Social media this morning is a zombie apocalypse of dinosaur Tory politicians and right wing hangers-on hankering after the nasty Brexit wars of the last decade. Our country has moved on!

I can guarantee if this government announced a young person freedom of movement deal, our business would crack on with growing their business, care owners would resupply staff, restaurants will be able to open 7 days a week, the Eurostar would be hopping. It is a no brainer.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

2/3 It's polluting our oceans, decimating wild fish populations, and causing immense animal suffering.

The idea that any of this could be considered 'organic' is as absurd as burning fossil fuels and calling it green energy.

1/3 This scandal with so-called 'organic' salmon is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are consumers being duped into paying premium prices for farmed salmon doused in toxic chemicals, but the entire practice of fish farming is an environmental disaster.
