We’re going to spend decades negotiating to help tackle the impact of Brexit on everything from the music industry and the City of London to car manufacturing and tourism. Instead, why can’t politicians explain to voters why it’s in the U.K’s interest to be inside the single market and customs union. There is no country in Western Europe that isn’t in some combination of these, or is applying to join. How are we the only one whose national interest is to be entirely separate from the continent’s market structures? I honestly think politicians underestimate the intelligence of voters. Nobody has really bothered to explain to people what the single market and customs union actually do.

Today, the govt pushed ahead with the most brutal, stupid and damaging responses to problems they created in the first place. This is where xenophobia and ‘sovereignty’ get you; breaking international law and sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Shameless, the lot of them.

@ThePerryHillPub Such a shame!! Will pop in for a couple with our fury friend anyway 🐶

Yesterday I said goodnight to my daughter Hannah for the last time. Today I said good morning to my child Noah for the first time. They bear a striking resemblance. And have an equal disdain for their dad.

@coldplay so good to hear you are looking at reducing the carbon footprint of your tour. I know you will inspire many people to do so much more. You have inspired me. Thank you. #sustainability #ClimateCrisis

The Afghans we were with in February, were all executed outside their homes in Kandahar on Thursday.

Thank you #EnglandTeam #EnglandFootballTeam for putting the heart, soul and magic back into the beautiful game. You are all heros.

@Ankaman616 What an amazing group of young players, they showed love, passion and commitment and they took it all the way. They made us all proud and they should feel strong, keep your heads up high lads, and stay safe⚽️🥇🥇

"What is wrong with some people? It's so so sad and ridiculous!"

On #BBCBreakfast Alan Shearer has condemned the racist abuse that a number of England players have received following England's #EURO2020 final defeat last night.

Isn't it funny that the same people who are calling us naive for believing change is possible are the ones who believe fossil fuel companies, big polluters and oil producing nations will ”fix” the climate- and ecological crisis with their vague, distant ”net zero” commitments...?

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

While Downing St announces their deal as a victory let’s be clear about what’s happened. A trade deal has been negotiated to make trade less smooth and less simple. The economy will take a hit. In return we no longer have free movement to 27 other countries. BUT blue passports.

[Rt. Hon. Anna Turley MP @annaturley]

I’m so ashamed and embarrassed by this. I can only apologise on behalf of these people. They are the absolute pits of our country. 😔 🇬🇧🤝🇩🇪

@TripIt I removed the app from my phone over a year ago but the system is still reading my emails. How do I stop this from happening?

I just signed a petition to demand that the 4 police officers involved in murdered George Floyd be arrested and charged immediately. You should too: https://t.co/vqV59xCAhF
