📝 Yesterday, UK union leaders delivered Keir Starmer an urgent letter at 10 Downing Street. 📣 “The Climate and Nature Bill would protect and safeguard nature—while creating 1000’s of jobs, bringing social and economic justice to communities across the county.” 🐝 zerohour.uk #CANBill

Badenoch voted against everything that Labour put through parliament, including all the deals done with other counties e.g UK/EU reset deal, then goes on the attack saying it’s all chaos & confusion. She has not got a clue. Just as bad as Farage. #PMQs

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

To all those braying about how Labour has “betrayed Brexit”, I would say: cry more. But I’ll actually ask you a question. What was Brexit? And how, exactly, has Starmer betrayed it? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
