Again, an excellent tbread on the realities of change in Excise Duty - more paperwork, more costs...

Daniel Lambert (Wines). 🇪🇺🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍇🥂: This past week has proven to me just how desperate &amp; pathetic the UK government has got. The Excise duty increase and the way it is charged came into force on Tuesday at midnight. It’s been a challenging week if you import, and government has been lying at every opportunity.

But we will make sure that Spain remains in the progressive majority to advance on social and green policies at the European level and to stop the far-right.
Thanks for all your support!! ✊️🌻

Rishi Sunak has quietly slipped out new rules raising the amount individuals can secretly donate to political parties by 50%. Party campaign spending limits have also been raised.
Meanwhile the cap on trade union spending during elections has been frozen.

We’re used to arguments about how overcapacity, financialization, deindustrialization, declining rates of profit, etc. drive down growth, but here's an insight into how global heating attacks growth through declining productivity and infrastructural damage.ft.com/content/4ca7ac75-ab0a-4

It’s not about choosing between green policies or cost-of-living — it has to be both, because these are not separate issues, and the opportunity is far too great to pass up.

By the age of 10, Katherine Johnson was in high school. In 1961, she calculated the trajectory of NASA's first trip into space. She was so consistently accurate that when NASA began to use computers, they had her to check the calculations to make sure they were correct.

You can't have it both ways, banqueting with fossil fuels one day and slumming with emission targets the next. The UK government tells Global South countries to reduce their emissions — and then announces a massive expansion of fossil fuel development.
