Brexit isnβt done; the negotiations over the nature of our future relationship are just beginning.
Pro-Europeans have a right to help shape our future relationship with Europe.
Au revoir, but not goodbye. πͺπΊπ¬π§

THREAD: Since itβs #BrexitDay, weβre looking back on some of the fantastic successes our MEPs achieved in their seven months in Brussels! π
Here are some of their highlights, starting with:
A massive heartfelt thank you to all our @TheGreenParty MEP's past & present for all their work making change in the EU.
@MollyMEP, @EllieChowns, @MagicMagid, @ScottMEPLondon, @GinaDowdingMEP, @alexforeurope, @catherinerowett - you've been incredible & I wish it wasn't ending π
My final message as an MEP, taken just before leaving the European Parliament for the last time.
A big thank you to my constituents, staff and colleagues.

As I leave the European Parliament for the last time, I want to say a BIG thank you to everyone here who has made us feel so welcome & so loved.
Today we need to reflect, but tomorrow we start the fightback.
This is not goodbye. This is see you soon π
#BrexitDay#NotMyBrexit
Goodbye to the place where good is still just about keeping the evil at bay, and where lovely people work on improving, not destroying, the peace and collaboration of the post war project. #leavealighton
#BrexitDay is a sad day for EU & UK.
But we'll never stop believing that we're stronger together! πͺπΊππ¬π§
Help us pay tribute to all the work our UK MEPs & staff have done for 30 years in our Group for a more democratic & sustainable Europe π
We'll #leavealighton!
#Brexit
Thanks to my amazing 7 members of staff who I have relied upon so much!
For:
- putting up with me
- making it all so much fun
- working SO well together
You are the dream team and Iβm gonna miss you too much π’ but looking forward to following your individual stories. πππ
Saying goodbye to an old friend is not easy.
But this is not the end of the story.
We will never stop believing that we belong together β’ ensemble β’ zusammen...

#BrexitDay
The last 8 months have been the best of my life
Iβm gonna miss the rest of the UK Green MEPs with all of their foibles & eccentricities
We complement each other so well & have made such a formidable team
Looking forward to a reunion at conference in #Brighton if not before π
Iβve had exceptional teams supporting me in Brussels & the West Midlands.
Merci de tout mon cΕur to my fantastic Bxl assistants @morlandobloom, @Ferrar_Anna & @jtrowlands.
And thanks a million to the wonderful WM team Helen Heathfield, @Georgie_Barber & @Emma_Carter22

#Brexit: Leaving the #EuropeanParliament for the last time, with a heavy heart.
Returning home determined to fix our broken politics and #MakeVotesMatter so that every vote counts equally, every time.
And determined to do all I can to keep the UK and EU closely linked.
Absolute π for all our UK Green MEPs leaving Brussels today. And massive πππ for the immense hard work they put into representing all the people in their regions.
When you elect an MEP you elect someone to represent wider society on a European level. When you elect a Green MEP you elect someone who will do whatever it takes to protect the public interest.
Such a tremendous loss of 7 most hard-working & selfless people today. #BrexitDay πͺπΊ
Like many Iβm feeling such sadness today
But endings are also beginnings
Struggle for greener more compassionate future starts now
Our common humanity matters more than our divisions, whether you voted Leave or Remain #BrexitDay
What a wonderful night last night, celebrating unity with out UK friends and colleaguesπ
People from all over Europe together dancing at a Ceilidh, a Scottish gathering with live music. We will #SeeYouSoon#leavealighton#notleavingquietly#Brexit
