On the anniversary of the UK leaving the EU, it is worth hearing once again the many benefits of Brexit, clearly articulated by those who voted for it.

We do, regretfully, have to give her this.

Vote Green... Get Reform. It really is that simple.

Paging @iaindale.bsky.social x

The problem with the BBC is they ignore reporting this, and instead relish dragging Labour through the dirt. The British public deserves better.

. Farage's reform - nothing more than a bunch of tory con-artists! #r4today #bbcbreakfast #GMB #politicslive #C4News #toriesgone571 .

Good. It is a fight worth picking & will briefly distract them from fighting with each other.

Farage will probably lead his Conservative party to the next general election.

Reform, the care home for failed tories. 🤦‍♂️ BBC News - Suella Braverman accuses Tories of betrayal as she defects to Reform UK - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

Why does Laura Kuenssberg start her show going through the papers headlines, with the premise this is what people are talking about. It's not. It's what elite media barons, most of whom don't live here, think we should be talking about. It's lazy journalism, and favours the will of the wealthiest.

She put more effort into the ego-inflating intro credits and making sure she chose the right colour pant suit than she ever does speaking truth to power. Garbage example of a journalist and a horrid little tory sycophant to boot.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

These veterans posts are so gut-punchingly powerful. Do you think UK veterans will ever forgive or forget what Trump said?

Outrage at Trump’s swipe at the sacrifice from NATO allies in Afghanistan | CNN share.google/khKVVo9VWEmv...

Armed forces minister Al Carns says comments about NATO troops not serving in Afghanistan are ‘utterly ridiculous’ ‘I served tours... many alongside my American colleagues, we shed blood sweat and tears together’

UK PM Keir Starmer reacts to Cadet Bone Spurs claiming that allied troops stayed back behind the front lines in Afghanistan to avoid combat: “457 of our armed services lost their lives, many more were injured. So I consider Trump’s remarks to be insulting and apalling.”

Today’s show provided a platform for military personnel & their families to respond to Donald Trump’s shameful comments about NATO forces in Afghanistan. (There is some tumbleweed where Nigel Farage’s condemnation should have been.) tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Keir Starmer calls Trump remarks about Nato troops in Afghanistan 'insulting and frankly appalling' - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

'It's not even disgraceful, or appalling - it's beyond that.' Caller Jeff, whose son took his life while on duty, weeps as he gives @mrjamesob.bsky.social his response to Trump's Afghanistan frontline insult.

Donald Trump insults UK armed forces who served and sacrificed so much on the front line in Afghanistan. Isn't it time Farage admitted his admiration and support for Trump was misplaced?

12:30 and Farage is the only major party leader not yet to comment (or criticise) Trump over his attack on UK's role in Afghanistan

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

This highlights the absolute mountain Labour has to climb. After a record week with great figures on borrowing, and Keir Starmer's successes in global diplomacy, the Telegraph leads with 3 headlines attacking Labour.

There was very good news for the UK Chancellor today as the latest government spending figures shows that December borrowing was £11.6bn, down 38% from a year earlier. The drop was due to higher tax recipts and even saw publicing spending increase on a year earlier. 1/2

The world’s wrongest man, Daniel Hannan, contending that Trump’s utter unfitness for office only emerged *yesterday*… Because it’s the only way the irredeemable idiot can cling on to the delusion that he’s not an irredeemable idiot.

The UK Foreign Secretary has this evening made a statement on Arctic Security and Greenland. It was specifically prompted by the further actions of the US President over the weekend, who threatend 10% trade tariffs on countries supporting Greenland. This included on Denmark, Finland, France... 1/7
