It’s crazy the UK has not yet rejoined the EU's roaming area. Another example of us being left behind

Britain is missing out on up to £100m for every week that a landmark deal with the European Union is not in place, according to new research that has prompted calls for Keir Starmer to urgently break the Brexit economic “doom loop” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Farage’s politics did not sit outside this system. His Brexit was at its centre. Farage’s partner built the Brussels foundation; Farage brokered the partnership with Bannon; and Epstein advised on the money, the law, the logistics and the strategy that allowed that project to grow.”

Day 1409 of the all out war on Ukraine by Russia, which pledged to take Kyiv in 3 days. Putin still balances economic collapse with military strength, hoping the latter brings rewards before the former ends his despotic regime Here's Friday's daily🧵with all the important Ukraine news, all the time

Nigel Farage opened 2026 by doing what he does best: Claiming to be the solution to problems HE made WORSE! We're getting poorer ⬅️ His Brexit. Crime is rising ⬅️ Brexit poverty Prices rising ⬅️ Brexit National pride falling ⬅️ Brexit humiliated us!

Damn right!

Call it “mutual” and suddenly people get it.

So we have entered a 5th different year of all out Russian war in Europe. It's Day 1408 and no let up from Putin's band of war criminals, as the new day and New Year began. Still not a single day off. Let's get up to date..

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Please remember this in 2026 when Nigel Farage tells you we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Supporters of fox/trail hunting often claim that the ban is an attack on the countryside supported only by people in cities, but polling also shows this to be completely untrue.

Our most read article of January 2025, still as relevant now as then? It is time to end the special relationship with Trump Donald Trump in the White House: a relationship with a dishonest sexual predator and convicted criminal isn't a relationship. It's abuse @chasmanthium.bsky.social

Hello again on Day 1407, but more significantly, New Year's Eve. Tomorrow will be the 13th year in which Ukraine has experienced war since regaining its independence from Moscow 34 years ago. The final thread of 2025 begins here with a plea to ensure we don't reward terrorism.

Dot-to-dot for the UK: Prejudice and lies brought us Brexit. Brexit rocket-boosted racism. Racism empowers Farage. Failing to join these dots and hold the traitorous shit to account is ruining us. In every sense of the word. Let’s do better in 2026. (Independent newsletter)

Nigel Farage has 41 mentions in the Epstein Files and counting

It's been over a month and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files and are overly redacting what they do release because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try to impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/chlorine...

This is how you do it folks

Great exclusive here. Trump’s open arms for Russian puppets.

Britain should join forces with Europe in a new defence pact because it can no longer trust Donald Trump’s America to defend it in the event of a military attack by Russia, voters believe www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The Tories’ Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson, is representing Roman Abramovich in a legal case that is delaying the transfer of £2.5bn of assets to benefit the people of Ukraine. Justice Minister Jake Richards has written to Kemi Badenoch about the conflicts of interest this raises

ah-ha... Piers...

Two more civilian ships have been hit by Russia in Odesa region. The terrorists hit Pivdenny and Chornomorsk ports as the "Emmakris III" + "Captain Karam" entered the port to load wheat. There have been injuries.

One Russian independent media outlet spoke with 14 residents in Valdai, where supposedly almost 100 drones tried to attack Putin's palace. None heard anything, nor had any text alerts about drone danger. #RussiaLies

Pakistan is still desperate to curry favour with terrorists in Moscow. The country's PM Shehbaz Sharif condemns "the reported targeting" of Putin's residence, but fails to mention myriad subsequent stories proving beyond reasonable doubt it was a fake story made up by Moscow

Kemi Badenoch is under pressure to act on the revelations that her shadow attorney general is representing the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, despite UK sanctions against him www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

'Trump may help end the war on our terms.' There is no doubting where Trump's support lies. His name and actions should evermore be reviled.

UK manufacturers are to be hit with mountains of Brexit-style paperwork in January on £7bn worth of exports to the EU after the government failed to secure an expected exemption from new green taxes www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The irony here being this has nothing to do with Ukraine. The Oreshnik missiles are too close to hit Kyiv - there is a minimum flight time/distance needed. They can however hit anywhere in Europe. bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Imagine if the US gave Tomahawks, Germany gave Taurus and we all really helped Ukraine to the max! As it is another 1,220 invaders won't be invading again. Ukraine makes all the free world safer. #BackUkraineToWin

It's incredible how Russia has managed to hoodwink the White House, and much of the world into believing Putin is winning the war. The only thing Russia is truly winning in is war crimes, of which there were a few more yesterday. Catch up here: bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Day 1406 of Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. As we approach the end of another year of my daily threads, I was to point out to Trump that his beloved Putin controls under 1% more of Ukraine than he did a year ago, and LESS than in early Nov 2022. Let's go again:

Why is it consistently white fascists that commit these crimes?

🚨 This 👇 confirms it. The US is using the collapsed tech/AI deal to force Britain to accept chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef. Food standards are the leverage point and the red line. You can’t align with US tech power and stay aligned with Europe. www.farminguk.com/news/chlorin...
