This couldn't be clearer - if there were an EU referendum now, how would you vote? 'The people' overwhelmingly want to #RejoinEU So, #Starmer , how about it? Boost the economy Boost your polling

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism? Odd that.

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper

“Like all recent occupants of No 11, Rachel Reeves is struggling to inject growth into a moribund economy. In a break with predecessors, she has belatedly pointed the finger at Brexit and was right to do so.”

Brexit has increased costs, increased red tape, and slowed employment growth in the music industry. People from across the industry have been affected, from artists and crew unable to tour, to musicians and DJs who are losing out on bookings.

Think of Brexit as a vote to eat all future meals at a new restaurant. We've now been there. We've tried everything on the menu. We know the food is horrible. Imagine holding a referendum on whether to keep eating its terrible food. That's a very different starting point from the last one in 2016.

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit. Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-4.

Last and only gasp of honesty before it becomes a larger version of the no facts, no truths Daily Mail.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

The Russian involvement in Brexit needs to be fully exposed to the public. An act of treason, pushed by Farage & many far right Tories, enabled by Cameron, Johnson & Gove.

TRUMP complains that the BBC has done him ‘reputational harm’. He’s worried about his reputation!

‘I once planned to sue the bbc for suggesting I encouraged an insurrection the time I encouraged an insurrection on live tv’

⬇️⬇️

There’s isn’t one independent thinking, sentient being in the UK who doesn’t believe Trump encouraged Jan 6th. To suggest otherwise is a complete denial of the truth.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

So long as Labour hold firm on Brexit, all their bleating about having been dealt an atrocious hand by the Tories is so much hot air. Support for "Make Brexit Works" holes that argument below the waterline. It is ludicrous to be contemplating tax rises, but not trying to undo Brexit.

What an incredible act of self harm Brexit was. New Brexit economic impact report. It’s even worse than was predicted A 6-8% reduction in GDP Investment reduced 12-18% Employment and productivity down 3-4%

In case you've ever wanted to working on improving your sightreading at the piano, here's a video I made a few years ago with my favorite tips. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huvi...

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Life was better with EU Attitudes poll also suggests people increasingly believe UK is divided, that ‘culture wars’ exist and life was better in past

Labour: "We couldn't possibly begin negotiating with the EU to eventually rejoin. That would make the next GE all about Brexit." Reality: "Yes, and so what? At the moment everything is about immigration, and you are LOSING very VERY badly indeed."

Rachel Reeves says we have a £25 billion black hole Rachel Reeves knows Brexit makes us £40 billion poorer Rejoining the EU would give us a £15 billion surplus Why doesn't Labour want what's best for the UK? Tax rises? That'll be Brexit

Hannan and Frost in the Telegraph. Sunak in the Times. Kwasi Kwarteng in the iPaper. Johnson in the Mail. Gove editing the Spectator. Farage everywhere. All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made. Nauseating.

Gotta love Private Eye. Always cuts through the crap.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

If ANYTHING happens to Rachel Reeves over this letting agent stuff, then I will call for the entire scrapping of the ministerial code & the independent advisor. The Tories essentially didn't abide by anything and I no longer care about requiring Labour prove to be more above board than others. 1/3

This will blow the minds of Reform UK voters.

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners." In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures. Maybe Beth is on a diet.

In 2020, Parliament’s Russia Report warned of “credible evidence” of Kremlin interference. Boris Johnson’s govt refused to investigate. That’s what this case challenges: a government that looked away from attacks on its own democracy. #RussiaReport

Sorry @theipaper.com but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice… Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss. He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.

Left: Labour's Rosie Wrighting, "I voted to remain, I respect the decision of the vote.. Shouldn't reverse Brexit as its a decision made by the public" Right: The public have recognised Brexit was a mistake, so why is Labour living in the past?

It's time for Starmer to abandon the race to keep up with the economy-sapping immigration policies of the man who brought us Brexit in the first place. Until he takes that step, the “severe and long-lasting” impact of leaving the EU, identified by Reeves today, will only keep getting worse.
