Giving 16- and 17-year-olds the vote is a long-overdue win for democracy — 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.

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. Is this why Reform UK advocate short-termism?

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.

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.

The Green Party should be proud of their breakthrough at the last election.
But their failure to pick political fights since then has left Nigel Farage capitalising on Labour’s implosion.
They need to get their act together!
