'It would anchor us in a group of countries who all face the same problems.' Environmentalist and former MEP ＠StanleyPJohnson tells ＠RachelSJohnson the UK needs to rejoin 'at the very least the European Environment Agency'.
'Ardent' Labour voter 'appalled' by Keir Starmer reneging on the environment
Mr Johnson told Rachel "at the moment" most of the environmental protections we had whilst in the European Union have been retained but they are "hanging on by a thread". "Unfortunately, the government has taken powers via the REUL bill to change them," he said, "they are by no means safe". He went on: "We need to come out fighting and what we all need to be saying is the UK needs to rejoin - at the very least - the European Environment Agency.""And what would that achieve, if we rejoined?" Rachel asked.
"It would anchor us in a group of countries who all face the same problems. And on trade, it would be absolutely vital too."
