Better still, REVOKE article 50, take leaving EU off agenda for at least one term (5 years), and have a proper conversation about what sort of country we want to be. Once clear about our values & priorities, THEN decide if better in or out of (a reformed?) EU.

Well done to the Greens in EP! This is your historical moment as the only alternative to extreme and incoherent politics. All strength and courage to you reorienting politics so it works for all life on earth - including us! Sara Parkin, former Co-secretary European Greens!

You can't prevent climate breakdown or save endangered species through 'steps', 'reviews' and 'consultations'. ❗

We need to see action. New funding, laws and jobs. 💰📜👩‍🔧

Anything less is just Government green-wash. 🤷‍♀️

Brexit is a huge threat to our environment.

Time and again, the Government has failed to show that environmental standards will be protected if we leave the EU.

For the sake of our planet, let's extend article 50 and have a #PeoplesVote.

... US Convention of States project goal is break-up of the EU and United States. Surely these things merit more attention than speculation over Boris's chances of moving into No 10? By then it will be far, far too late. Who feels as worried as me?

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

Max with frustration at the focus on the Westminster soap opera rather than the questions that matter. Will UK better survive storms of climate change and rickety financial system? Was the result really 'safe'? Only 37% eligible to voted Leave, hardly the 'will of the people'.

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

Was the vote legitimate, with Vote Leave refered to the Met by the Electoral Commission? Do we really understand the motivation of the rich libertarian ideologues behind the 2016 results in UK and US? Faragists and ERG want hard Brexit and Koch-funded ...

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

Hope this is a turning point for getting down to some serious action on dealing with climate change in a way that is fair and just for everyone.

“Today is the day that we truly embark on a comprehensive agenda of economic, social and racial justice in the U.S,” @AOC says of the #GreenNewDeal

A healthy contrast to Bolsinaro's plan for more deforestation, Jacinda Adhern https://t.co/JaMgEdoH1V counters with case for guardianship of environment as a good economic strategy

David Attenborough speaking at Davos https://t.co/ycOuFLPmKY. Mincing no words but convinced we can stop and reverse our environment damanging trends if we we focus properly on the problems.

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

To our squabbling politicians - your priority is to decide the most effective way to tackle dangerous climate change - in collaboration with other European institutions or not. Pivot your now ridiculous discussions to that please!

2016 Referendum illegal? If The Electoral Commission reported Vote Leave for election fraud in Jul 18, where is the police investigation? It matters. See https://t.co/jGngxqY7p6

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

@The_Convention. #Caroline_Lucas made brilliant speech. Is she the one to lead a cross-party alliance to take us through new #peoplesvote, revoke Art50 and new election?

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

@the convention. Seb Dance MEP reminds us Brexit means UK only country to reduce rights, opportunities, freedoms.

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

Is our democracy an endangered species? What does that do for sustainability. And what can we do about it? https://t.co/jGngxqY7p6

@HMRCcustomers Have customer number, Unique Number etc. but did not work with password I used last year. Applied for new password on line but hit button for postal reply by mistake. What to do?

[Sara Parkin @parkinsara]

How about this for a plan? I like it! https://t.co/vhct1jZ4eq

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

My three stage plan to stop this Tory #Brexit.

It may not make comfortable reading, but we urgently need to learn from the mistakes of the past - and ditch the tactics that lost us the referendum:

See the report on Sustainability in Higher Education (link in last tweet). Why do only 1% think their university or college is doing enough? Start a #sustainabilityliteracy campaign wherever you can!

@Oceana_Cornax Glad you liked the book. Petra Kelly was a great friend and inspiration! Just finished a contribution to an article for an Italian journal to mark what would have been her 70th Birthday (last November) so thinking a lot about Petra right now.
