Can we zoom in on that phrase:
“When we work together”?
And then consider the “working together” of Europe that you have undermined since 2016.
Brexit sets back our capacity to work together on protecting the planet. You even *want* to disalign from environmental standards.

Note to some people (given comments):
I did not say “removes” our capacity - we can of course still work with EU27 - I said “sets back” because: 1) Brexit has an opportunity cost of time, energy & finances 2) undermining environmental protections is the wrong direction.
