We've been granted judicial review – we're taking the government to court over the delay and abandonment of key Net Zero policies .
At this crisis point for nature and climate we need robust leadership that listens to best informed advice , not short termism and politicking .
#politicslive Dear Jo, do get some objective commentators on the EU economy on your panel What your (conservative) panel members are saying abut brexit is just not acceptable.

Where is #PrinceWilliam and all his noise about "repairing the planet" now that his friend David Attenborough is being cancelled by the BBC?
scary this
TBF @GaryLineker is absolutely correct. Here’s a synopsis of the facts. Your racist party & incompetent Govt is demeaning foreigners to ensure the racist voters vote Tory. Shame on you all!

Don’t see the issue.
No mention of Nazi’s or Fascism.
And factually, the rhetoric of “invasion” and demonising asylum seekers is very much the language of the 1930s in Germany (and Italy).

Trying to silence him!

"Many people are surprised that so far, the United States, European Union or United Kingdom have not placed Lisin on any of its sanctions list. It has been claimed that Lisin’s close connections with the Belgian Royal Family may be helping him avoid being targeted."
Behind the scenes of sanctions-making: Belgium declined to vote for the latest package which included sanctions on Russian steel, but didn't veto it. The first time in eight rounds of sanctions that one of the 27 member states had failed to vote in favour. ft.com/content/529df0ef-7c1a…

#politicslive How can Julia say that thousands of people died from Covid in France and Germany when everyone knows comparatively many more people died in Britain. Even though the official UK figures are way lower than the actual number of deaths.

Jammer. Ondanks de uitdagende en snedige vragen zullen we haar toch missen. Echt.
Blijft bijzonder dat iemand in de fleur van haar leven moet stoppen met werken.
Geniet van het nieuwe hoofdstuk in je leven, @lindewin
