It's great to see the end of the era of Tories deliberately picking fights with EU
But it was on the basis that this deal was already done that they won the 2019 election

Coffey's utter incompetence demonstrated that the government hasn't thought at all about the complicated matter of food supply chains
In an era of climate crisis and Brexit trade issues this is deeply worrying
RT @BestForBritain: Someone call Therese we’ve ran out of turnips now too!

This shower have been in government because #LiarJohnson promised this deal was oven ready in December 2019
They lied and lied again and are not a legitimate government

🥓 🥬 and what? 🥪
Turnip or tomato - your choice

UK slams ‘protectionist’ Biden
We fall out with EU and now with US too
Trade Secretary just whingeing about countries that are supporting the green economy
EU will follow suit
UK govt has nothing to offer

Government finances much stronger than predicted
Now is the time for government to give public-sector workers the pay rise they deserve
And end the strikes and disruption
RT @andyverity: 'Public sector net borrowing in January 2023 was in surplus by £5.4 billion, which was a £7.1 billion smaller surplus than in January 2022 but a £5.0 billion larger surplus than forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility' - ONS.

@mattstratford @ChilternGreens @AdrianRamsay @carla_denyer @ZackPolanski Can you explain how HS2 builds local rail capacity
For example, how does it help me get our local station reopened so I don’t have to travel to Cheltenham to get to Plymouth?

Look at the graph - Euro gas prices back to pre-war levels
But we’re still facing bills rising in April
Fossil energy market is rife with speculation and does not work for consumers
We need more powerful political intervention - and rapid transition

Thank you @TheWomanfredi
That’s all

@KaiKodden @nssylla @ingridharvold @cacrisalves @maxajl @Tilley101 @DanielaGabor @BernardsNick @IliasAlami @BJMbraun @fichtner_jan Sure have
Also, I can’t see the people I used to DM. I seemed to be encouraged to DM other people. Most peculiar

Govt plan to halve inflation will suddenly become more effective when gas prices rises drop out of inflation figure a year after they impacted
Inflation is about *year on year* price change
Govt policy is like seeing a storm approaching and claiming you invoke the power of Thor
RT @DominicRaab: Our plan is working.👇

@CatHobbs @We_OwnIt Hi Cat
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that we shouldn’t be celebrating fossil fuel profits in a climate emergency
We need fossil companies in public hands so that we can manage their rapid decline

@DrJoGrady I’m striking at Roehampton where we also have a local dispute over workloads
Massive increases in student numbers, a doubled workload and indiscriminate use of VLs - trashing the quality of HE

There is no comparison between the quality of Sturgeon and the hubris of Johnson and Truss
Scotland generates good leaders because they have strong political culture, an open and fair democracy, and a commitment to education
Why should they be held back by English obscurantism?

@Nipster90 The downward trend I like and have probably contributed to with legislative changes I helped negotiate
It's the upward trend at the end I'm worried about

Profits that feed greedy shareholders and trash the planet
Without strong intervention we will see more private investment flowing to this dangerous sector
We need governments to manage their rapid decline

@GeorgeMonbiot Morning George. I admire your courage in saying this. So depressing that we are forced to choose between this and the corrupt and incompetent Tories to govern our country

Ban on hunting birds with lead shot in EU wetlands hailed as ‘huge milestone’
But wetland birds in the UK will still die from lead poisoning
The lack of a ban here is a clear example of the loss of environmental protection since we left the EU

Senseless lawsuit could bankrupt the Labour party and let the Tories win again
@UKLabour is factionalized and current leadership intolerant and authoritarian
So depressing we are forced to choose between this and utterly corrupt and incompetent Tories
