Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

This month marks the 5th anniversary of the UK/EU #Brexit agreement that we now know as facts has: • shrank our economy • hollowed out public services . increased legal migration • stripped rights & protections • locking a desperate UK into US led deregulation & inferior trade deals In this article 'Hopes & Fears for 2026' I explain why its time for Labour to urgently seek a Swiss Style Agreement with the EU to repair some of the #BrexitDisaster asap To expand on my argument - this approach would involve multiple sector-specific bilateral agreements, mirroring Switzerland's setup with dynamic alignment in key areas like goods and services, managed via joint committees. It is a much more viable option as the EU finalised a new deal with Switzerland in 2024, offering lessons for UK "reset" talks without full single market re-entry or ECJ dominance. This option would also preserve more UK sovereignty on trade policy than a customs union. A Swiss-style agreement also aligns with current UK-EU "reset" efforts, such as phytosanitary deals, and avoid customs union's sovereignty trade-offs. Labour's continuing internal divisions on the EU makes a Swiss model a far more pragmatic and achievable option to repairing trade and other damage in a much shorter time line - eg before the next general election.

Donald Trump will spend Christmas Eve with his billionaire friends at Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayers' dime. Barack Obama spent his Christmas Eve as President surprising kids at a children's hospital. Don't forget what real leadership looks like.

We’re on the way!
