“Now is the moment for ambition, for believing in a future where we are able to trade freely with our closest neighbours, to cooperate with them fully on shared challenges, to enjoy freedom of movement and all the opportunities that it brings.” ….

Hard to be sure, but I don't share the certainty that some people have that it would refuse. In fact the legal position is that the opt outs on the single currency, Schengen and justice and home affairs law are still in protocols attached to the Treaties.

NHS England went out of its way to tell us (www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechn...) our data was safe. It wasn't. And we are right to worry. Palantir is deeply political. And highly unethical: it paid for a smear campaign against Good Law Project. Did they also access my medical records? My family's?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan: UK should rejoin EU through an election, not a second referendum. “Inward investment is lower than it would be, trade is lower… In London our economy is about £30bn smaller than it would otherwise be, the average Londoner is about £3,400 poorer because of Brexit.”

Labour didn’t need to cut welfare or further freeze personal tax allowances. PTA should be >£15k by now. Labour could have done so much more if Reeves had taxed differently. I “made 7 policy decisions, reducing fiscal shortfall by £45.5bn” www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says that on Brexit Nigel Farage said “we’d be stronger, we’d be richer, we’d have lots of money for the NHS, immigration would come down and it all proved to be false”

“there are two factors at play here: a lack of coverage from the media and poor communication from the government…lack of clever comms feeds into a lack of attention from the press who would rather focus on Westminster psychodrama & Reform publicity stunts” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/more-la...

So why don’t people know this? Why don’t they know what ReFUK will do to our NHS? How badly they are running councils. Dreadful comms. Set up No10 press briefings! Get on all social media & tell the story!

This! 👇loads of speculation about who should be leader instead (NOTA) but nothing about why Labour has lost their progressive vote base and yet are failing to appeal with policies which try to out FUK ReFUK. #TaxTheRich #TaxTheBanks #WindfallTax #PR #RaiseTheBasicTaxAllowance #RaiseCGT #Rejoin etc.

“The EU might also ask Britain to swap the pound for the euro - although it has not insisted that six member states including Poland and Sweden adopt the single currency.” #Brexit www.reuters.com/commentary/b...

Ahead of Starmer's speech on UK-EU relations, my long read on why the PM is absolutely right to seek a much deeper relationship in response to geopolitical and economic challenges, but why his cakeist approach won't work open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...

So we understand the substance of UK-EU relations now - any substantive change requires pounds, people, and positivity in Brussels. Rather, today's Starmer speech will instead be greeted by Brussels as the latest of many cries for help from a lost UK PM.

#PR now!

🚨BREAKING - Today HSBC announced that in just the first three months of 2026 it made £6,960,000,000 in profits 🤯 That's money coming directly from the higher rates mortgage-holders and other borrowers are paying, all because of the BoE's rate hikes. We deserve better economic policy than this.

“This is a hugely popular policy which would go a long way towards showing frustrated voters that the government is willing to put their interests above those of big corporations like banks.” We stand with @tuc.org.uk in calling for a windfall tax on banks👇 morningstaronline.co.uk/article/unio...

"If the government wants to take action on borrowing costs, it should recoup payouts to banks with a windfall tax on the record profits they have made without lifting a finger." The UK's big 4 banks have already made £13.8 billion in profit this year. Time to #TaxTheBanks.

And thank you to everyone who's backed this action so far; a number of MPs have responded positively already! 👏 The more of us who take action, the stronger our collective voice will be. stopfundinghate.info/get-involved/take-action-on-ofcom/

This is what Ofcom's inaction has been enabling. We all deserve better. 📨 Take action and write to your MP: stopfundinghate.info/get-involved/take-action-on-ofcom/ If you've already emailed your MP, you can help by: 🔵 Sharing this link on socials 🔵 Encouraging those around you to add their voice

🚨 BREAKING: the Communication Workers’ Union just voted to back Proportional Representation at its annual conference in Bournemouth @cwunews.bsky.social 📈 Trade unions representing three quarters of Labour affiliates now back PR 🎯 We need a National Commission on Electoral Reform

In South Hampstead, 29.2% of the vote was enough to secure 100% of the seats. In nearby Belsize - under the same electoral system, on the same council, on the same day - the exact same vote share, 29.2%, left the second-placed party without a single councillor. Make this make sense.

This is the end result of Shabana Mahmood’s nasty immigration policies… more votes for Reform and so, more racism scaring and dividing our communities. Not sure how Labour can justify this, politically or morally. It’s so far from what we’d all hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I could do with the US not triggering another pandemic - maybe actively working to undermine peace and prosperity is enough

Not one poll, survey or opinion piece shows Brexit to be anything other than a complete disaster for this country and not just economically. It is a spreading decay at our heart. Open your eyes Mr Starmer or close the door on your way out. www.reuters.com/commentary/b...

“When you [ReFUK] don’t have a moral underpinning to what you are trying to do, your entire raison d’etre is winning. That is why so many Tories have defected to Reform, because it is seen as a vehicle for winning power.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

6. Get rid of Mahmood and her sick 'policies'. 7. Stop trying to attract xeno 'hero voters', who will vote for The Real Thing rather than a Labour simulacrum.

I still don’t understand how Ofcom permits a channel that has “news” in its title to claim not to be “news” so that it doesn’t even have to attempt to be impartial.

“The European Green party has urged the UK to consider rejoining the EU and draw a line under the “political and economic failure” of Brexit” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“With the economy ailing and the progressive vote split, Labour is on course to lose the next general election. There is only one lever left to pull. At the next election, the party must campaign to rejoin the EU.” Poll in the article. 73% favour rejoin #Brexit www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Fagash thought he could ignore rules on MPs conduct; he thinks they don't apply to him. Before the £5m, he failed to declare gifts 17 times. He didn't turn up for the new MP training sessions put on by the Speaker's office. He's about to get a rude awakening.

“The British press usually works itself into a fury if people in public life threaten legal action against journalists... But when it comes to the wall of money and lawyers propping up Farage and his finances, barely a squeak” Democracy dying in the darkness. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

How about a criminal investigation and a permanent ban from public life for taking bribes and lying to the electorate? A wrist slap for breaching a code, a suspension and by-election is more prize than punishment for tantrum-prone Farage who’s barely an MP anyway. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

The one thing that would reset the whole political debate would be if Keir Starmer announced on Monday that he wanted to rejoin the EU. Reform would have a field day, but he would unite the left and make politics a binary choice between the two.

Britain's political map has been redrawn by sustained socio-economic hardship. The irony is that British voters now see the man who spearheaded the Brexit campaign, the single biggest contributor to stagnation in the UK over the last decade, Nigel Farage, as the solution. Source: @theeconomist

Prime Ministers don't stand down after poor local election results has previous Prime Minister's show 👇

Remember when people kept claiming George Soros was paying Remainers & funding campaigns and how it was wrong for a foreign billionaire to try to influence our democracy? Really weird how quiet they are about a £22mn donation to Reform & £5mn gift for Farage from an overseas billionaire isn’t it.

Reform incompetence at local level won't automatically translate into voter disaffection for Reform at national level. We have to make it happen. Make Farage own every Reform council scandal and corruption. Exhibit every failure at local level so voters know what they would get at national level.

It's good that Reform UK have won more councils. It will provide even more evidence of their total incompetence when governing before the country decides who should be the next national government. This is an opportunity to expose Reform UK's ineptitude & shallow populism to the British electorate.

There's a clear message to Labour from their previous voters in Birmingham, but Labour still don't seem to be listening
