A widely supported plan for a UK Green New Deal exists, what is lacking is the political will to put its proposals into action c.f. President Kennedy’s successful 1961 call to put a man on the moon, but this time we need to save the planet, not leave it greennewdealgroup.org/?p=386

Fight Brexit blues read how the Green New Deal is roaring up the policy agenda, not just via Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the US, but in a burgeoning flurry of political and activists support in the UK for revitalising our social and green infrastructure. greennewdealgroup.org/?p=366

To Reverse Brexit in a Peoples Vote, remainers must put centre stage that the EU already allows Member States to have managed migration policies, otherwise immigration worries could ensure a second leave result progressiveprotectionism.com/wordpress/?p=4…

A left-wing Brexit is an oxymoron and a diversion from the crucial campaign for a remain victory in a Peoples Vote shar.es/a1dHDP

Corbyn’s call for a “green jobs revolution in every nation and region” must target energy-efficiency in UK's 30 million buildings to create multi skilled local jobs for decades and help left behind local economies. A Green New Deal for every constituency. greennewdealgroup.org/?p=345

Future of politics will be dominated by migration. Right wing populists will continue to win until the interests of the countries the migrants have left, the migrants themselves, and the majority in the recipient countries are addressed by progressives shar.es/anEmUl

No effective opposition to right wing populism if ‘alt-liberals’ continue to call stricter immigration controls racist. Progressives’ focus on migrants’ interests must widen to also consider those in recipient countries and the countries they leave. shar.es/an6xlC
