.@TheGreenParty condemns legislation breaking Brexit agreement
A simple solution: vet agreement and rejoining customs union
Instead, the Tories have chosen to sow division, provoke conflict with our closest neighbours and turn the UK into a pariah state

RT @Howard_Goodall: @NadineDorries @DCMS @LDNTechWeek Name one thing a tech business can do now they couldn't do when we were in the EU. Just one. Try not to lie or make some nonsense up. Just name the thing. Something they can't already do in 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇳🇱🇮🇪, for example.
NB 'Buzz in the air' doesn't count.

RT @AdrianRamsay: The #FoodStrategy is not really a strategy at all. A genuine strategy would offer something new - it would look to transform our food & farming sector to tackle the cost of living crisis, improve public health & address the climate & ecological emergency.

Arron Banks loses libel action against reporter Carole Cadwalladr
Of course we celebrate that Carole has won her case
But it shouldn't take the courage of one journalist to counteract the dangerous use of the law to undermine freedom of speech

RT @RichardGCorbett: Dear #BBCBreakfast ,
You say “some people” think that the government plans to override the #NorthernIrelandProtocol break international law
Might be worth pointing out that “some people” include:
- ALL our neighbouring countries
- the USA
- a majority of N.Ireland Assembly

@felixthehat I think I explained that, whatever tax loopholes the government creates for certain places, they will have nothing to do with Brexit because we had them as EU members

Eustice says government has no plan to reduce meat consumption
He admits that methane production has a massive climate impact
But is relying on UK ‘ingenuity’ to find food supplements to reduce methane
A typical, unicorn, technofix response
Letting down future generations

Wind is already generating 45% of our electricity
We need to rapidly ramp up wind, onshore and offshore, and solar to build domestic energy resilience
It’s cheaper and faster than nuclear
RT @NationalGridESO: Yesterday #wind generated 45.3% of British electricity followed by nuclear 21.5%, gas 18.4%, solar 7.8%, biomass 3.7%, imports 2.1%, hydro 1.2%, coal 0.0%, coal 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

@felixthehat Freeports have nothing to do with Brexit. There are many across the EU and the UK used to have some while in EU membership. They are dodgy in tax terms though. I made an investigatory visit to the Freeport of Riga as part of a tax committee of the European Parliament

David Davis, the Brexit Secretary who turned up to negotiations with no papers, now finding no benefits of Brexit
He blames Theresa May's deal, which was not the deal we signed
And he blames 'Remainers'!
Sorry mate: you broke it, you own it!

RT @doug_parr: Just like with the Energy Security Strategy, the UK National Food Strategy represents a caving in to vested interests
In the Energy Strategy it was oil & gas and nuclear industries.
In the Food Strategy it's big farmers and processed food industry

Whose shocked? It was clear this was coming
Government needs to invest in a retrofit revolution to prevent recession and ease energy crisis
And boost incomes of the poorest
Increasing taxes on the wealthy to pay for this and temper inflation risks
