The fact that hackers accessed data of 40 million people on the electoral roll is hugely alarming. The fact the Electoral Commission covered it up for a year is shameful. @VoteTrueAndFair believes in modernising and strengthen our democracy, including properly funding and strengthening an independent Electoral Commission @guardian view on the electoral commission hack: #democracy needs stronger safeguards theguardian.com/commentisfre…

All these trade deals have yet to add up to a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of Brexit. And by the government's own assessments, they never will.

Since Brexit, Britain has joined the CPTPP and signed FTAs with New Zealand, Australia and Japan. We are now at the closing stages of negotiations with India and the UK-Gulf cooperation council. Let’s stop talking Britain down and start working to maximise our opportunities.

Why are both main parties behaving as if the entire country will vote according to the concerns of the people of Uxbridge? No other way to explain the sudden sprint away from Net Zero and other green initiatives. (Which were in any case not the factor there.)

The birth of a Hot House Earth as politicians promise net zero 2050 to prevent climate disaster in 2050 that is already happening now and all to sustain unsustainable economic growth and corporate domination of the billionaire class x.com/CBSSunday/status/16881…

Temperature records have been breaking all over, as our Earth registers some of the hottest periods ever measured. Experts say it's the "new normal." cbsn.ws/3Yo8bca

Its sobering to realise the £40 Billion a year lost in tax from the Brexit damage to output could have paid for the full wage increases for the UK public sector and tax rises wouldn’t have been needed. #irony

Ok Cmon Mr Sunak Mr Murdoch @GBNEWS anyone with a voice or clout. Want to argue with Mr Attenborough?
This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again

Labour's National Policy Forum has kicked the PR issue into the long grass. That is absolutely not good enough. The fundamental point is a simple & obvious one; the sole question is mechanism - & there is plenty of excellent empirical & mathematical evidence on the best options.
