Lower business investment and tight Labour-market are both direct consequences of leaving the EU
The Brexit vote led to a collapse in investment
And ending free movement meant the loss of millions of workers

Brexit pubs guarantee?
An absurdly populist measure
I suppose at least it’s cheaper to drown your sorrows about the damage Brexit is wreaking on our economy

Chancellor tries to take credit for halving inflation
But this is a purely technical matter since it is a year-on-year calculation
The massive prices increases are still baked in
And most of us haven’t had pay rises to match and so are poorer

This is the new front in the climate denial campaign
I’ve got a house from exactly just era and it’s warmed efficiently and cheaply by a heat pump
You have to start with insulation but then the heat pump can certainly heat this sort of house
RT @heatpolicyrich: 'Heat pumps won't work in old homes' warns UK's largest manufacturer of gas and oil boilers.
This tweet from a Victorian 1895 terrace heated with a heat pump.

UK poised to remove import tariffs on Malaysian palm oil
Devastating impacts of palm oil on habitats for precious creatures like orangutans well known
Brexit posturing about a nugatory trade deal with the Pacific will lead to death and destruction

#Budget2023 will be chasing growth at any cost
A Green Budget would focus on quality, happiness, & fairness
Of course we want more home insulation and renewables but we don’t want more online gambling or short-haul flights
I write for @LSEpoliticsblog

A Green Chancellor would offer:
💷 Fair pay to public-sector workers
👩👩👧👧 35 hours a week of free childcare for all
🚍 A £1 single fare on all bus routes in England
🏭💚 Major investment in the green economy

The Chancellor may have friends who have more than £1m in their pension pot but I don't
Do you?
It looks like we're going to have a budget for the wealthy
@TheGreenParty would support affordable and accessible buses and free childcare so ordinary people could afford to work

Patience Wheatcroft has the experience and connections to bring the European Movement the authority we need
That's why I'm backing her as our next chair

@sandtreader @TheGreenParty Hi Paul. We don’t want to join the single market without joining the political institutions because of the democratic deficit
We do argue for freedom of movement without single market membership. This would be a first but is possible

When fascism threatens it is the duty of all of us to resist
I can't express how proud I am of former footballers and football pundits who are modelling just how to do this

A Chair who misleads Parliament - not a problem
A sports presenter who condemns racist policy on migration - 'standing aside'
The BBC's reputation dragged through the mire

Sunak won’t get a deal with Macron because:
Migration in France is dealt with at EU level
EU countries are horrified by UK breaking international law
And threatening to leave ECHR
Brexit has make Tory migration chaos worse
And made it harder to ‘control borders’

@colinngordon1 @patienceforem @thomasbrake @mikegalsworthy @euromove @annabirdfr @Wilson4VC The European Movement is committed to working in a cross-party way and too close an attachment to any one political party would be a disadvantage in our Chair in my view

Zack’s right
It was depressing beyond belief to see Labour making the case that they would remove refugees more efficiently
It’s left to @TheGreenParty to give a moral and compassionate lead
RT @ZackPolanski: Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak shouting at each other in Parliament.
Not even a shred of compassion, humanity or dignity for people in any of their words.
It doesn't have to be like this.

I want a European future too!
For me, as for the people of Ukraine and Georgia, the EU represents a bulwark against authoritarianism, the hope of a better life
#RejoinEU
RT @euromove: The Georgian people are out in the streets to defend the country’s European future amid the ruling party’s adoption of Russian foreign agent law.
It’s clear that Georgians want a European future!

Tories should grab offer to rejoin #Horizon with both hands
Instead they are putting together some half-baked alternative
British science for British people?
Science needs international collaboration
Toeies don't want to join Horizon where EU members decide funding priorities
