caroline lucas, the mp for brighton pavilion. let's hear the view of rmt.f rmt. mick cash is the general secretary of the rail, maritime and transport union. he joins us from outside the union's headquarters in central london. this is the largest rail franchise in the country, it is an absolute mess, isn't it? well, yes. and the result today shows that there is real concern not only by our members who operate as conductors, but the train drivers about the operation of driver only operation, the company wa nt driver only operation, the company want to force through. we need now for the company to get round the table and see if we can come to a resolution to this dispute. table and see if we can come to a resolution to this disputem table and see if we can come to a resolution to this dispute. it is not just a resolution to this dispute. it is notjust a question of a company wanting to force it through because the leaders aslef came up with a deal and they said the members, we think this is a good deal, we should go with this. well, the train drivers have spo

the co—leader of the greens, caroline lucas, seized on the fact that theresa may has not expressed anyar about the rights of eu nationals living and working in the uk. what we talking about here people's lives. people's lives are not simply commodities to be traded at the convenience of some wider bargain. the prime minister quite simply could and should guarantee to people who have made their lives here in good faith that of course they can stay here in the future. the idea that it is appropriate to do otherwise i think is quite honestly completely out of order. will the honourable lady give way on that point? is she aware as i am of eu nationals in very senior positions in uk institutions who are already leaving the country and people who are eu nationals who are being interviewed for senior positions, who are now asking very searching questions about what does brexit mean for them and their families in the future? i want to make sure that this issue is put into perspective. out of the 3.5 million eu nationals currently residing in the uk, approximately 64% of them already have the r

i'm joined by tim farron from the liberal democrats and caroline lucas of the green party.u make of it? thought labour were too eager to claim a concession and believe what the minister told them. even if you don't know the detail, and we didn't know the detail, you should at least suspend judgment until you have looked at it in detail. he seemed to lap it up and said, well done everybody, we have got the vote we wanted. in the end there is no difference. what the government have done, however, is played into an argument myself and others are making that somebody will get to sign off on this deal in the end. is it going to be parliament? is it good to be the government? or should it be the people? we made the case the people should have the final say and we will continue to push that. bill cash said people angling for this final vote in parliament actually want to stay in the european union. that is not what the ratification referendum is about. it is about going back to the people. the whole mantra of the leave campaign was taking back control. we have control about leavin

caroline lucas: it seems that fake news has come to the house of commons with a vengeance, because the foreign secretary has just said that our prime minister was one of the first out of the blocks to condemn the words of president trump. she certainly was not. we have heard that it took 38 hours. her failure shames this whole country. i am proud that more people in my constituency of brighton, pavilion, have signed the petition to stop the state visit than in any other. they recognise that our prime minister has been not involved in diplomacy, but complicit with tyranny. what does the secretary of state say? her constituents are, of course, perfectly at liberty to sign the petition and express their views. i have expressed my views about the measure, but i also think it would be a good thing for the visit to go ahead, because the relationship between the united kingdom and the united states is the single most important geopolitical fact of the past 100 years, and we are going to keep that relationship going. sir nicholas soames: i strongly agree with the foreign secretary of the vital
