Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

Do you want to stop eggs from caged systems entering the UK? I’ve just asked my MP to attend the Stop Cruel Imports parliamentary event so that imports must meet the UK’s animal welfare standards. Ask your MP too! https://t.co/Lz4PyKMq9x #stopcruelimports

Sigh…..😞

Another day, another wildly misleading Daily Mail headline.

Labelling on animal products can mask the reality of factory farming where animals have been intensively farmed indoors their entire lives. Ask for Honest Labelling today. https://t.co/KComb1s1H1 #HonestLabelling

A few potential words of the day:

Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).

Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.

Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.

Merry Christmas.

Did you know that 8 million egg laying hens in the UK are still confined in cages? If you want UK egg production to be 100% cage-free, join me today and email the new Secretary of State at Defra. #banhencages https://t.co/FgRU9O6PTL

3°C warming will devastate us all. @POTUS @vonderleyen @LulaOficial, unite around an ambitious NCQG that provides developing countries with the finance needed to tackle the climate emergency. Not doing so puts lives and ecosystems at risk. #COP29

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬
