I preferred the old days when the BBC spoke out against racism to now, when they give a record number of appearances to a Nazi racist who wants to "insurance'tise" the NHS and slash pensions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As Starmer is told by more ministers to step down, and Streeting really is on manoeuvres now... a blast from the past... www.politicshome.com/news/article...

No comment. Glad I don't have a Reform council though. Hold on to your hats! metro.co.uk/2026/05/13/r...

Using old, made-up Tory red lines nobody voted on to reject a Customs Union. You can't say anyone's done it to us but Labour. Comes with having power. And not giving a shit. Top ten in Europe for quality of life, Brexit has dumped us down in mid-table. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

He that milked billions out of his presidency, turned his country pirate, and turned hostile to Europe, arrives in Beijing. Talks to include tariffs, competition over tech, the Iran war, the US's relationship with Taiwan and short afternoon naps. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Took a gift from crypto billionaire Reform comes out for more crypto No surprise to anyone who hasn't got their head up their posterior. Not a 1994 "cash-for-questions" scandal, but the new "cash-for-policies" we've had since the bribe entwined Brexit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He has to jump. If he waits, Burnham will likely beat him in a later contest. This is Streeting (and maybe the "Blue Labour" Tory faction) attempting to preempt Burnham. Streeting is the continuity, more of the same candidate. *Now* it gets messy. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The pinnacle of shame being the BBC giving record appearances to, according to young peers, an actual Nazi, associate of a traitor now in jail, and alleged election bribe taker (see previous posts), Farage. A pundit from 'his' TV channel sues a charity. goodlawproject.org/far-right-pu...

A New York Times story. More than 13,000 U.S. airstrikes and 29 billion dollars spent have failed to significantly weaken Iran’s missile capability. Meanwhile, it's reported Chinese tankers are passing freely through the Straits. American ones are not. 8am.media/eng/iran-us-...

Sixteen minutes? Short and not-so-sweet. Minutes in reception and up the stairs, settling, cup of coffee... I've calculated 3.5 actual minutes talking. So not a discussion by allies on determining the way forward to keep Starmer in power. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Me conspiratorial. Starmer is owned by Blue Labour (Tories, Labour version of the ERG, Brexiters) Streeting is not, but he is RW (privatise NHS etc.) and consults with BL If Starmer feels time is up, to continue his agenda, Streeting = Starmer's choice? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Good to see Sangita Myska back after her disgusting treatment by LBC. Maybe there are some like me, loathe Stramer as a Brexiter con man, but suddenly realised it's too early to push him out. Burnham isn't back in Parliament yet! www.thenerve.news/p/sangita-my...

Credit to Paul Schleifer @PaulSchleifer The interview that alleges Brexiter's Farage and Johnson took bribes and were not in the least bit interested in what was best for the country, but how they could feather their own pockets. Explosive stuff. -

Serious allegations made by Ben Habib. Farage and Johnson allegedly paid £1m to rig 2019 election together. £5m bung to Farage in 2024 was allegedly payment to win Clacton and lead Reform. Murky Brexit deals that helped sell the lies. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brexit saw two very corrosive changes. Mass lying. Politicians have always lied, but Brexiter politicians\RW Press reached a new scale of coordinated lying. & Brexiter's illegally bypassed Parliament. An era of anti-democratic Henry VIII powers begun. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/jam...

I despise Starmer because he's treated the likes of me with contempt. Refusing a CU so he could cosy up to America. Diverging from the EU on finance, banking and tax thievery while achieving nothing on SPS, Musician's Visa's or Youth Mobility. Con man. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Health minister Zubir Ahmed the latest to resign from a lame-duc....Brexiter government. - www.hexham-courant.co.uk/news/nationa...

Breaking: Jess Phillips resigns as a Minister.

The calls to embrace prosperity, strength and peace by rejoining the EU get louder. It's Reuters turn! www.reuters.com/commentary/b...

I think it speaks volumes that this Prime Minister is willing to throw his country, his party and his MP's under the bus and defy the myriad calls for his resignation. Yet won't throw under the bus the made-up... MADE-UP Tory red lines on joining a Customs Union.

This is powerful because Red Wall seats were supposed to hold voters keen on Brexit. Yet MP's would not have called for Starmer's resignation without local anger at his policies. Many of which are influenced in a bad way by his protect Brexit stance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

First actual Minister in Starmer's government resigns. Not the senior rank that Sunak held as chancellor when he resigned from Johnson's government, but Starmer's response back then was "Resign!" Not when it's himself! Clinging on by his fingernails. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Three independence parties now hold power in NI, Wales and Scotland. They have announced an alliance to end the UK union, before joining the EU. England needs to wake up to the ever-growing Brexit damage. It’s not just economic. www.reuters.com/world/uk/div...

Celebrations for Europe Day continue across the continent. In a world dominated by American, Russian and Chinese aggression and unreliability... In a particularly poignant and powerful moment, Ukraine lit up a key monument in the EU colours. www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

Trump and Vance are notorious for crusading on a Free Speech platform while denying it to their opponents or factions they don't like (e.g. Palestinians). Apparently Reform has gone one better. Denying it to their councillors! www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2026/news/ne...

Most outlets are saying "crunch day" or something similar. The furore and pressure now is far greater than the 2021 Hartlepool by-election loss to the Tories where it's said he contemplated quitting the leadership. news.sky.com/story/starme...

The article says we must list the Rejoin positives. I started, but not enough room. Wanna be significantly better off, more powerful as a country, and actually have a say with no running to Brussels to beg? Rejoin is your game. (Free if registered) observer.co.uk/news/busines...

A surprisingly decent article from the usually pro-Brexit BBC. Even noting the Customs Union would not require Freedom of Movement. (CU gives an average £3 Grand/yr to all, and a 2.2% GDP boost, more than all Brexit trade deals combined, inc the CPTPP) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And it gets worse. Three aides quit. (Brings to circa 24, the number of Staff who have walked out on Starmer) Now 60 Labour MP's demand a timetable for quitting the leadership. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It meshes well. The crumbling of the country due to Brexit. And the crumbling of a pro-Brexit Labour Party due to Brexit. Brexit eats another Brexiter Prime Minister. And a fifth Brexiter Prime Minister fails to square the circle. It's THREE gone now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1/2 Reform peddles "fear". Fear of London crime, Immigration etc. Meanwhile, Europe day celebrations and Magyar's Hungary success. It meshes well. Families freed from austerity and grifter populists. A joyous occasion. We need some joyous in blighty. ecfr.eu/article/in-a...

I try to avoid posting 'live' coverage, because the text and headlines change at random. But I think the scale of the demands for the Brexiter to go are beyond a single article now. It's a litany of "just go". www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Starmer talks of "sides". He reiterated today, he's on the side of a poorer Britain, families struggling, record expanding poverty, record high taxes and Brexit. He's also on the side of genocide, war crimes, and allowing UK military support for Israel. www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

"Despite promising to put 'Britain at the heart of Europe', the Prime Minister continues to uphold the status quo on Brexit." "The status quo isn’t working, so here’s some more of the status quo." Hopefully an epitaph for a slimy Brexiter conman. ukandeu.ac.uk/the-prime-mi...

Starmer says he won't back away from the "battle for Britain's soul". That's the problem. Because you're on the wrong side. The side of decline, of contempt for voters, of shit in rivers and record high taxes, of liars, of tax crooks.. The Brexiter side. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So no change. The status quo remains in place. "Make Brexit Work" to continue. Made-up Tory 'red lines' to remain in place. Still trapped in 2016. No Customs Union. More decline nailed on. A no-hope speech for a no-hoper. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Euro Knowns: 1) There is no EU mechanism\rule to force an EU country to join the Euro. 2) You can join the EU without joining the Euro. Sweden, Poland and Hungary have used this to remain outside the Euro. The EU accepts it. So could 'new member' UK. europe-data.com/more-than-th...

Brexit has failed. All but the most self-serving, selfish Brexiter's can see that. It is hurting families and the very fabric of our country's future. No timeline needed. Need not be fast. But a "commitment" to Rejoin is needed. Starmer is not up to it. bylinetimes.com/2026/05/11/k...

America's "four to five week" war has now reached week ten. Double Trump's start of war claim. The American president has declared the war over twelve times in that period. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Inside the phone box. 😃 Compassion that proves this country isn't only diehard Brexiters, or Tory/Reform voters... ...Demanding refugees who literally risked their lives to reach safe shores\an English-speaking land, are deported or set fire to in hotels. (link) www.itv.com/news/calenda...

A bit of a timid speech. "You've got one last, last, last, last, last, last chance" Also, a speech with no suggestions on how to do what she tasked Starmer with. It sounds like she's not going to push the issue now, and that is pretty Burnham friendly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Forced armament purchases - NHS drug prices - Steel. Starmer defy's on Iran, but behind the scenes, "move closer" to America. Starmer says "move closer" to EU. But 2/yrs and no FoM for youth. No SPS Deal. No Musician Visa's A con. An untrustworthy and deceitful Prime Minister.

Starmer, defender of Israeli genocide and war crimes, has surpassed himself. You thought arresting peacefully protesting little old ladies as fake "terrorists" was a disgusting abuse of power? Here's more shilling for Israel. This time kept secret. www.declassifieduk.org/contempt-cas...

Even if she ends up the only one challenging. It would mean a nailed-on improvement to peoples lives and cash in pocket if she won. I say that only thinking of joining the Customs Union. Ruled out by Starmer before the thrashing. And ruled out after. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"Orbán was key in a global far-right network that championed illiberal democracy." "This is a blueprint for dismantling democratic safeguards and enriching its leaders at their taxpayers expense." That explains why Trump and Farage loved Orbán then. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Peter Kyle has been to Brussels, begging for inclusion. (A humiliating reminder of the stupidity of Brexit) Brexiter's chose isolationism. Will their diehards take responsibility for the incoming shit we are going to have to swallow because of Brexit? encompass-europe.com/comment/made...

When a deluded Brexiter is put in charge of Brexit, it's not surprising they protect it. And even if forced to move by its absolute failure, they do so slowly and ineffectively. Let's not make the same mistake twice. Starting with dumping the Brexiter. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” - Churchill US tariffs. Russian invasions. China duplicity. I feel he would also have said: “The EU is the worst form of peace, stability, and prosperity, except for all the others” moneyweek.com/economy/brex...

This article is the equivalent of a Starmer. Trapped in 2016. Failing to recognise public opinion has drastically changed. Caution instead of what's desperately needed. We need better than the well-meant slop of this article or Starmer. We need Rejoin. observer.co.uk/news/busines...
