🚨🚨This. This. This. Absolutely this by Peter. The negative impact of #brexit for the UK economy is incontrovertible. Reliable estimates by OBR states that the ’ (TCA) will reduce long-run productivity by 4 per cent relative to remaining in the EU. /1

A new malaria vaccine now being rolled out after 30 years of work by a team at the Jenner Institute in Oxford, led by Magdalen College Fellow, Professor Sir Adrian Hill.
Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

In times of national crisis the tories not only syphoned off money for their mates, they sacrificed the sick and poor. When they crashed the economy, they wanted to sacrifice the NHS and cancer patients. #TaxTheRich and stop payments to the Leeches lettuce

This day, 29 years ago, Budapest Memorandum was signed. Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for Security Assurances from Russia, the UK, and the USA. All nukes were given under Kremlin control, as the US believed it was easier to deal with one big nuclear state. ⚰️

In her leadership bid, Kemi Badenoch has blamed Tony Blair for everything that’s wrong with Britain. (Okay, grandma.)

Not Brexit, not austerity, not Truss crashing the economy. Because all these things are still okay in the Conservative mindset.

One reason why we don’t need these people back ever.

A warning to accountants. The cowboy R&D claims firms know that refunds are under huge HMRC scrutiny. Instead, they're identifying companies about to submit corporation tax returns, and changing them at the last minute to add R&D relief. Please watch out for this.

France is building out parking lot solar, mandated by law. The estimated output will equal that of several of their nuclear power plants. Depending on size, owners have 3-5yrs to comply but projects can be completed in less time. 🧪🔌💡🔌🚗
