I've been absolutely horrified by the racist and Islamophobic violence on UK streets in the past week.

Now let's unite to build an inclusive, equal, non-discriminatory society. The UK is better than this.
"As a Green MP I'd like to see much bolder action being talked about"
The #KingsSpeech doesn't go far enough.
Insulation. Building standards. Rent controls.
Green MPs will be pushing Labour to do better.
