I've just used @Shelter easy tool to contact my local candidates at the next General Election - asking them to commit to ending the housing emergency. You can too!: Wannabe my MP? End the housing emergency! https://t.co/0BIRmWjmfi
It's been an utterly abominable 24 hours for Brexit news:
- The UK gave up on negotiations to extend our trade deal with Canada, leaving us worse off than when we were an EU member
https://t.co/EkwL7Ux6TG
- New incoming border checks will add £200 million a year to the cost of our food and drink.
https://t.co/gxYDOLZdeE
- MPs were warned that the EU's upcoming ETIAS/EES border systems may lead to 14-hour queues to enter (the rest of) Europe from the autumn.

- There were warnings of possible shortages of flowers for Valentines Day because of the new incoming border checks.

- A plan to extend visas for British expats in France from 90 to 180 days was blocked by France's Constitutional Council court (a decision which has no right of appeal).

- Rishi Sunak's pledge to ensure no future laws can create a border down the Irish Sea has gone down like a bucket of sick in TUV quarters. (And has sent the blood pressure of the usual suspect Brexiters sky-high.)

- The EU's plans to increase bulk medicine procurement across the bloc risk creating shortages in Britain because they have very significantly greater buying power than the UK does.
