Not a speechmaker but a strategist: Keir Starmer’s approach to Europe is all about quiet progress.

The big picture? Less divergence, more alignment, & cautious bridge-building.

The UK is changing direction.

Quietly, Starmer is closing our gaps with Europe
Starmer’s refusal to consider a return to the EU or the single market angers Europhiles, but a new report suggests a quiet change.

BBC Farming Today reports that the Office for Environmental Protection believes Defra may have broken environmental laws in 2023/2024…

…by allowing neonicotinoid pesticides known to be harmful to bees & insects. The last govt gave emergency authorisation for use on sugar beet for last 4 years.
Where are all the insects?
Can you really have a picnic without wasps these days? And is it true there are fewer bees and butterflies than before?

“Pesticides that harm bees were found in the majority of English waterways tested in the last year” - Pesticides that are banned in the EU but allowed in the UK due to our Brexit ‘freedoms’ 🤔

It took 13 years to build a following of nearly 300k on Twitter, and that reach was really useful for charity stuff and so on.
It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting
