    🚇 I've been travelling London talking to people about public toilets. 🚽 From the 12 stop loo desert on the northern line, to every assembly constituency 💯 Unanimous consensus: London needs more public toilets 💚 Greens will champion more, better, accessible public toilets.

    I was arrested yesterday on a peaceful protest and have been released without conditions while the police decide what to do. I hope you’ll understand that I’m not able to make any comment on this until the police have decided what further action, if any, they intend to take. 1/2

    This looks terrible. Arresting journalists with press accreditation reporting at the Coronation of a hereditary monarch @metpoliceuk? I thought we’d established that Met Officers complete the @NUJofficial training? x.com/carolinerussel…

    Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @bectu press accreditation visible around my neck. Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

    As a @LondonAssembly member and a member of the Police and Crime Committee I hope the Met police will look into Laurence Fox using pride flags to create nazi imagery and posting the images on a public platform. This is a hate crime.
    Fragment of Laurence Fox’s profile picture made up from pride flags so that the nazi imagery is not repeated.

    We are all currently EU citizens. Why is no one acknowledging (or even discussing) our collective loss of our EU citizenship.

    🚨 Not a single Labour Assembly Member voted for my motion to repeal the Public Order Act today, not only that, but they couldn't bring themselves to say a word about it. Let that sink in.

    Starmer on @bbcr4today wants to fight the next election on economic growth. 👀 The mirage of perpetual growth is the problem - to meet net zero targets we need to create a fair, healthy and resilient economy, and that means challenging perpetual growth on a finite planet.

    Heartbroken to see a Green Party Women Twitter account supporting the erasure of trans people. As a Green Party woman they do not speak for me. 🏳️‍⚧️

    Yikes Julia, we might reduce your energy bills, protect wildlife or clean up your air. Utterly terrifying. 💚

    This is worrying. The Greens are terrifying.

    “Staff shortages caused by large numbers of workers being pinged by the NHS app.” @BBCr4today 🤔 ✅The App is just doing its job. ✅There’s lots of pings because there’s lots of transmission. ✅Relaxing restrictions has consequences for our health AND our economy.

    This raises so many questions. People intent on raising the alarm about climate collapse arrested BEFORE they have started a protest. Arresting people before a crime is committed? Have @metpoliceuk used #spycops? The right to protest is fundamental to a free society.

    Jaw dropping interview on @BBCr4today with Conservative peer Lady Altmann saying that the most vulnerable people in care homes are being overlooked, there’s no PPE or testing and staff shortages. So far so good. Then: “the NHS has kind of left them in the lurch”. What about Govt?

    Inclusive language is important so that everyone gets the healthcare they need. While the majority of people with endometriosis are women, trans men and gender diverse people should be included too. They could easily have written “women and people assigned female at birth”
