#remainer but keen to debate with leavers as well to learn the issues and focus the debate on facts and not end up in an echo chamber.

I've waited seven years for this moment.

More superb reporting from @BBCNewsnight tonight on the catastrophic impact of Brexit
Running out of MPs? Bizarre. Would be quite funny if appointed him Brexit minister. What’s next. Theresa May, Boris and Truss back too? Whole cabinet of old PMs would be quite funny.

Great that twitter has this counter information right below the tweet. Which basically says non of these are part of net zero plans. It’s a deliberate attempt to mislead on what net zero means for people.
We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.
We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.
ALT Decorative graphic saying: We’re stopping heavy-handed measures: X Taxes on eating meat. X New taxes to discourage flying. X Sorting your rubbish into seven different bins. X Compulsory car sharing. X Expensive insulation upgrades. A new approach to reach Net Zero.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
None of those listed policies are included in the governments own Net-Zero Strategy.

🔥 In Oct 2016, David Davis, the then Brexit secretary, told the House of Commons that “there will be no downside to Brexit at all, and considerable upsides”.
Well, today the "Davis Downside Dossier" - which records Brexit downsides - just passed 1,000:

UK is Europe’s most gas addicted country
Heat pumps installed:
🇫🇷 3.1m
🇳🇴 1.3m
🇬🇧 280k
If UK had installed as many heat pumps as Estonia, domestic gas prices would be 34% lower than last year
Gas imports 19% lower
💚 Time for a retrofit revolution!

Wow. After introducing his guest as “a particularly distinguished professor of economics at Kings college London” Jacob Rees-Mogg squirms as he’s told some hard truths about the damage of Brexit. Watch in disbelief at what comes next

"We're shutting the door on victims being trafficked into slavery..."

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

Please do not put words in my mouth. No, I do not think it is right nor moral to tolerate criminal gangs trafficking the vulnerable people, but by not giving the asylum seekers safe routes you are exacerbating the problem.

🔥 This is an absolute roasting of Tom Harwood's #BBCQT performance last night - and a valid questioning of his presence on there in the first place.
Brutal analysis. And *must watch*.

Watch Jonathan Gullis getting his arse handed to him on the very basics of how the asylum system works.
