This seems like pivotal moment for Labour, a chance to change direction and win back lost voters. Labour is stuck with Starmer in charge, he's set his stall out in favour of brexit, more state control, less freedom and cosying up to dodgy regimes like the US and Israel. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brexiters. Your worries about a European federal super-state trampling on the rights of individual states is happening now in the US. Where's your criticism of the Trumpers?

Having failed to un-cancel HS2 to Manchester, the govt announces HS* from Birmingham to Manchester, but only to be done after loads of other stuff that hasn't even been agreed yet. This is nonsense. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ball. His court.

The great cake hunt continues....

Ratcliffe avoids £billions in tax by moving to Monaco and then Ineos gets a government subsidy to keep operating 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I see Starmer has even manage to fuck up the Russia Report Enquiry by specifically excluding Brexit. He really doesn't miss an opportunity to tell pro-EU voters to f**k off, does he?

Thatchersim — still the basis of so much of our economy — worked by making us buy things we already owned, using money we borrowed from our grandkids, and then cancelling the maintenance and calling it "savings". And now everything is broken.

The UK economy seems to be all about ripping off ordinary people while the authorities shrug their shoulders. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests. Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Congrats brexiters. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Got the ripe chillies off before the frosts start. Smoking these with hickory and then making chilli powder once they're fully dry.

1. Food banks strive to offer a balanced, nutritious diet. The castoffs from your pantry are always welcome, but there will be gaps—and cash can fill them.

Farage is not popular, there is a sizeable anti-Reform vote out there and those people *really* don't like Reform and will vote accordingly. I mean come on bbc and others perhaps actually do your job and consider this possibility, eh?

It's good to see our 2 party system collapsing under the weight of stupidity of the 2 parties. 'Not the tories' and 'don't vote Labour and you're basically voting tory' now seems finished, so Labour is going to have to win our votes with positive policies and stop being brexity xenophobes.

Brexiters in denial about brexit. It's not the way we left, it's the fact that we left that has damaged the economy. The way we left determined the degree of damage and Labour policy of no SM or no CU guarantees that we keep the most damaging version. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

A stupid decision to call Palestine Action a terrorist group leads to protests and mass arrests, wasting police time and clogging up the courts. The answer: don't rethink the stupid law, clamp down on the right to protest instead. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

But he also embraces the basic Brexit paradigm that leaves the Exchequer £40bn a year worse off from being outside the single market and a customs union. £40bn a year that could have been spent on public services and help heal division. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social please mention brexit under related topics on your web site. You are allowed to do journalism, so how about a bit of analysis as to why the UK is suffering from poor growth and persistent inflation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rachel Reeves, the 'brains' behind Labour's economic policy fails to mention brexit as a contributory factor towards the UK's poor economic performance that means she'll be raising taxes again shortly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What a waste of time and money. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

The footnote has Piers Morgan predictably sucking Trump's dick. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The lack of good investigative proving journalism in the UK is shocking. the UK has not fully reciprocated its Brexit border with the EU since 1/1/21 as it'd be too much (Mogg's words) "self harm". It's also dropped enforcement of UKCA for same reason.

Why is more not made of the fact that UK chose to give up **85%** of its (wholly reciprocal trading barriers free) *internal* market when it left the EU? Its internal market is now smaller that UK itself for GB goods sales.. & it is **never** going to offset this 85% loss elsewhere

IPSOS Trade Panel survey is asking businesses about time taken and cost of brexit customs paperwork. It's interesting that the govt seems to want to know what brexit is costing, while telling us all that it's a spiffing idea.

@mr1000cr.bsky.social hello 👋. I followed you on Xhitter. It’s quiet here but if you seek out @thealso.bsky.social account, look at his followers and give them a follow and you should get some traffic in your feed. He’s got a list too. I jump between to. I just don’t post on X. It’s not as noisy

If Labour or the tories change tack on the EU and immigration, that really does undermine reform's chances of election at the next GE. As it is, both Labour and the tories have lost votes on both sides, but the pro-brexit / anti-immigration voters aren't coming back. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The SS Brexit is sinking, but the Captain and First Officer haven't noticed yet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

I had a consultation about this from my District Council a couple of weeks ago. Here in Lincolnshire, there are a few options on the table, all of which are shit. How are they planning on having an accessible, local presence and not centring all power / facilities / spend on the larger urban areas?

I still can't get over how stupid UK was to vote to leave the EU .. To actually choose to make yourselves poorer, with fewer rights & freedoms, less choice for more cost, to see UK breaking apart, descending into ugly English nationalism behind a (still descending) Gammon Curtain

The cooling towers at Cottam power station came down today. It was a big part of our local skyline along with West Burton, it looks a bit strange without them.

This. The basis of electoral calculation as an excuse for intellectual cowardice.

Economic sanctions do work, even if self inflicted. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

To talk about trade in Britain without mentioning the EU is a bit like trying to explain the solar system without mentioning the sun. (A chart from the forthcoming piece of work...)

Higher borders between countries restrict movement & trade (prosperity) across them. UK wanted them & got them resurrected against the EU27..without removing borders elsewhere. Why would anybody expect anything else other than economic contraction? Forget data, just use logic for fuck's sake

EXCLUSIVE: Neil Kinnock slams Labour’s strategy on Reform as “100% wrong” and “mortally stupid” in a new Prospect interview with @arusbridger.bsky.social. “Appeasers get eaten,” he says. www.prospectmagazine...

It's a long time since I saw one of these. It's on French 75 plates (Paris) and looks like it'll need some work. No price in the window but online at £5,150.

Stansted Airport parking question. I'm dropping my father off tomorrow, 88 years old and needs accompanying into the terminal. Web searches show mid-stay plus bus is available for 1 hour free, but on the airport web site there is a £45 minimum charge. Does this free hour actually exist?

What a nasty, sordid nest of vipers to have festering within the party! Labour could do themselves a huge favour and bin Blue Labour. It would be a very strong signal that they're walking away from their Reform cosplaying days. If instead they listen, well... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We are awash with articles about “why we need to understand white nationalists more” but my view is that nationalism is rising because it’s more acceptable and indulged more - in person, in the media, everywhere And the world was a better place when we told these people to shut it
