The current Prime Minister’s reckless and irresponsible approach of ‘Brexit at all costs’ risks driving the country over the cliff of a no-deal, crash-out Brexit. While National Grid staff will no doubt ensure that the lights stay on, their jobs will be made far harder in the long term. We will still need to trade energy with our closest neighbours, but we will have much less influence over the market or the regulatory framework.

First of all, I would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who voted Green at the European elections in May.  For the first time ever, the West Midlands now has a Green MEP, committed to working hard for the people of our region – and for the planet!
