The damage is done and it is irreversible as long as Labour sticks to its red lines. Predictions of £40bn hit to public finances from Brexit ‘correct’. OBR forecast of a 4 per cent productivity loss from leaving the EU has been largely borne out, says top economist www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

“The date that Daniel Hannan chose for his now infamous Newsnight video and Reaction Life article, published two days before voters went to the polls in the 2016 referendum, has finally arrived. Yes, it’s 24 June 2025” Anyone else remember this exercise in purest Brexit fantasy? 🌈🦄

Here in the UK a butterfly emergency was called last year. Pollinator numbers dropping is partly due to how much pesticides we use. France has banned pesticides from towns and cities, Other European nations are doing the same. Join me and tell the UK government to protect pollinators:

Nothing justifies what Israel is doing. It's EVIL. And it's intentional. Every burnt orphaned child is done with racist callous indifference by Israel. Israel doesn't care. Israel is racist by design.

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/ky2i

There is widespread support for #nature: it's not a minority issue, as the govt seems to think. As @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social says, refusing to make #swift-bricks compulsory in new #homes is 'tone deaf'. Can't ministers see how bad this makes govt look? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The cost of winter fuel payments is £3bn a year. The profits of the big four gas supply giants in 2023 were £65bn. Gosh, what a difficult circle to square.
