. @andyburnham.bsky.social North Sea oil won't lower bills, but it will sell our futures to big oil. Last year you supported the Fossil Fuel Treaty and called for a just end to oil and gas expansion, for workers and communities. Don't be a hypocrite on day one. #StopRosebank

🔎 Topic of discussion: the radical dismantling of the EU rules on pesticides meant to safeguard the health of all citizens - and farmers are the first who get exposed. 🤯 So whose interests is Copa-Cogeca really defending here?!
🍸 As we speak they are hosting a joint event targeting MEPs, in the (doubtless air-conditioned) offices of Copa-Cogeca, followed by the usual cool drinks and networking.
📣 Op-ed today in EU Observer 🚜 While farmers suffer the heat, in Brussels Copa-Cogeca and Croplife (pesticide industry) lobbyists join forces to dismantle pesticide safety rules - against the interests of farmers. 👇 Read here: euobserver.com/227840/the-f...
The farming lobby is in bed with the pesticide industry – against the interests of farmers themselves
The lobbyists' goal is to convince MEPs to radically dismantle the existing EU rules on pesticide authorisation and use, rules meant to keep too toxic products off the market.

🚨The UK-US pharma deal with Trump will cost 229,000 lives in England. The deal is so bad that the editor of the British Medical Journal says it suggests "We’ll kill our poor people to make your rich companies richer”. Dear Andy Burnham, tear up this deal as Prime Minister. Thank you.
