This is excellent and, although @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is too gracious to say it in terms, a real 'I told you so'.

Unless this “honesty” involves the recognition that immigrants are *not* the root cause of the UK’s problems *but* actually a part of the solution to them, this will be completely pointless. I cannot stress this enough. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

👏 "As this vital new research shows, deeper integration with our European neighbours offers an opportunity to deliver the crucial growth, investment and jobs that my constituents across Bolton, and those throughout the economic powerhouse of the North West, will feel."

Farage's defence hinges on separating his roles as an influencer and a politician. By categorising pre-election favours from George Cottrell as commercial media support, he seeks to bypass strict rules. This standards probe crucially tests where personal branding ends and political funding begins.🍿

The Sunday Times investigation exposes a murky financial trail behind Reform UK. Channelling £1m through an obscure overseas crypto platform just days after the snap election call raises serious transparency questions. If the NCA cannot trace the source, who is actually funding this movement?

And here are the final Brexitometer results from today at the Penrith Agricultural Show- people want us to be back in the heart of Europe! #GetBrexitUndone #RejoinEU

We're half-way through the day here at the Penrith Agricultural Show and the Brexitometer is filling up nicely. Could a trend be appearing in the results so far? Zoom in to find out! 🔎📲

It's a glorious day here at the Penrith Agricultural Show where we've joined our friends from Cumbria. Our latest Brexitometer is ready to go & we've got prizes to give away too! If you're at the show come & say hello! #RejoinEU @europeanmovement.co.uk

Crypto-billionaires, a crook, tax dodgers, a sex-offending hedge fund trader, the fossil fuel industry, climate change deniers, fiddling his MEP expenses and, from next year, his £73,000 EU pension...just some of the sources of Nigel Farage's money. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/07/09/s...

As Andy Burnham becomes Labour leader, he should heed James Coldwell's words on rejoining the EU: “I would challenge anyone here, as I do whenever I talk to people about this, to find any other policy lever the UK government could pull that can deliver anything close to that level of growth.”

Amongst many important points in @jdportes.bsky.social article is the succinct explanation of why universities are vital to a coherent economic strategy.

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs

We cant disagree with this. SO, Let us get on with it - #BrexitBrokeBritain #RejoinEU

Finally 👏 "At midnight on Wednesday, the fence was officially removed, with hundreds of people turning up to celebrate the historic moment between the southern tip of Spain and the British territory." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/gibraltar-spain-border-wall-airport-b3015101.html

"Did anyone hear of any street parties to mark the 10th anniversary of #Brexit?" Today's @teessidelive.bsky.social letter lays out the local reality: 📉 Firms face daily red tape 👛 Families take a £6k hit 📊 55% support rejoining Time for a new PM to drop the pretence. 🇪🇺👇 #Teesside #RejoinEU

👏Trade minister Chris Bryant on CNBC: "I think our historic destiny is to be back in the European Union"

🚨 "If we had stayed in the EU, the Treasury would have had an extra £90 billion per year to spend on welfare, defence, education etc. without creating new taxes or raising tax rates. No nation in living memory has acted so foolishly in peacetime."

Letting a secretive offshore crypto giant like Tether buy back-door influence in British politics through multi-million-pound donor operations is a massive danger. We must stop allowing politicians to flog our regulatory system to shadowy digital asset firms looking for personal favours. 🛑📉👇

👏 Good to see Best for Britain's work headlining in The Yorkshire Post on Saturday. 🚨 Membership of the EU will provide substantial growth and opportunities to every region across the UK. 📈 Want growth? Want opportunity? Go for membership.

Reform has threatened to “investigate” Phillip Rycroft, the man behind the government’s review of foreign financial interference in British politics. Now why would Farage want to do that… 🤔🤔🤔

"But giving up the right to self-government is Reform’s headline policy. Farage has sold his party to foreign despots and their financiers. For a man who relentlessly flogs his nationalist credentials, Farage seems to deeply dislike modern Britain" Moscow - Budapest - Mar-a-Lago - Dubai - Clacton?

The numbers don't lie about #Brexit - says Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social in today's @yorkshirepost.co.uk: It's hit the #UKEconomy badly. 👊 Stanford puts the cost at 6-8% of GDP: "Facts like that leave little room for debate." 📉 "A bright European future" can still be built, though. #RejoinEU 🇪🇺

Ten years on from the Brexit referendum, and the promises, predictions, and projections made by the Leave campaign can be accounted for and evaluated. The EU was - wrongly - blamed for many of our domestic problems. Have some myths stood the test of time? Find out here ⬇️

BREAKING: Police are investigating more than £500,000 in donations made to Reform UK amid allegations that the true source of the money may have been concealed. The investigation concerns two £250,000 donations made by Fiona Cottrell mother of convicted fraudster & Farage associate George Cottrell

The youth understands Brexit puts their nation, and them at a disadvantage to their 450 million EU neighbours.

So refreshing to hear a politician actually answer the questions

Nick Clegg: Brexit was a ‘punch in the face’ for Britain The former deputy prime minister compared Brexit to a ‘massive cardiac arrest’ – and warned Britain now needs Europe more than ever www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"A deeper and more structured UK–EU defence partnership is not simply an advantage. It is vital for a safer Europe and a more secure United Kingdom." Against a backdrop of Russian aggression, and US disengagement (or worse), Europe must unite! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/stronger-uk-...

Quite a significant Brexit moment happening, with the removal of Spain-Gibraltar border posts in preparation for the UK-EU agreement being signed & implemented next week. Effectively, this marks the end of the process triggered by invoking Article 50 in 2017: etias.com/articles/spa... 1/3

We need to #RejoinEU for our safety and security!

👏 David Lammy MP: "I hear it's the people versus the establishment." "The City trader, Putin admiring professional politician whose pal's with crypto billionaires versus Count Binface."

The Guardian's fact-check reveals multiple falsehoods in Farage’s resignation video, from misrepresenting crime stats to exaggerating threats against his family. 📊🔍👇

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Beneath all the victimhood & self-indulgence, the deadly serious intent is to try to make future media and parliamentary scutiny of him seem illegitimate, using one part of the democratic process, voting, to subvert other parts of it. Despicable & dangerous, but not without risk for Farage himself.

Farage should easily win a by-election in Clacton, which he already won with a large majority in 2024 when polls were much less favourable for Reform than they are now. A complete waste of public money, designed solely to serve himself

Farage resigns his seat in Clacton forcing a by election which he ... er plans to stand in. Huge performative cost to the taxpayers to feather his ego. I hope it backfires spectacularly

Winning a party leadership contest is one thing. Winning over the country afterwards is quite another. Dr Ben Worthy on why Britain's takeover Prime Ministers often struggle.

Things are starting to look very dark for Farage. He's stuck in a ferocious scandal where he cannot get his story straight and his excuses raise more questions than they answer inews.co.uk/opinion/nige...

At its core the EU is a permanent negotiation between members therefore its relations with neighbours must also be. Not sure why UK politics struggles so much to understand this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can't imagine why #FiveHomesFarage is in the headlines again...

This kind of whining - from France - is so very Brexit. Until we take responsibility for the inevitable consequences of our own stupid choices, we will stay stuck in a sulky dead-end calling other people names. Boris Johnson rejected these data sharing arrangements. You get what you pay for. (Times)

He's always been this person. He's just got better at it. A shallow little man driven entirely by envy and greed.
