The EU single market is an impressive political achievement
@GreensEFA MEPs have ensured that it offers protection to people and planet
I’m proud to have a chapter in this new report from @boell_eu
RT @boell_eu: 🟢 The 🇪🇺 #SingleMarket turns 3⃣0⃣ in 2023. How should it develop to favour #Europe's socio-ecological transformation, stronger common economic, financial & social policies, and an ever-stronger political union? 🏭♻️💶

Cancelling fuel duty freeze could pay for public sector pay rise, says IFS
This would be an easy decision for a Green chancellor
Hunt should pay public-sector workers a decent wage and end the strikes
And reverse decades of handouts to car drivers

It's great to see the end of the era of Tories deliberately picking fights with EU
But it was on the basis that this deal was already done that they won the 2019 election

Coffey's utter incompetence demonstrated that the government hasn't thought at all about the complicated matter of food supply chains
In an era of climate crisis and Brexit trade issues this is deeply worrying
RT @BestForBritain: Someone call Therese we’ve ran out of turnips now too!

This shower have been in government because #LiarJohnson promised this deal was oven ready in December 2019
They lied and lied again and are not a legitimate government

UK slams ‘protectionist’ Biden
We fall out with EU and now with US too

Government finances much stronger than predicted
Now is the time for government to give public-sector workers the pay rise they deserve
And end the strikes and disruption
RT @andyverity: 'Public sector net borrowing in January 2023 was in surplus by £5.4 billion, which was a £7.1 billion smaller surplus than in January 2022 but a £5.0 billion larger surplus than forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility' - ONS.

@mattstratford @ChilternGreens @AdrianRamsay @carla_denyer @ZackPolanski Can you explain how HS2 builds local rail capacity
For example, how does it help me get our local station reopened so I don’t have to travel to Cheltenham to get to Plymouth?

Look at the graph - Euro gas prices back to pre-war levels
But we’re still facing bills rising in April
Fossil energy market is rife with speculation and does not work for consumers
We need more powerful political intervention - and rapid transition

Govt plan to halve inflation will suddenly become more effective when gas prices rises drop out of inflation figure a year after they impacted
Inflation is about *year on year* price change
Govt policy is like seeing a storm approaching and claiming you invoke the power of Thor

@CatHobbs @We_OwnIt Hi Cat
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that we shouldn’t be celebrating fossil fuel profits in a climate emergency
We need fossil companies in public hands so that we can manage their rapid decline

@DrJoGrady I’m striking at Roehampton where we also have a local dispute over workloads
Massive increases in student numbers, a doubled workload and indiscriminate use of VLs - trashing the quality of HE

There is no comparison between the quality of Sturgeon and the hubris of Johnson and Truss
Scotland generates good leaders because they have strong political culture, an open and fair democracy, and a commitment to education
Why should they be held back by English obscurantism?

@Nipster90 The downward trend I like and have probably contributed to with legislative changes I helped negotiate

Profits that feed greedy shareholders and trash the planet
