Brexit was an act of “sabotage” that has made Britain up to £30bn a year worse off, former foreign secretary David Miliband has claimed. He said the loss of income caused by leaving the EU is equivalent to imposing “a punishing tax every day” on the UK. #RejoinEU #BrexitDisaster

🧑‍🌾 @timmiller.bsky.social: “Trump has no message for farmers. You’d think they would’ve come up with something better than ‘I did $28 Billion of farmer socialism years ago’ — congrats, you gave them our money. What’s the plan? Are you just gonna do that again?”

It’s worth mentioning that President Obama never ran away in the middle of an interview, his mental fitness was never questioned and most importantly he isn’t a felon.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

Trump walked off a TV interview, skipped D-Day to post AI videos of himself, and is pretending an unraveling war in Iran doesn't exist. Nobody around him will say a word. I have a theory about why — and it has to do with rumble strips. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Such blatant racism blocking a FIFA appointed Referee because he is African. If FIFA doesn't threaten to disqualify the USA it is racist too.

it is darkly funny that his son got married and he was like "ohhhhh uhhhh something popped up, you know, the war, I gotta do work on the war that night, unfortunately I just can't go" and then 2 weeks later, same war still going on, he's shutting down midtown Manhattan to watch the Knicks

Initial poll women 53-32 (+21 Labour) v men 33-48 Reform (+15 Reform). Labour may have narrowed gap among men by 1.6 The 2nd poll ended on June 1st, with a fortnight to go + before a Question Time episode that had a broad local audience, which could reinforce/shift opinions in different directions

In Survation's 2nd Makerfield poll, Labour (49-39) was +10 due to a decisive lead with women; + a too close to call lead with men. Women: Labour +13 Labour 42% Reform 29% Restore 7% (n = 248) Men: Labour + 2 Labour 37% Reform 35% Restore 6% (n= 233) (26th May - 1st June)

Rob Kenyon fact checked: "Wigan is probably one of the highest concentrations of HMOs in the country." Well, Robert Kenyon, it isn't anywhere close to that. There are 900 HMOs out of 146,000 total dwellings. That's 0.6% of Wigan's housing stock.

Anyway, for the Tories, the message seems to be - your guys are still out there and they do really want to stop Reform too…

Oh and perhaps the most surprising but I encountered at least two Conservatives who were enraged their party was not putting up more of a fight. And one canvasser told me a habitual Tory voter had actually got tearful with them because they were resigned to voting for Burnham to stop Reform.

(I prefer going out door knocking with canvassers as I think it gives you a better sense than randomly stopping people in the street - in my experience this tends to bias towards the sort of person who likes to stop to talk in the street and most people don’t like to do this)

- On the doors I went to, there was no one with a good word to say about Keir Starmer (though many found it hard to articulate exactly why) - but also a hesitation from a lot of voters about Farage. Often it felt like Lowe had stolen the anti establishment credentials of Farage.

There were a solid group of about 16% undecideds but this morning organisers were saying that had narrowed a lot since Question Times (a lot of voters had watched it which surprised me!) The aim for the next two weeks is to get Burnham physically in front of as many undecideds, at their front door.

But the Labour campaign is quite extraordinary, there were at least 20 MPs there this morning from all wings of the party. Around 450 canvassers this weekend. All the doors have been knocked four times - and there is a bit of concern about annoying residents too much. But it means the data is good.

- There is a very strong gender difference with woman seeming to be (from my limited experience) more willing to give Burnham a chance than men. - Having said all that, Reform have a huge presence everywhere, there are boards across most of the major roads, it certainly gives a sense of dominance

- almost all of them are emphasising that it’s the “last chance” for Labour - The Restore vote is real, there are huge numbers of boards, though interestingly three potential Restore voters suggested they believed Lowe was “less extreme” than Farage

Spent the day in parts of Ashton and Orrell where Labour canvassers are targeting the 16% of undecided voters in Makerfield by-election. A few observations (from a single day) I found surprising - A lot of people who voted Reform just weeks ago say they are prepared to vote for Burnham

Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA. The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications. This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.

That was quite the tantrum by Trump on Meet the Press. Welker gave him a chance to provide some evidence for his stolen election claims, and instead he threw a massive fit and called the interview.

Trump hasn't posted on Truth Social in over 24 hours. He must be fuming over Kristen Welker.
