If a prime minister can suspend parliament to deliver a 'no deal' Brexit, what will the government try to do next with no democratic scrutiny or oversight?
Caroline Lucas
We always knew that whatever party Nigel Farage led - first UKIP and then the Brexit party - was basically a vehicle for his own political self-glorification and now he's proved it.
Once upon a time the Conservative party was a broad church which embraced a range of views.
Addressing the climate and biodiversity crises requires us to radically change our economic models, moving away from economic growth as the over-riding measure of progress and moving instead towards improving health and wellbeing for people and nature. That means a different economic model taking us towards a sustainable economy.
Huge public spending and borrowing in the face of an existential crisis is clearly the right thing to do, as is putting people's health and wellbeing above the pursuit of economic growth.
The response to coronavirus has shown what can be done when governments put their mind to it.
It used to be said that war was the locomotive of history, with its power to accelerate change. The coronavirus crisis has that same power. It has already shown us who we really are, and how there is much more than unites than divides us. It has shown how governments need to work with their citizens to overcome threats or challenges.
When this coronavirus crisis is over, what kind of society will we be? A more important question is what kind of society do we want to be?
We must not let the response to the coronavirus crisis make the climate and inequality crises even worse.
Clear skies and clean air must become the new normal. We must re-design our cities, reclaiming the streets for cycling and walking, allowing people to walk along streets unpolluted by traffic.
Sometimes it takes a sudden change to make you realise just how bad things were.
No more top-down politics with Westminster dictating what's right for every community. We must all be partners in designing a better future for our country.
There is an important message that all political leaders should be taking from the response to coronavirus, and that is that people are prepared to make hard choices for the common good.
The truth is that goodness is hardwired in humanity.
Humanity's inclination to be kind during the coronavirus crisis is an unprecedented, uplifting demonstration of solidarity.
Other countries are developing well-being economies - we should do the same. That is the way to create a society which would stand the test of time - for everyone.
Coronavirus has exposed for all what many of us already knew - some of our most important workers have barely enough to live on, and millions are condemned to financial insecurity, inequality and food poverty.
With pollution from traffic a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, we should be building a transport and planning system that makes car-free travel for shorter distances the norm for the majority.
The point about Roosevelt's New Deal was that it was visionary - for the 1930s.
A public, unified and integrated railway - hardly controversial.
Renewable energy is not unaffordable as the fossil fuel giants would like us to believe.
Politicians can either keep listening to a small number of polluting fossil fuel companies, who're keen to profit from keeping us hooked on oil, coal and gas, or they can listen to the majority of other voices from civil society to business calling for an urgent switch to low and zero carbon heat and power.
Climate change demands a collective response. We can't expect other countries to act if we don't.
My constituents are my employers - if I let them down I should be accountable to them.
