Five years ago today Britain left the EU - and since then the costs have only got clearer. Young people missing out on opportunities, small businesses finding it harder to export - we're all losing out. Greens will continue to press the govt for a closer relationship with the EU.

True democracy requires decentralised information and news sources - we can't make good decisions without better information. Don't support the current media machine that is in place largely to keep you in place. Support independent journalism as a major act of #resistance. Support Bylines :)

The EU have said they would consider allowing the UK to join the pan-Europe customs scheme. The Government must not miss this opportunity to start repairing the economic damage of Brexit. The next steps: rejoining the Customs Union and negotiating for a youth mobility scheme.

Really pleased the minister agreed to meet me to discuss my #RentersRightsBill amendment to give disabled people the right to adapt their home to meet their needs. Not counting chickens yet but potential big win for all who campaigned on this. I'll continue to push this forward.

The Renters' Rights Bill is a welcome step towards improved living standards for renters. But there's a gaping hole in the legislation... We desperately need rent controls to stop tenants being treated as cash cows by landlords.

Rachel Reeves is threatening yet more public spending cuts due to the increasing cost of borrowing. But our services simply can’t take any more austerity. The Government should tax the super-rich fairly to help fund public services and close the inequality gap.

The NHS must be for people, not profit. I welcome new NHS investment, but I'm genuinely worried about the risks of creeping privatisation. The NHS must remain publicly owned, publicly run, and for public benefit.
