New petition: Fund new reservoirs to increase future water supplies

England faces growing pressure on its water supplies due to factors like population growth, climate change and rising demand. The Government estimates 5 billion litres more water per day will be needed by 2050. Substantial additional water storage capacity will be needed to meet this challenge.

In the league table of easier trade: A FTA is surpassed by a customs union with another; surpassed by a single market with another. UK will never compensate its Brexit losses unless it agrees a customs union inside a single market with another minimum 500m consumers.. 20 miles off shore

Are we at the point now where Brexit is just accepted to cause problems in all the areas is was expected to by experts who were rubbished at the time of the vote? The economy, immigration, NI, British freedom (gone) in Europe- all now worse permanently because we left the SM. Who's going to fix it?

Michael@vivamjm.bsky.social · last yr.

To be honest I'm bored of all this now. None of it is, was ever, or should be "news".. The always adverse consequences & ramifications of Brexit (TCA & NIP/WF) were *always* obvious to anybody with a modicum? of understanding of trade @nick1webb.bsky.social

Ep 5 is out now wherever you get your podcasts! It's meaty and juicy but not lab grown, which is how we like our beef...

@podfoodfighters.bsky.social · last yr.

Ep5 is here! We're going big on Liz's legal challenge that could derail deregulation and seriously scupper Starmer's plans. Lab grown meat is under the microscope and somehow we sidetrack into a debate about driving before careering into the PM's comms car crash. 👇 share.transistor.fm/s/a0b08f13

“Defra has no effective system of oversight for [biosecurity] border controls”, which is “not simply an operational concern but continues to present real threats to the health of UK animals and plants and therefore the viability of our sector” Sigh!! 🙄 committees.parliament.uk/committee/52...

If these facilities are ever used for what they were built for the UK will have border chaos with less choice and higher price of goods hitting businesses and public hard. If not used without joining SM we are an open border smugglers paradise. Both are awful options compared to SM/EU membership.

Michael@vivamjm.bsky.social · last yr.

Again worth pointing out these facilities *were NEEDED* for the Brexit that UK wanted, negotiated & got. Some of us been warning since 2016 UK would not have ops ("red tape"personnel) capacity it needed for this. Brexit choices were always as follows...1/5 www.politico.eu/article/brex...
