Climate change is already damaging the nature, beauty and heritage we care for. Without deep and sustained cuts to emissions, nature faces an even more perilous future and the places people love will continue to suffer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏 PM Keir Starmer

Some honesty at last Labour MP blames Brexit for Rachel Reeves’ tax-hiking Budget last Oct, adding that he hopes Britain rejoins the EU in his lifetime. Andrew Lewin said leaving EU left Britain £40bn poorer per year, adding that “were we still members… there would not have been a single tax rise”

Andy Burnham wants to see Britain rejoin the EU. He has urged his party to call out the financial disaster of Brexit, adding that "the growth is not there as it once was. Long term, I’m going to be honest, I’m going to say it. I hope in my lifetime I see this country rejoin.” RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Here's Andy Burnham criticising Starmer's "culture of fear" in the party. So in other words, the political and economic stress of dealing with Brexit is tearing Labour apart just like it did the Tories. This isn't normal. We've had a decade of it, and could be on the verge of our 7th new Brexit PM!

We’ve just moved into an old house where the carpet underlay seems to consist entirely of copies of the Times 1965-1970, and it’s kind of reassuring to find the headlines (arms sales to Israel, teachers’ strike, rows about some MP calling another MP a drunken buffoon) are so utterly relatable

Never let us forget the crucial distinction between nationalism and patriotism. The former is a destructive ideology; the latter celebrates all that is best in a country's values. The difference between hate and violence on the streets of London and Last Night of the Proms!

Emily Thornberry, "I have to admit that when Brexit happened I thought the problem of Gibraltar was going to be so difficult that I really couldn't see how we would ever get over it" So basically the UK continues to celebrate the end of FOM with the EU, while Gibraltar is celebrating FOM 👍

The European Convention on Human Rights has endured wars, political shocks, and rapid change for 75 years. In a world that is changing fast, law must provide stability. We need strong, stable legal institutions.

In @lemonde.fr, I warned against politicising the European Court of Human Rights — a cornerstone of global European public order. If some governments have political issues with the Court’s case-law, then they should deal with them at political level. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
