Delegated Powers

Make sure that Brexit makes the UK more democratic. Ensure that both the public and parliament get a say on new UK laws as we exit the EU.

-Brexit must mean Parliament gets more of a say. When Westminster takes back control of laws made in Brussels, this must lead to proper debates and votes.

-There must be a full legislative process for changes to our rights at work, our rights as consumers, our security, food or medicine safety standards, or environmental protections.

-Make sure that any new secondary legislation created as a result of the UK leaving the EU is reviewed with a reformed and stronger level of scrutiny as soon as possible after the UK exits the EU.

Protect our bees

Bees pollinate three quarters of the world’s crops - apples, strawberries, onions, carrots and many many more of our fruit and veg. We wouldn’t last long without them.

Right now there's a temporary ban on bee-killing pesticides, called neonicotinoids, across Europe. Over the next few months Environment Secretary Michael Gove has a chance to protect our bees for good by voting to extend the ban to take more of these pesticides of our fields, and by voting to make the ban permanent.
