How's Brexit working out?
We have a right to know!
Parliament will debate whether or not there should be a full enquiry on Monday
Make sure your MP is there
RT @MirrorPolitics: Calls for an inquiry into the impact of Brexit will be heard in Parliament on Monday

UK now an outlier among major economies
Is this a Brexit effect?
Probably
Because trade barriers increase the price of imports
And because the end of freedom of movement has led to a tight labour-market in the UK

EU passes an vital package to boost transition to a green economy
UK govt considers giving permission for more gas and oil from North Sea
This isn't just about trashing the climate: it's also about missing out on the economic opportunities of the future

This is why @TheGreenParty has been arguing for Universal Credit to be increased by £40 per week
RT to tell Sunak to #DoTheMaths
RT @jrf_uk: 🧮 We've done our #maths & it doesn't add up!
The current basic rate of #UniversalCredit falls £35 *per week* short of the actual cost of essentials like food, utilities & vital household goods

🤔 What can *you* do to protect our climate?
🌎 How about investing in a clean energy future?
RT @GreenPartyMolly: In countries where renewable energy has really taken off, it's because it's owned by the community
Bristol Energy Co-op @briznrg is launching a new share issue
So you can buy your own little part of the energy revolution!

UK’s role as bridge into EU single market was always at the heart of the ‘special relationship’
Brexiteers’ fantasy that there was some romantic nostalgia that made our closeness to USA eternal revealed as a deeply damaging myth
Brexit damages our economy and global standing

Why didn’t Joe Biden bother to visit mainland UK?
Because since Brexit, Ireland is a much more direct bridge into the EU single market
@AdrianRamsay explains to #bbcaq
@TheGreenParty would rejoin the customs union and #RejoinEU once conditions are right

‘Raw sewage is being spilled into our rivers 824 times a day’—says @AdrianRamsay
‘Private companies are being allowed to profit from failure’

#GFA25 and the ongoing peace process has been the work of so many people
But let's not forget all the contributions made by the EU over the years
And the fact that Ireland and Northern Ireland both being inside the EU made it possible
RT @BestForBritain: Some say peace in N Ireland was achieved without the EU. Overlooking the fact that the DUP opposed the Agreement, here's some examples of how the EU has supported the peace process by investing in N Ireland’s in…

I was surprised by how emotional this film made me
For people my age, The Troubles are a harrowing memory and peace in Northern Ireland a wonderful and moving achievement
The film celebrates the people of Northern Ireland and is well worth your watching

There is so much further to go but this week, take a minute to recognise this historic milestone …

So much damage done to our economy over past 40 years the result of Lawson’s policy
Whether you think of Big Bang giving rise to financial crisis, liberalization of finance allowing money laundering and rise of offshore tax avoidance, or privatization destroying public services

@JoeAHamer Thx, Joe, but The Times seems to have blocked this route 🤔

Translating nuclear waste into clean energy? Sounds like alchemy
Impractical, expensive and too slow to keep us within a safe warming limit
Whose behind it?
Can somebody please get the content of the article out form behind the paywall?

Meanwhile leaving the EU single market will take 4% off our GDP over 15 years
RT @joncstone: this is even worse than it initially sounds because the GDP boost is 0.08% not over one year, not over two years, but over 10 years https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65124741

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
