UK is the only major economy predicted to decline this year
From Brexit to the mini-budget, the Tories have been a disaster for our economy
And we are all paying the price every day

Three years on from Brexit, all UK voters are left with is a bitter taste of Bregret
@pollytoynbee assembles the devastating evidence of the economic disaster of Brexit
I'm more confused about why the subtitle says @UKLabour is right to accept it

The IMF says the UK economy will do worse than any other major developed economy this year
Three years on, it really is time to admit that Brexit was a horrible mistake and begin our plans to #RejoinEU

@ken_hobbs My daughter lives in Glasgow and we always visit by train. I also always take train and ferry to Belfast. It costs more so I travel less. No big deal

@jonnyjaero If Greens were in government we would be developing an aviation policy fit for the climate emergency

@sammorganmoore It’s about storage, balancing the grid, and investing in non-intermittent renewables such as tidal energy

@jonnyjaero And I agree about the need for greater investment in rail. Obviously I know what you mean about the west country where I’ve travelled around extensively as MEP

@jonnyjaero That's strangely different from what I was hearing on the news where they said West Country airports at Exeter and Newquay were important routes
Nobody is disputing the need for some air connections to Belfast, although I always go by sea

Flybe collapses and cancels all flights
Most Flybe routes were short and had viable alternative train route
In a climate emergency when many countries are phasing out domestic flights altogether this collapse was inevitable

More than half our electricity is coming from wind energy this morning
With commitment, investment and demand reduction we could rapidly move to 100% renewables
Let's do this!

Barnier is right
The social, political and economic crises facing the UK are not caused by Brexit
But all are made worse because of Brexit

The Zahawi scandal was always going to result in his sacking
The delay demonstrates Sunak’s lack of experience and poor judgement
He has now demonstrated that he believes in neither principle nor ‘due process’

This graphic will please Labour
It represents people desperate enough to believe the myth that the Tories care about them changing their minds
Neither Brexit nor Tory government worked for them
We need to repair the damage from Brexit, not just the damage from Tory government

So much debate about people leaving the workforce
After decades of bullying management techniques and reducing real terms wages, how can anybody be surprised about this?
Treat people well, respect them, and pay them properly
It’s simple really

Really concerning to hear Nick Clegg and Helle Thorning-Schmidt justifying Facebook’s decision to allow Trump back onto the platform
He still denies the result of the 2020 election and is still instigating violence against electoral… https://mastodonapp.uk/@Molly/109765888235078907

@DangerousMouse4 Our policy is that all tax returns should be published, as in Norway

HMRC boss tells MPs ‘innocent errors’ are not penalised, amid Zahawi tax row
Unusual but welcome to see head of tax office cutting through Tory b******t
If Zahawi had been clean he wouldn’t have been fined
He should have already been sacked
