I expected Rafi to be upset when I picked him up from the European Parliament crèche this evening but he wasn’t from bothered. Had a great time on his 1st day there! Then he met 🚀MΛG!D (the joy on his face!) 💚 & joined @EllieChownsMEP’s #NotLeavingQuietly rave with Femi 🇪🇺

Well done @EllieChownsMEP for organising the fantastic #notleavingquietly concert last night in Euro Parliament with Royal Birmingham Conservatoire - great musicians, great atmosphere and quite moving to see the passion and love for this place we might have to leave European Parliament

Retweet if you ever disagreed with a piece of advice you were given. An advisory referendum should be treated as advice. I hear the advice but I don't have to take the advice. Let's find out how many people don't agree with the advice now we have more information. #peoplesvote

In a democracy we have a right to peaceful protest Tonight I stood in solidarity with the Extinction Rebellion Global protestors in Trafalgar Square 🌻 I exercised my right to protest and have been arrested alongside brave climate activists This is a #climateemergency❗️

The way some people are talking about 'getting #Brexit done' is like a parent saying that raising children is just about giving birth. If that's the way you think then the next 20 years are going to be a bit of a shock

Despite outrageously biased reporting particularly from the BBC,a Tory party shamefully complicit with Johnson’s shenanigans, a score of Labour mps who’ve gone completely of their rockers, we’re still in the ring. The only solution to this shitstorm-Come On!#PeoplesVote

A #GeneralElection is a rubbish way to try to resolve #Brexit deadlock: a) Too many other issues come into play. b) Our grossly undemocratic electoral system doesn’t accurately reflect people’s views. The best way forward? A #PeoplesVote. #MakeVotesMatter
