Today I was officially sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Norwich South.

To be sworn in as an MP, you have to make an oath to the King.

This is what I decided to say, in protest:

I take this oath under protest, and in the hope that one day my fellow citizens will democratically decide to live in a republic.

Until that time, I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, according to law.

Watch me take my oath here.
