Majority of Britons support the UK applying to join the EU but 4 in 10 think it would harm Britain’s ability to act in its own best interests.

British salmon stripped of Soil Association organic status
due to environmental and welfare failures throughout the industry.
Well done @SoilAssociation 👏👏👏 of course you can also now drop that appeal you made to the Upper Tribunal against the @WildFishCons ruling that you must disclose your inspection records. Why not publish them voluntarily this afternoon?
And as for the others that still greenwash for the salmon industry? @RSPCA_official @rspcaassured are you next to withdraw your support?

Tories plan £36bn social security cut.
It would cut benefits for old, sick, disabled and reintroduce the two-child benefit cap.
Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich, low wages, profiteering, £700bn tax not collected in the last 20 years

Soil Association pulls out of organic salmon following Green Britain Foundation campaign.
GBF praises Soil Association's courage and calls on RSPCA Assured to follow its lead.
The Soil Association is pulling out of organic salmon. Its logo will be gone from farmed salmon by 2028. The decision follows a campaign led by the Green Britain Foundation that exposed cruelty and pollution on organic salmon farms.
Dale Vince, founder of the Green Britain Foundation, said:
"This is a huge win for our campaign. We went inside these farms and filmed what the organic logo was hiding. Then we dug into the data and the science. We built a file of evidence so strong the Soil Association could not look away and they acted.
It takes courage to walk away from an industry this powerful. The Soil Association has done the right thing. It has restored the integrity of the organic label and deserves real credit for that.
RSPCA Assured must follow its lead too. Its logo is on most Scottish farmed salmon. It suspended a farm we filmed beating fish to death, then let it back in weeks later. No label can make these farms kind to fish."
The Green Britain Foundation is now calling for:
Defra to end the inclusion of salmon as an organic product. The salmon industry is soaked in toxic chemicals and can never meet the standards consumers expect of organic food.
Retailers to stop using the Soil Association label on salmon packaging now.
RSPCA Assured to stop certifying farmed salmon. They supposedly stand against 'cruelty to animals' yet salmon farming is guaranteed to harm fish.

How TF is this still happening?!
10 years on from that bloody Brexit vote, and a senior Reform leader thinks we can go and do our own trade deals with EU countries! 🤯🤯🤯
We can't.
We never could.
Trade with any of them = a deal with all 27
…and this lot want to run the country.

The way National Grid are ‘regulated’ is a scandal.
This is vital national infrastructure that has to be invested in, but we need not allow them to make such rip off margins. Right wing commentators have weighed in conflating this with net zero - that’s nonsense, the grid we have is not fit for purpose - and the move to green energy is unavoidable - and in our own economic interests.
It’s not about net zero it’s about how we control the profits of privately owned monopolies.

I’ve been calling for eco pragmatism rather than eco zealotry - that’s what this is, it’s what we need.
Common sense, adapt targets to suit circumstances.
And still pursue net zero.

British politics is unique for the way it allows ludicrous novelty characters to share the stage.

Such a powerful moment. So depressing it needs to be said. And shows importance of televising key judgments like that.
Pure. Vulture. Capitalism. @GordonBrothers
Exclusive: In a message to staff, Poundland’s boss hails an £86m turnaround in the retailer’s fortunes.
But for almost two weeks, Poundland has been unable to buy new stock because its owner, Gordon Brothers, has restricted access to funding.
The business is selling what it has but cannot replenish its shelves. And administration looms.
What a mess. Full story 👇

The UK govt’s denial of foreign interference has allowed social media platforms to bury this stuff over years. Burnham’s acknowledgement over Russia & Brexit is a huge leap forward…but is also only the tip of the iceberg.
