The Earth has heated up more in the past 30 years than it did in the previous 110 – and that will only accelerate further over the next 30. On climate, as the US campaigner Bill McKibben famously observed, winning slowly is the same as losing.

Inexplicably, Starmer seems intent on losing.

'The gaslighting of a nation has finally come to an end',

says #CarolineLucas (Green Party MP) in the debate in the House of Commons about its #PrivilegesComittee report on whether #BorisJohnson has consistently lied at every opportunity and should be suspended for 90 days, as recommended by the committee.

Johnson leaked the recommendations of the committee in advance, and announced his immediate resignation as MP for Uxbridge.

Heeft de parlementaire democratie een zelfreinigend vermogen?

Een gedenkwaardige avond, gisteren. Na de wel heel disfunctionele ex-minister van cultuur Dorries, die met onmiddellijke ingang het Lagerhuis verliet, stapte ook Boris Johnson ’s avonds op. ...

With #CarolineLucas set to step down from parliament now is a good opportunity to look at her insight in to the place, pulling away the mask, baring the cogs inside Westminster and showing us how things really operate. Available from ethical bookshops:

‘Parliament always felt like a nightmare’: #CarolineLucas on life as a #Green MP – and what she’ll do next

After more than a decade of 80-hour working weeks, the member for #Brighton Pavilion is standing down. What has she achieved as the only Green in the Commons? And does that feel like failure or success

#CarolineLucas is absolutely 100% right when she says that Rishi Sunak's energy policies are more 'dangerous' than #JustStopOil protestors.

Caroline Lucas is standing down as an MP in the next election. I agree with Richard Murphy, she has been a force for good in the sewer that is Tory dominated British politics.

I can’t remember a single MP changing things for the better in the way #CarolineLucas has. I shall be very sorry to see her leave the Commons.

@CarolineLucas
Thank you and best wishes for whatever comes next.
Your calm, composed approach to politics and beyond stands out from so many other politicians.
Good luck.
#CarolineLucas

The parliamentary bar may be set so low as to make any half-decent MP glow, but Caroline Lucas has shone like a supernova.

@sentient_water I cannot vote #Labour after their shocking litany of dishonesty and #Tory policy. It would be like voting for a mass murderer cuz their sheet only had 7 bodies versus 11 on the Tories. I’ll vote #Green.

#CarolineLucas is a genuine legend too so it’s no hardship.

@AngharadHafod @TheBeastOfBaglan oh - I am 100% voting #green. Me and my kids. Only realistic option and the kids (24 and 21 so not such kids really) are on my case about it too. Who wouldn’t want to vote for a party with #CarolineLucas in?

I can't find many people interested in UK politics and climate protest on Mastodon. But do hope to encourage anyone interested to join protest about lack of serious action on climate in UK on 21 - 24 April. I'll be there, with tatty placard. Please join too!

#Tories lie, they are the scorpion to the frog. It’s in their nature.

#Labour are playing the optic card to get votes. They too are lying, mostly to themselves.

#LibDems have not recovered from the coalition and their broken promises nor the #bedroomtax

#TheGreenParty are now our only hope of change and a habitual future.
