Everyone knew he was not fit to hold public office before he was even an MP. Yet Tories made him their leader & look what happened. Evading scrutiny to the last & choosing to quit just hours after gifting gongs & peerages in atrocious act of patronage & sleaze.

Stinks. Rewards for political allies & cronies to a rogue PM who is himself still under police & parliamentary investigation over #Partygate.

Great to catch up with principals of @BHASVIC, @varndean & @BrightonMETcoll alongside other city MPs. Thanks for all you do for post-16 education in #Brighton & beyond - look forward to working together to secure better funding, action on staff recruitment & keeping #BTECs

RT @india_bourke: How much should ideals and values and be sacrificed for political pragmatism?

@CarolineLucas has become nationally beloved for sticking to hers and transforming climate politics in the process.

Govt caves in to oil & gas lobby yet again, gifting them huge get-out clause on paying windfall tax. While fossil fuel giants pollute our planet & reap record profits, Govt isn't just letting them off the hook - it's aiding & abetting their climate crimes

RT @GeorgeMonbiot: If Labour stands for anything, it must stand against this unprecedented move by the government to overturn a parliamentary decision. It is bypassing democracy, to stamp out what little remains of our right to protest. This is a dictatorial gambit.

In 13 years as Green MP, I've called out incompetent Ministers, challenged Government cowardice over #Brexit, demanded more affordable housing, helped secure  ban on fracking, stood up for refugees – and always put #BrightonPavilion first. Some of my highlights in Parliament 👇📽️

As UK’s first Green MP, I’m proud of what I’ve achieved: saying the previously unsayable, making climate part of mainstream political narrative & changing how Parliament works. But I’ve decided not to stand at next General Election.
