As the UK becomes more divided, England has re-emerged as a potent force in culture & politics. To counter rise of the populist Right, we need more compelling stories of a fairer, greener, more inclusive country. My new book, Another England, is out now

We need more funding for palliative care but even best care can’t help everyone. So we also need a strictly safeguarded law on #AssistedDying to give dying people choice in their last days. @TheGreenParty manifesto will back a change in the law - I hope other parties will too

@ToniaAntoniazzi @CommonsHealth @PaulBlomfieldMP @kitmalthouse @cajardineMP @MattHancock @CarolineLucas says that the ban on assisted dying perpetuates inequality. The best palliative care cannot help everyone. Palliative care and hospice movement need more funding. Green Party manifesto pledge calling for a free vote on assisted dying after the General Election.

NEW: The Green Party’s outgoing MP @CarolineLucas has told @BylineTimes she believes several Green MPs will be elected in the next general election, saying that her party will put pressure on Keir Starmer’s Labour to be “bolder, braver and better”

85% of people in #Brighton Pavilion support #AssistedDying and my inbox is full of heartbreaking emails from constituents upset at how badly our current laws let dying people down. In today's debate, I'll be speaking up for them and people across the country in calling for change

In today's debate on Assisted Dying, I'll be backing a change in the law at the earliest opportunity. MPs have the power to make Britain a better place to die - my piece in the @Daily_Express on why we should take it 👇 @dignityindying

The support available for people with mental health problems in this country is woeful. Rather than address that, the Tories are trying to deny the problem even exists as an excuse to provide even less support than before. Disgraceful attack on the most vulnerable.

“Home Office to detain asylum seekers across UK in shock Rwanda operation” - is there no end to the performative cruelty of this obscene, inhumane Govt? So much misery just for electoral advantage? On election day, show them Britain is better than this

Next Monday, MPs will debate Assisted Dying thanks to huge support from the general public. It's time to build compassion into our laws and allow Assisted Dying. If you agree, demonstrate your support ahead of the debate by signing the petition:

Can’t be put more simply: Greens would scrap Ofsted. Keeping single-word ratings? I can’t believe what I am reading this morning. I grew up with teachers and have governed a wonderful school and this is not serving better standards. My rating of this Government: Inadequate.

Councillors reinstated three workers sacked by managers - and interfered behind the scenes. Now councillors are to be excluded from disciplinary hearings. The move follows reports on the toxic culture at the Cityclean rubbish and recycling service ...

Great bill from @richardburgon in Parliament today to ban MPs profiting from links with oil & gas companies & divest MP pension fund from fossil fuels. As I said in my debate on this in Jan, we must kick fossil fuels out of politics. This is a good start!

Ban on industrial activities like oil drilling in historic Global Oceans Treaty is vital for marine wildlife to recover & thrive - yet UK is delaying ratification. Today's debate in Parliament must see them get it done before general election - time is running out🌊 @GreenpeaceUK
