Prof Catherine Rowett 💚 Ex-MEP @catherinerowett@respublicae.eu

@keith_wilson It's partly Brexit-related, in that Brexit is pushing up prices, putting British farmers out of production and adding obstacles, but there's plenty of food in other shops. So the reason why supermarkets in Europe have plenty and ours don't is actually our supermarket system.

Britain's weird supermarket culture is dysfunctional. Nowhere else has it. But it's part of the disgraceful culture of low pay/cheap food which puts farmers out of business and damages productivity. Economically illiterate, and a threat to food security.

Suella Braverman is a disgrace to this country. I can see who needs to be deported as a threat to our values, and it's not the people she's attacking. #RefugeesWelcome

@littlegreydog3 Because the person who controls the vehicle is responsible for controlling it and taking steps to avoid killing people. It's unlikely that the driver had any control of which line his train was on or whether another was on the same line.

@littlegreydog3 Just pointing out that the millions killed on the road every day are not news, because we've normalised the expectation that drivers will crash and kill people. Whereas when a train crashes, or a plane, or an earthquake or a tornado, the death toll is considered a disaster.

@littlegreydog3 @greenbenali On the contrary. What he is doing is illegal but the people he is attacking have a legal right to seek refuge and we have a legal obligation to provide a safe way for them to do so and a speedy decision on whether they qualify (which we are not doing).

Since judgements about crime necessarily involve questions about intentions and motives and proportionality between the damage done and the need to take action, it is surely completely bizarre to outlaw any mention of the problem the alleged criminal was trying to fend off. 🙄🤔

RT @Tom___Scott: Classic case of what journalists call 'burying the lead.

The real story here is that Matt Hancock & Rishi Sunak hid the fact that #EatOutToHelpOut was killing people.

But the Telegraph wants to promote the fiction that new variants were nothing to worry about.
