When are we going to have a special on: • The rise of the far-right • The state of the NHS • The severe lack of trans+ healthcare • The constantly hiking rent • The 1% who own half this country's wealth • Stagnant wages for the working class • The state of council homes • The housing crisis ...

Starmer needs to find the courage to follow his arguments about the failures and costs of Brexit to their logical conclusion. His recent foreign policy speech fell short by continuing to gloss over hard truths, and pretend Britain can keep muddling through.

🔴‘Keir Starmer’s Brexit Blind Spot Leaves Britain With a Major Missed Opportunity’ It was striking that the most impressive recent speech on Britain’s future in Europe came not from our current Prime Minister, but from one of his Conservative predecessors, argues @alexhh.bsky.social

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

Fortunately David Lammy you have the chance to vote for a customs union by backing our bill next week. See you in the Aye lobby?

Out of interest, did Farage ever answer these questions?

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

People unwilling to face the truth about Labour's reluctance to tackle Brexit often hide behind "the RW press will crucify them". News flash: that's already happening! Right now, there are 51 negative stories about Labour on the front pages of the Daily Mail, Express, Times and Telegraph websites.

Zia Yusuf insults this man by saying he is not listening, and gets booed massively. Then Yusuf describes exactly the situation the man suggests, where as soon as you retire you are deported. #bbcqt

Is that £9million… Russian money?

Making formula affordable is good policy. Everyone should be able to feed their baby and every baby deserves to be fed. It's horrendously expensive and I believe it's become one of the most shoplifted items. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

GB News’ recent Trump interview was outrageous - completely biased and full of lies. And GB News didn't challenge him ONCE. Ofcom MUST investigate them for breaching its rules. Sign now if you agree. 38d.gs/trump_gbnews...

We estimate that by the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been without Brexit, based on macro data, and 6% smaller using firm-level micro data” www.euronews.com/business/202...

U.K. sanctions Russia’s GRU intelligence agency over a 2018 nerve agent attack that Britain says was ordered by Putin.

Brexit means we are losing out on some of the biggest talent in the world, and some of the UK's biggest talent are emigrating to Europe. We must restore freedom of movement.

Because of Brexit, the exchequer “will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year” Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Rachel Reeves could have raised spending on health, defence, infrastructure, etc and still had money to spare… yorkshirebylines.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Although Starmer is now more critical of Brexit, he is still couching it in terms of it being implemented badly, rather than inherently unworkable. This is a gift to Reform, and makes it clear that Labour's Brexit position, if it's shifting at all, is doing so with the speed of continental drift.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit yorkshirebylines.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Why is the Prime Minister ignoring his own Chief Economic Advisor, who recommended a Customs Union with the EU to boost growth? Instead he's choosing to hike taxes in a cost of living crisis.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

"Assuming no change in the rate of taxation, and all other things being equal, the exchequer will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year. Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Reeves could have chosen to halve the 20% rate of VAT with money to spare."

Jonathan Gullis swears he would never join Reform in resurfaced clip

2025: Keir Starmer, "The Brexit vote was a fair democratic expression" 2020: Stewart Hosie, "The UK gov actively avoided looking for evidence that Russia interfered in Brexit" - UK's Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament Keir Starmer now telling lies like Boris Johnson, sad

Starmer: “Brexit vote was a fair, democratic expression, and I .. respect that .. But how it was sold and delivered was simply wrong. Wild promises were made” If the result was obtained by misselling, then it was not an informed decision and hence not democratic. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

What is so infuriating, is that Starmer points out the bleeding obvious, yet included in its manifesto, red lines, without which would have meant that Labour could have done something to begin to redress the failure of #Brexit, instead of tinkering around the edges with 'closer links'. Pathetic!

Pretty striking to see these two pieces, side-by-side, in the Telegraph and Times last week. ~AA #BrexitDisaster

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Around 26,000 of the neediest people in County Durham will have to start paying council tax next year... About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate. Women and the disabled will be disproportionately affected. Not quite what Reform UK had promised.

This is Alexander Lebedev, former KGB officer, the close friend of Boris Johnson, father of Lord Lebedev, running a conference in Crimea in 2017 with Sergey Aksyonov - the mafia leader known as the ‘Goblin’ who Putin installed as leader after the invasion

Even the thickest amongst you must begin to question why he is always defending this vile dictator and war criminal...

October 2019, around the time Nathan Gill was taking Russian bribes, Nigel Farage and the Brexit party voted against an EU resolution to stop Russian election meddling The Party said claims of interference were 'baseless propaganda and scare stories. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Byline Times can reveal that Farage’s benefactor is a pro-Trump political lobbyist embedded in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 ecosystem – the US conservative plan to dismantle climate policy, rights for women and ethnic minorities, and democratic safeguards” bylinetimes.com/2025/11/24/n...

Just one bad apple in Gill they said. Absolutely nothing to see here. Move on. I’m sure all the flag waving patriots will be rushing to gather & protest outside Deform HQ any minute now. Any minute. Really. Starmer still won’t order an investigation. He'd rather FagAsh marked his own homework.

Thank GOD for Andrew Fisher!! FINALLY we get to hear about Spain on #r4today The fastest growing economy in Europe & outstripping the US as well & how? Wealth tax, rent controls & a positive integration-focused approach to immigration & asylum!! 🙌👏👏👏

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult." Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

Also: where’s the fecking investigation, Keir Starmer? The Welsh parliament, Nigel Farage, @prifweinidog.gov.wales @eddavey.libdems.org.uk & @zackpolanski.bsky.social are all now in agreement that we need a govt-led inquiry into Russian interference. So what on earth is the problem??

I say this mostly because Reform and certain journalists friendly to them seem determined to start a “white flight” narrative since net migration has dropped so dramatically. It’s not true. It’s not even close to true.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Gibb said he never interfered editorially in the Jewish Chronicle Hmm - seems like accuracy is not one of his strong points And isn’t there some kind of sanction for misleading parliament?

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?

If you think you can trust Farage to run the country, just listen to him lie about Brexit and the "Norway Option". #Reform4Russia 🔷️🇷🇺

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.
