Conservative MP Victoria Atkins tells #bbcqt audience to ‘move on’ because Brexit “happened six years ago”. This gentleman rightly calls out the absurdity of her position. The sooner we start talking about the damage of Brexit, the quicker we can work our way out of this mess.

Removing charitable status from private schools would raise £1,700,000,000 a year – almost twice the cost of providing free school meals for all primary school children. That's not a "difficult decision", is it @Jeremy_Hunt? #FreeSchoolMealsForAll coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-…

The Government Just Took Away YOUR FREEDOM @GeorgeMonbiot

This autonomous boat eats trash and is powered by 100% #cleanenergy - cleaning up over 50,000 kg of debris a day. Time to clean up our mess, end #plasticpollution, and #ActOnClimate. #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #waste #useless #buyless #GreenNewDeal

COP27 is the culmination of 50 years of deliberate, engineered failure. The world's governments look like a death cult, built around the demands of elderly billionaires. My column. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Congratulations to our Year 8 football team who beat Bideford 5-4 on penalties to make it through to the ND final. The closely fought semi-final match ended 1-1 after normal time, with the goal coming from Max Wood. The team will meet Ilfracombe in the final next week. Good luck!

If you think climate protesters are inconvenient, just wait until you see what unmitigated climate change will do to our lives moving forward. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climateemergency #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal

Brexit. The OBR says bit.ly/3geqdfn "Brexit has had a significant adverse impact on UK trade...Our trade forecast reflects our assumption that Brexit will result in the UK’s trade intensity being 15 per cent lower in the long run than if the UK had remained in the EU."

I have so many questions. How will this scale? How will it taste? But still a very thought-provoking two minutes from @GeorgeMonbiot, and I say that as someone quite wary of tech-solutions. Animal agriculture is ~15% of the climate crisis and needs to end.

Comment from a Dutch banker here, "The British had the entire European banking market at their feet, total control and they threw it all away.for their stupid Brexit. We are still laughing"

🔥 Oof!! HUGE poll from YouGov. 🔥 “In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union?” Right to Leave: 32% Wrong to Leave: 56% Largest ever gap (+24)… and that gap has been opening wider & wider over this year.

India is lining their canals with #solarpower. It provides #cleanenergy and stops water evaporation at the same time. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #renewables #solar #GreenNewDeal #cop27
