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

Brexit of no Brexit we're going to need an adequately funded Green New Deal. Green QE must have a central role

FT editorial calls for Green QE in Europe - let’s do the same here to fund #GreenNewDeal. This would bring green jobs to every constituency, revitalise communities undermined by deindustrialisation & austerity, & tackle climate crisis. Our letter to @FT: ft.com/content/d5168834-1052…

Colin Hines @HinesColin FT letter - A US Green New Deal that emphasises the social and community advantages of its labour intensive ‘Jobs in Every District’ programme could be the cornerstone of the Democrats campaign to beat President Trump in 2020. greennewdealgroup.org/?p=362

Happy New Year and lets make 2019 the year of a Green New Deal as per Richard Murphy and my letter in today’s Guardian greennewdealgroup.org/?p=358. Brexit obsessed UK media has missed the US Green New Deal now centre stage see NYT Paul Krugman article nyti.ms/2GMcJFm.

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…

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

Our children’s lives are on the line. Not a single elected official, Democrat OR Republican, should accept money from fossil fuel corporations. Americans are dying because of a government too coward to save the planet. It’s wrong. And we will need a Green New Deal to survive.

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

Why do progressives get it so wrong on migration and so increase the likelihood of a hard Brexit. Instead that they should call for minimising "new, large-scale, permanent migration" progressiveprotectionism.com…
