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

RT @EmilyLincOBrien: Environment Minister George Eustice on @BBCr4today demonstrates astonishing lack of leadership on #NationalFoodStrategy
🌍Meat & dairy reduction entirely relying on technological solutions that don't yet exist.
💸No #UniversalFreeSchoolMeals
🥕No serious obesity action

@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

RT @doug_parr: It is estimated that #renewableenergy is at least four times cheaper than gas, yet consumers pay for ALL of it at the gas price
Decoupling them would save households £330 per year by 2030

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

💪🏽 Henry Dimbleby says there is an ideological arm-wrestle inside the Tory party over his #foodstrategy
🌎 Methinks the biceps of agribusiness will prove larger than the biceps of those defending people and planet

@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!

Find out what benefits former Brexit Secretary @DavidDavisMP comes up with.

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

RT @Ross_Greer: The UK Government's attempt to lift the ban on bringing in agency workers during a strike is a direct attack on the most powerful tool workers have, the ability to withdraw their labour.
It will also endanger public safety as un/under-qualified staff are given critical roles

To grab power for himself #LiarJohnson agreed to the Northern Ireland protocol
It cut the Brexit Gordian knot, but he had no intention of keeping it
This deceit undermines peace in Ireland and turns the UK into an international pariah state

RT @greenmattbfd: 💡 Interesting idea in this article by @joncstone
🚉 A levy on businesses to fund #publictransport similar to what they do in France
💰 It makes sense with public transport being the most expensive and one of the least comprehensive in Europe.
