New Labour deal will largely restore easier trade across GB/EU & GB/NI borders That is what mutually recognised legal authority does for you. But the irony is UK will now be a true rules taking, vassal state the Brexiters always (wrongly) accused UK of being when an EU MS. Brexit is such a fuck up

Xenophobia, jingoism & nationalism: hell of a bastard combination. UK still gripped by too much of it As a working class East Leeds (LS14) lad I loved growing up in an increasingly opening up continent (fab for me in working & personal life). I escaped the new UK, thank fuck.Rejoin the EU,silly sods

The Tories are over. Brexit was a lethal dose of populist madness and it’s done for them. Cannot wait for their manifesto that says to business - “We’ll rip up Labour’s reset and go back to the glory days of red tape, queues and costs!” Bye 👋 then. Utter clowns. (Independent Brexit briefing)

The Brexit mood music has changed. You can’t wang on about sovereignty and fish any more and expect people to care. Trade deals aren’t massively convincing either. People just don’t want hassle and higher bills. That’s all Brexit actually delivered. We’re very tired of the failure. (Letters, Times)

Your 'moment of doom' for May 9, 2025 ~ IOTTCO "The speed at which carbon sinks soak up CO₂ depends on environmental conditions, which are largely out of our control. As climate change worsens, the capacity of natural carbon sinks to draw down our emissions will likely reduce."

Huge thank you to the US and UK teams for putting this utterly ambiguous line in the text, so we all get to enjoy weeks of wild speculation. My best guess is they didn't actually agree a list but didn't want to delay the big VE day announce party and are hoping it all works itself out.

🚨🌍🌡📈 Using a 15-year trend, we have now officially passed 1.5°C of global warming. All recent La Niña months are above the trendline. Extrapolating this linear trend, we'll hit +1.75°C by 2031 and +2.0°C by 2037. ⬇️

Yesterday the Supreme Court said (having refused to hear from any trans people): "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC." Today. Trans women - and gender non conforming cis women - are now going to be 'frisked' by men. 👇🏻

Humanity is choosing to fail! We are doing virtually nothing to try and limit global warming to even 4°C. Let alone to 1.5°C. Methane concentrations are following the highest IPCC scenario, now at 1938 ppb. H/t @glenpeters.bsky.social

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️
