We need faster integration. All but a few with vested interests can see that Europe is a key part of future.

Roughly four out of every five pounds that Reform UK has raised in big, reportable cheques since it was founded can be traced to people who either make their money from the fossil-fuel system or publicly campaign against climate science and net-zero.

Giving 16- and 17-year-olds the vote is a long-overdue win for democracy β€” On this one I am happy to say well done, Labour.

But let’s not stop here. It’s time to:
* Abolish the unelected House of Lords
* Introduce PR so every vote counts

Young people deserve real representation.

Dear Keir - following #PMQs today, a reminder of the letter we you sent last week after you repeated false claims about the Green Party's manifesto. Unlike Labour and the Conservatives we were honest about the need to raise taxes on the wealthiest to fund the services we all need.

I asked the Deputy Prime Minister if she would impose huge, remote unitary County Councils if that is against the wishes of local residents & how she can justify having County Councillors last elected in 2021, leading negotiations on the biggest shake-up of local government in the last half-century.

5 years on from our exit from the EU, the devastating impacts of Brexit on young people, small businesses and our economy are clear to see.

The Green Party wants to see the UK rejoin the Customs Union & Single Market and to to re-join the EU when the political will is present.

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.

Launch natural history GCSE in England now, campaigners urge Labour Environmentalists say new course could be delayed until 2030 because it is viewed as Conservative party initiative

Great to see momentum continuing to grow for introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE - it just needs green light from government! A brilliant way to help restore nature, improve young people’s physical & mental health & fill the green skills gap.
