A 50% swap to plant proteins in the US could free up 47.3M acres of US cropland - equal to the size of South Dakota Restoring this land can revive 64% of the most threatened US ecosystems & sequester 177.8M tons of CO2 - more than all US domestic flights rb.gy/vfp7kg

Thanks to @BBCQuestionTime for having me on this evening. We discussed crucial issues facing the UK, including the proposed cuts to winter fuel payments. I argued that what looks like savings in the short term might be a cost in the long term. Cutting support to vulnerable

stellacreasy LME and the government would do well to read this article, from john clarke (read the bio!), and this section on an SPS agreement in particular. There's a huge amount to do to achieve anything with the EU. bylinesupplement.com/p/keir-starmer…

stellacreasy john clarke All of which is roughly in line with my UK-EU reset paper. This is a long-term process which needs a new UK approach, as well as changes on the EU side (though the EU fanatics will always disagree with any such framing). ecipe.org/publications/n…

Super linked article about Labour, the EU, and where it should go next - from an author who clearly knows his subject (check out his profile). And the chances of Starmer's political head McSweeney agreeing with any of this informed assessment....?

Important reminder that the EU may soon lose its first-mover advantage if the EU-Mercosur agreement isn't finalized & ratified soon... 👇

The coveted #40 spot among online EU influencers... though wondering if one day some folk in London might notice I have Brussels connections...

Robert Jenrick’s top donor received loan from untraceable BVI firm £75,000 in donations from The Spott Fitness which: - has no employees - never made a profit - most recent accounts show it owes £332,000, raising questions about ultimate source of funds tortoisemedia.com/2024/09/20/rob…

"EU to offer new youth mobility scheme in test of Labour ‘reset’ with Brussels Officials warn repeat of Tory rejection could dent new government’s hopes of pacts on defence and agriculture" Excellent idea. Force Labour off the fence, one way or the other. theguardian.com/world/2024/sep…

Give it time! See my article in yesterday’s Byline Times on exactly this subject. And Starmer’s need for a Keynesian alibi to rejoin.. bylinesupplement.com/p/keir-starmer…

Save Freedom of Movement 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 “Brussels” also wants reciprocal free movement. Indeed they’re suggesting that should be a precondition for the ‘reset’ negotiations Starmer has promised. Only his red lines stand in the way.

Exactly. The EU has bigger fish to fry, even though there rests a lot of goodwill towards Labour. See my article in Byline Times on how to reinvigorate the relationship - with apologies to Jimmy Cliff! bylinesupplement.com/p/keir-starmer…

A total horror. As if the annihilation of Palestine is not enough, Israel is now bombing Lebanon and killing civilians and the world shuts its eyes. I was in Baalbek last year and am appalled to see this place being destroyed by the genocidal IDF. And no one seems to care….
