shortsighted, & cheats people out of warm, energy efficient homesπŸ‘‡
