The Brexit disaster.

It has added up to £370m a year to the price of power supplies from Europe, could add up to £10bn by 2029.

Pushes up UK inflation, cost of living crisis, business costs and makes exports uncompetitive.

Rejoining the EU makes sense.

The Hungarian opposition is being hunted down and journalists are under surveillance. Viktor Orbán does not often face a Parliament that holds him accountable.

So in the Strasbourg 🇪🇺 hemicycle, I confronted Viktor Orbán with everything he is trying to hide from Hungarians.

Professor @Kevin_Fong gave truly heart breaking testimony today at the #CovidInquiry

It beggars belief that many conspiracy nut jobs still label this awful pandemic as a hoax or some conspiracy by elites to lock up the population.

Shame on them all.

It’s almost been a year since the cancellation of HS2’s northern leg.

But what has the infrastructure project taught us?

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."

The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".

The fact is that Russian interference is staring us in plain sight. Russian TV hugely boosted Farage's public standing by giving him dozens of appearances, and without Farage, Brexit would not have happened. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.

Please retweet if you want a Starmer government to set up an inquiry into Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.

As someone who was on the Intelligence and security committee at the time of the Russian enquiry, it would be a public service to release the unredacted report.

Demand-side policies hold the key to accelerating the managed decline of fossil fuels. By reducing demand, we can mitigate exposure to volatile markets while cutting #emissions. @GavinBridge9 @CarolineKuzemko and @stefanbuzar et al explain how: https://t.co/aTuq9FUJKV

An important point made by former active travel minister Trudy Harrison today:

In schools, when you ask how many kids cycle to school: no hands go up.

When you ask how many kids would like to cycle to school: all the hands go up. 🙋‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

We owe it to kids to enable them.

Victoria Derbyshire to replace Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC?

RT if you agree.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

The Government spends £10 billion a year supporting the fossil fuel industry, pushing us off an existential cliff edge.

Should we instead invest a similar amount in sustainable energy technologies?

That's what I asked the Director for Regulation and Economics at Octopus Energy.

[Alan Whitehead @alanwhiteheadmp]

The government’s oil and gas bill must have been a wheeze cooked up by some advisors over a heavy lunch - it should never have made it all the way to Parliament.

It is a sad reflection of how far the government has retreated from serious energy policy and UK climate leadership.
