⭐️ 50 YEARS AGO TODAY ⭐️ 17.4 million people voted “Yes” to Europe… …the single largest vote for any single proposition in the UK’s history. This 17.4M was from a pop at the time of just 56M - and represented a massive 67% of all votes cast. Let’s do it again.

Even as they try and narrow the post-Brexit gap with the EU on things like SPS checks for food, Labour continue to drive forward plans to weaken environmental protections in ways that would never be allowed in the EU. All deviation makes an eventual Rejoin harder.

This is a superb new resource about rejoining the EU.

It takes all the thorny questions, and the objections and obstacles people throw in the way of rejoining, and tackles each one slowly, factually and calmly. Bottom line: we can rejoin. It won't necessarily take a very long time.

War on the poor. If the DWP makes error and overpays certain benefits, the Bill allows Ministers to recover money from the claimant’s bank account. No court order is needed. What if benefit claimants can't afford to repay, or face hardship? No equivalent law for fraudsters and scammers.

Starmer's "island of strangers" is as hideous and xenophobic as "citizens of nowhere" or "rivers of blood" Labour risk losing far more votes on the left and centre than they'll ever win on the right.
