How to change this debate. " Being outside the EU costs every UK household an average of £8,300 every year. But being inside again would only cost each UK household £38 every year. Do you still think we should stay out? "

If a candidate cannot talk about this in a Leave area, then that isn’t democracy. It’s Brexit authoritarianism. And no reputable media outlet should pander to that. If Burnham runs scared in Makerfield, is he fit to be PM? Is anyone fit if they can’t take on the Brexit shitshow?

'Get her out she has the right lefty look on her face.' These people are insane.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Rejoining the EU.. Which Streeting and Burnham have mentioned" Wil Self, "I think the public would be much happier if Streeting stood up and said we have a problem with governmental legitimacy, because of the way the vote on Europe is still perceived"

Jaw dropping. Imagine 11 years into a Boris Johnson prime minister reign in which the country is far worse off LK says we can't revisit that divisive result. Actually she's so biased and incompetent (and was so in awe of Boris) I genuinely could easily imagine that.

What? The vote to leave the EU was an act of pure self-harm. Now with the consequences of that decision becoming more and more apparent, it’s crystal clear that we should never have left, and that a referendum where the impact wasn’t clearly defined, was a terrible idea for such a complex issue.

Ugh, Laura. And all right wing media trying to insist again that Brexit is an unassailable policy decision that must hold despite the relentless damage, the changed geopolitical reality, the public ignorance… Just no. Will Self is right. The political dishonesty on this makes governing impossible.

If he doesn't want to rejoin and he doesn't want to introduce proportional representation, they might as well stick with Starmer.

open.substack.com/pub/uglypoli... Well said Keir Starmer 👏 When something is good we have to say!!! Otherwise what’s the point?

The UK is a joke

I assume churches are filled to the rafters this morning with all these new Christians.

If Burnham doesn't fight his by-election on returning to at least the Single Market, then even if he wins, he won't have beaten the Reform narrative. He'll just have pandered to it again and painted himself into a corner like Starmer has. After 10 years of Brexit, we want and demand more from Labour

More of this

Yet more Farage hasn't declared

The media in the UK are by and large, vile and disgusting. And they are getting worse by the week.

BH!! if this is true, there definitely wants to be an enquiry

Respect to #Irish broadcaster #RTE protesting against #Eurovision. 👏👏👏 No chance of the biased #BBC having the bollocks to stand up against the #Israeli genocide. Irish TV to air Father Ted instead of Eurovision final in protest against Israel’s inclusion www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

A quagmire in Iran, sky-high oil prices and shrinking support at home: when US President Donald Trump belatedly travels to China this week, his position has weakened. Still, he is hoping for any deal. Nervous Europeans are watching. www.euronews.com/2026/05/12/a...

Peter Mandleson Michael Gove George Osborne Wes Streeting Regardless of politics all these fall into the same category……… the something is not quite right here category 😬

Got the message yet? #Brexit cannot work! Time to #RejoinEU

Spain is emerging as one of Europe’s leading countries in the development of climate shelters, with researchers and urban planners increasingly viewing the network as a critical tool for reducing heat-related deaths during increasingly severe summers. euroweeklynews.com/2026/05/11/w...

Well said. Absolutely spot on. Watching the journos outside no10 today ( All paid fortunes) was sickening.

Whatever the views of the public are on Starmer is irrelevant. Whoever takes over, the right wing rags will do another assassination job on the next PM. They knew the Tories would be ineffective as an opposition, so they decided it was their job until they could get Reform to takeover.

Not sure there’s any point having elections any more. We should just ask crypto billionaire, Christopher Harborne, who he’s paid to be the next prime minister and drop the absurd notion that the voters get to decide anything.

Horrible, horrible man

The Brexit red lines drawn in 2024 are no longer relevant in today's world. Since then, we’ve seen war in mainland Europe, rising global instability, and pressure from Trump's tariffs. The conversation around Brexit has changed. The red lines should too. #RejoinEU

More questions for Farage. I wonder if they will be in the papers?

This is really abhorrent stuff White people as “the master race” white people had “larger brains” “Muslims are dirt”, allegedly wrote that “Muslims are awful, globally” & allegedly declared: “There cannot be a genocide against Muslims. It’s only ever self-defence against those rats.”

Now there's a smart idea; changing riders in the middle of the race is never a great idea. Still have half a parliament to deliver on their manifesto. Waste time on a leadership election only wastes valuable time delivering on their election promise, weakens the party & hands #Re(de)form a PR win.

Is it any surprise? Only a racist would stand for a racist party. Why would anybody who isn't a racist do so? Only a racist would vote for a racist party. What other reason could there be? Reform councillors being exposed as racists is a bit like exposing priests as paedophiles.

Wes Streeting is going to struggle to even win his own seat in #GE2029. He had a thin #GE2024 majority of 528 votes, against a new pro-Palestine independent. And considering there are not really any safe seats anymore (see alt text), airdropping him somewhere else might not a strategy these days.

Perrenial tweet. 😏

The absolute irony of Yvette Cooper and Shabana Mahmood calling time on Starmer! They have been a HUGE part of the problem! Yvette for proscribing P A and her hard line on immigration, Shabana Mahmood for being far worse.

A reminder that, when I re-post something without comment, I am simply passing it on, and not approving or disapproving of it. No comment = no comment.

Getting a massive Parliamentary majority on a third of the popular vote doesn’t produce stability, it also fails the legitimacy test. The electoral system is damaging our politics, it’s no longer fit for purpose.

As we approach the 10 year anniversary of The Great British IQ Test, let's remember who the big winners were.....Russia and super-wealthy people who don't like regulation to interfere with their greed

Drought fears in central/southern England, dry April leaves rivers low. 1trn+ litres of water a year lost to leaky pipes, 41.4trn litres since privatisation. Companies paid £85bn+ in dividends. Sewage in rivers. No national grid for water. Investment neglected. People fleeced. Nationalise water.

What a mess it all is. Labour needs to rediscover itself but the removal of Starmer plays into Reform’s hands. Where Labour goes next may be difference between a significant Reform majority at the next GE or a progressive coalition with hope. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There ARE some decent, real journalists out there but sadly almost none of them work for the #BBC. Well done to #Channel4 for airing it & congrats to the programme makers & journalists. We NEED honest, truthful news, not the #RightWing propaganda we usually get. That's why we need #MediaReform.

The party of #racists for racists. These bastards should be banned.

More lies from #Labour. The govt have done NOTHING to curb the rise of the #FarRight, they've even emulated them. 🤬 #Liebour #Starmer

This is the end result of Shabana Mahmood’s nasty immigration policies… more votes for Reform and so, more racism scaring and dividing our communities. Not sure how Labour can justify this, politically or morally. It’s so far from what we’d all hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What wonderful news to begin my Monday. I’m thrilled for JK Rowling. Let us pray for the personal hardship she must be experiencing in this moment 😂

Voters say Labour failing on housing as a third struggle to pay rent, mortgage. It's neoliberalism. Low wages make buying home difficult. Lack of social housing - Tories sold it. UK not self-sufficient in building materials. Unchecked profiteering. Must jettison neoliberalism. archive.ph/3oht4
