Just a normal guy who wants to live in a world with more compassion and fewer billionaires. Member of Green Party, and have found my hope again.

I've pushed the government to end unaffordable rents every day I’ve been an MP, and before then. It's a national scandal that thousands of ordinary people are forced to limit themselves & their life chances just to keep up with sky-high rents. This would be a much-needed reset👇

Zack Polanski, "Over the next year, more than 1/3 of the money that the DWP spend on housing benefits, go straight into the pockets of private landlords, subsidising their extortionate rents" "That's £13.4 billion" "That could be spent building new council homes"

What if fiscal headroom doesn't exist? youtu.be/Xp-pnyJU_n4?... In the run-up to the Budget, there is going to be a lot of talk about fiscal headroom, but the reality is that this is just a figment of a Chancellor's imagination, just as fiscal rules are.

Privatisation of water has been an absolutely unmitigated disaster. The Green Party would put water back into public hands and reverse years of radical underinvestment.

Met with Camden Leaseholders Forum this morning to hear about leasehold issues in Holborn and St Pancras. I was disappointed to hear they had been promised a dedicated councillor for leaseholders but this was reneged on by Camden Council. As MP I'll hold the council to account.

I have said before and will again: any electoral reform commission must NOT rule out a change of system BEFORE the next election if needed. We cannot risk a minority vote handing a huge majority to any party that would take a shredder to democracy itself.

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now
