Dear Leavers

Starting open, honest conversations to bring our country together, and address the inequality and exclusion behind the Brexit vote. #LetsTalk

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

Dear Leavers, Thank you. You were right to give the establishment a kicking.

If you were in control, what would you change first about life in the UK? #LetsTalk @CarolineLucas

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

As part of changing the conversation about Brexit, I interviewed documentary photographer Martin Parr

I wanted to hear what his work had revealed about Englishness, the state of our nation and democracy

Parliament may be back, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling last week, but that doesn't remove the urgent need for a written constitution

And it looks like the Attorney General agrees

Now inside the Westgate Hotel in Newport. Good to see a banner for the @NewportRising festival which celebrates the Chartist rebellion of 1839

Festival includes a torch-lit procession through the city centre in the footsteps of those early campaigners for #democracy

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

In Newport, just about to go inside the historic Westgate Hotel, currently being refurbished and the site of the last large-scale rebellion against Govt by Chartists in 1839

Talking to local people about where our democracy heads now

#democracy #Newport

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

Brilliant piece from @suzanne_moore about the culture war which led to #Brexit

But it's not just creatives vs the rest

We need to bridge a widening gulf in Britain. That is what @DearLeavers is all about

Brexit has exposed how divided we are as a country

These divisions will not healed by #JokerJohnson's “awesome foursome” rhetoric and his myriad of empty promises

More thoughts from me on how to rescue our democracy

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

Today we swap one disastrous PM for another who will be even worse

Brexit has laid bare our country’s divisions

They will not healed by #JokerJohnson

This is serious: our democracy urgently needs rescuing. Here’s how:

@DearLeavers @AnthonyBarnett @CarolineLucas @billybragg IMO part of @Brexit was a protest vote against the lack of identity and regional representation. Regional assemblies are the way to go.

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

"We are David Bowie's Heroes, we are Shakespeare, we are the NHS. The problem in England is people don't feel heard."

Would you like to see an English Parliament or regional assemblies?

@CarolineLucas & @billybragg talk Englishness. Watch the whole film: https://t.co/6BkO4moGGA

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

We need to talk about England.

England is a divided nation.

A divided nation cannot serve the common good.

Important speech by John Denham on how citizens' assemblies can help heal our divisions and build a new England #LetsTalk

Good to be on @BBCr4today with @AlexRunswick to discuss how #Brexit has laid bare rotten UK governance structures

Written constitution, electoral reform & real devolution essential to address anger & powerlessness

Rat infested, crumbling Westminster is powerful symbol of decay

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

We can't ignore the role nationalism & identity played in #Brexit vote.

Nor can we ignore need to give every part of the UK a voice & develop a progressive patriotism that is diverse & open.

It's time to talk about Englishness.

My piece for @timesredbox https://t.co/xIhq7y5seH

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

A democratic institution to represent England could be like the English football team. Under Gareth Southgate it is young, diverse, fluid & successful. And it's at home in Europe. This is who we really are.

@CarolineLucas writes for @timesredbox https://t.co/aQRSazL3GM #LetsTalk

[Dear Leavers @DearLeavers]

We visited Dudley to learn about the ties between English identity, democracy and #Brexit.

What is Englishness to you?

It's time to define a progressive patriotism we can all be proud of.

Council funding has to be ring fenced- not used as political football to create distress and stretched services that play an advantage to a tiny powerful minority

Well-done @CarolineLucas @DearLeavers.
