With their private jets and high-consumption lifestyles it's the super-rich who are driving #ClimateCrisis

A more equal society would be happier and healthier society but also a more climate-friendly one

#WealthTax is an important step to achieving that

Imagine what sort of country we would be if we invested this money and in public services and in the Green transition

Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster

🤔I was wondering which thoughtful commentators would close @BBCr4today with their wise analysis of Brexit three years on

😩But the last five minutes was spent discussing Pamela Anderson 'taking control of the narrative'

Was this intended to inform, educate or entertain?

#OMG

Great to see that continuing strikes are inspiring others to stand up for themselves

I'm delighted to see more people joining unions in response to the wave of strike action

UK is the only major economy predicted to decline this year

From Brexit to the mini-budget, the Tories have been a disaster for our economy

And we are all paying the price every day

Three years on from Brexit, all UK voters are left with is a bitter taste of Bregret

@pollytoynbee assembles the devastating evidence of the economic disaster of Brexit

I'm more confused about why the subtitle says @UKLabour is right to accept it

The IMF says the UK economy will do worse than any other major developed economy this year

Three years on, it really is time to admit that Brexit was a horrible mistake and begin our plans to #RejoinEU

@ken_hobbs My daughter lives in Glasgow and we always visit by train. I also always take train and ferry to Belfast. It costs more so I travel less. No big deal

@jonnyjaero If Greens were in government we would be developing an aviation policy fit for the climate emergency

@sammorganmoore It’s about storage, balancing the grid, and investing in non-intermittent renewables such as tidal energy

@jonnyjaero And I agree about the need for greater investment in rail. Obviously I know what you mean about the west country where I’ve travelled around extensively as MEP

@jonnyjaero That's strangely different from what I was hearing on the news where they said West Country airports at Exeter and Newquay were important routes

Nobody is disputing the need for some air connections to Belfast, although I always go by sea

Flybe collapses and cancels all flights

Most Flybe routes were short and had viable alternative train route

In a climate emergency when many countries are phasing out domestic flights altogether this collapse was inevitable

More than half our electricity is coming from wind energy this morning

With commitment, investment and demand reduction we could rapidly move to 100% renewables

Let's do this!

Barnier is right

The social, political and economic crises facing the UK are not caused by Brexit

But all are made worse because of Brexit

The Zahawi scandal was always going to result in his sacking

The delay demonstrates Sunak’s lack of experience and poor judgement

He has now demonstrated that he believes in neither principle nor ‘due process’

This graphic will please Labour

It represents people desperate enough to believe the myth that the Tories care about them changing their minds

Neither Brexit nor Tory government worked for them

We need to repair the damage from Brexit, not just the damage from Tory government

So much debate about people leaving the workforce

After decades of bullying management techniques and reducing real terms wages, how can anybody be surprised about this?

Treat people well, respect them, and pay them properly

It’s simple really
