5. George Monbiot considers the mismatch, between economic growth and environmental sustainability, on a global scale. At an individual level, we all need to forget what everyone else might be doing, and tailor our activities and consumption to much reduced totals. This has to mean a much more simplified lifestyle: being happy with our personal relationships, reducing most forms of competition, and devoting our time to caring for other members of society.

12. We care about the rights of EU nationals to live and work in the UK because they are our friends. The idea that so many people so dear to us could have their lives plunged into chaos as a result of a botched negotiation derived from a referendum they couldn't vote in is intolerable, which is why we vehemently oppose any Brixit deal that fundamentally threatens individual rights.
