Hugely disappointing, with world now on track to yet more heating & chaos, & poorest hit first & hardest. This process needs radically rethinking - meantime it’s vital that the Brazil-led coalition of the willing urgently delivers on plans to leave fossil fuels in the ground #COP30

More powerful evidence of the disaster of #Brexit from @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social. If we’re to avoid yet more austerity, we need to start by rejoining the customs union & single market. Brexit was a reckless waste of money we simply can’t afford @europeanmovement.co.uk

The autumn budget will mop up some damage, but the true source of the economic crisis is clear. The government should now fix it – tragically, it won’t, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Gill’s conviction is why our case matters. The European Court ruled states must protect citizens from foreign disinformation - but stopped short of forcing the UK to investigate.
That’s why we’re taking this fight to the Grand Chamber.

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.

My thoughts are with all who lost loved ones or still struggle with effects of #Covid. Tho we knew it at the time, confirmation of the “toxic & chaotic culture” at heart of Govt; that they did “too little, too late” & that faster action could have saved over 20K lives is still horrifying

Any politician who is taking seriously that the next election might be lost to a far-right populist party, should be doing all they can to strengthen protections for vulnerable people. If this is lost, it will go down in history as a moment where everything collapsed.

Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak
