The so-called Pacific trade deal is a performative farce
As Patience Wheatcroft points out, ‘the UK already has trade deals with nine of the 11 countries in CPTPP, only missing Brunei and Malaysia’
A Brexiteer government desperate to find some benefit

Question Time came from Bristol this week

Some of Twitter's top users aren’t afraid of losing their blue check marks
With soaring rates of racism and disinformation I think we can all see who the April fool is this year

Rachel Reeves refuses to commit to increasing capital gains tax on @BBCr4today
@TheGreenParty would introduce a single tax so that those who live from investments pay the same rate as those who live from working
This is what we mean by a fairer, Greener economy

Jeremy Hunt says he won’t offer subsidies to green industries to compete with US and EU
This is like announcing we will not be part of the global economy of the future
Before Brexit our sustainable future would have been supported
Now we are doomed to a poor and dirty future

UK govt presents five weak principles to regulate AI
Meanwhile the EU is two years into negotiating a regulation to protect citizens
We’ve lost so much through leaving the EU legislative framework

There’s an extraordinary number of trolls talking bull about heatpumps
I wonder who is paying them
RT @JeremyCordite: Hi Molly, Bosch, who manufacture heat pumps, say they won't work in Britains older housing stock.
Currently 43% of homes.

@GreenJennyJones Not sure. Let’s ask @PlymouthGreens

Poole harbour: major incident declared over leak from oilfield
Astonishment greets news of major pollution incident in beautiful English coastal resort
The wrong type of energy in the wrong place at the wrong time

@DavidParsley50 See also Cllr Chris Rigby:
RT @_CJR_: This is unacceptable Wytch farm has been an accident waiting to happen for years. BP left due to ageing equipment, Perenco came to scrape the barrel. We drew attention to this in 2019 during our campaign against oil exploration in the Colter prospect (Jack up rig 2019)

Plymouth council leader quits after approving cutting down of 110 trees
Imagine sacrificing your political career in order to kill some beautiful trees
Quite incomprehensible
Trees are so essential in the city as we face extreme high temperatures

'I told you so' doesn't begin to cover the fury I feel about this
As MEP for Dorset I was astonished that the oil industry was being encouraged in such a beautiful county
We need to move urgently to leave filthy fossil fuels behind

UK is Europe’s most gas addicted country
Heat pumps installed:
🇫🇷 3.1m
🇳🇴 1.3m
🇬🇧 280k
If UK had installed as many heat pumps as Estonia, domestic gas prices would be 34% lower than last year
Gas imports 19% lower
💚 Time for a retrofit revolution!

Bank of England governor first tells workers they shouldn’t ask for pay rises to match inflation
Now tells busineses not to raise prices to match inflation
Isn’t it time he focused his attention on profits?
And learned a bit more about how small businesses work.

😬 Great concerns about national security risk from TikTok, which may even be banned in the UK or US due to national security threats
😱 But UK still happy to have Chinese as major investor in a nuclear power industry?

Am I the only person who thinks that setting up a tax-free zone in Anglesey is an invitation to engage in smuggling?
This is just where the border between the EU and UK now exists
This sounds like an call to every organised criminal in the UK
