Incredible clip where the mask doesn't so much slip as get pounded into the ground. Very entitled private schoolboy. Threats included. Was that the C-word right at the end too? P.S. Sky categorically state they have not contacted his family. #UKPol news.sky.com/video/reform...

This answers the Guardians question about joining an EU with a heightened defence role. Unequivocally YES Our armed forces are falling apart, and Russia is... probing, learning weaknesses. We also need the intelligence of allies satellite systems we lost with Brexit. #UKPol #RejoinEU #UKMilitary

Trump and Infantino have not even a rudimentary understanding of integrity. It may have no effect on the eventual result, but America just tried to "Rig" the World Cup, and FIFA let them. America should never host the World Cup again. Oily Infantino should go. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The EU changed because: It can borrow at lower rates than nations. America's trade war & protectionism. Russian aggression etc. It's the same question we faced in 1973. Strip away Brexiter lies and fake promises, and the answer that's best for this country hasn't changed either. #UKPol #RejoinEU

When you protect Brexit, you also protect the damage it is doing, and that includes ‘suffocated’ businesses and ‘undermined’ armed forces and intelligence services. So why did your government protect Brexit? We deserve to know why you made us poorer and the country weaker? #UKPol #RejoinEU

One thing that always puzzled me, was the free rein the RW Press was given to incite racism and hate during the Brexit campaign. Yet no accountability or prosecutions? Let's hope this is the pebble that starts a landslide. There's enough hate in the world already. Thank you. #UKPol #Brexit

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has now lasted longer than it's war against Nazi Germany, with far less success. In it's fifth year, 1,592 days of a mindless Russian invasion that has cost well over 1 million Russian lives. news.sky.com/story/st-pet...

His fellow Reform leader, Nathan Gill, ended up in jail for treason. Gill was paid to spread Russian propaganda. Farage said very similar things. Support Putin. Attack EU. Farage is an ex-Russian TV presenter as well! But Farage swears he's just an opportunist grifter who cons people. #UKPol

EU leads the race to NATO 3 with its SAFE project. We scrabble for basic defence funding. The EU is such a large trade behemoth, we have no say on a majority of the regulations that affect our trade. If the EU becomes a military behemoth as well, will the same effect happen on UK military issues?

It's not like ~two years per Prime Minister since Brexit is an indicator that it doesn't matter. It matters massively. Because it decides whether we're Brexit poorer and weaker, or Rejoin richer and stronger. We've had five PM's for Brexit, poorer and weaker. It's that basic. #UKPol

Another ex-Prime Minister delivers a dose of reality. At the end of the day, you have to ask... Why did Sunak, and then Starmer, prefer to see families poorer, the country weaker, than repair the damage inflicted on this country by Brexit? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Brexit was a lie. Even it's main goal, "better lives" was a lie. Tax thievery, racism and delusions of empire power were closer to the truth. We were sold out by lying traitors in our political class. We mustn't let those lies make our future even worse northeastbylines.co.uk/news/europe-...

At the time in 2016, every living British ex-Prime Minister thought Brexit was a terrible idea. Of those, the sanity of John Major stands like a beacon of British common sense. We know who the "enemies of the people" are now. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The triple lock is controversial. But only because it's so low. One of the lowest in the OECD of 38 advanced nations. In the UK, pensioners get circa 25% of the average wage which is significantly below the OECD average of 61%. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Brexiters spent months promising us the holy grail of independence from the EU would bring "better lives" and "Sunlit Uplands". Yet after only two years, one of the most hardcore Brexiter ideologues around is indirectly whinging about having to deal with the consequences of that independence.

Add another 229,000 to the Brexit death count... ...And a deal that never came close to happening while we were a member of the EU. It's alright for Starmer, Badenoch, Farage and other multimillionaires blocking Rejoin in parliament... There wealth means they are protected from this insanity.

Depressing article about UK decline compared to Ireland (not NI). Historically, Ireland has been behind the UK in living standards and influence. Not any more. With the UK fucked by Brexiters, Ireland has caught up and in some aspects sped past a self-harming UK. #Brexit #RejoinEU #UKPol

No USA\China, but we were a genuine power, with a seat at the big table. After Brexit, what are we now? "A bad example" What an epitaph for Brexitland. They promised Sunlit Uplands, and delivered Shit. Why do we not hold the failed Brexiter's in equally low regard? www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

Vance says out loud what some percipient observers had worked out. The ceasefire is a deception by the USA. A temporary truce to rearm and restock. No wonder Genocide Israel went along with it. Chances of it holding just got dumped in the toilet. cbsaustin.com/news/nation-...

Or: "They hate the regime" "A revolution waiting to happen" "Protestors raring to go" And other Yank lies. "A nation with the culture of Iran does not pledge allegiance to corrupt leaders like those in America” At least, with Trump, that is a truth. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

1\2 Google loses its appeal against an EU £3.7Bn fine. Bringing Googles total EU fines to ~£9.5Bn. You can buy two UK defence budget funding shortages for that, or circa 30,000 new Ferraris. Meanwhile: Much throwing of good UK taxpayer money after bad, OFCOM continues to fail against 4Chan. cont

Fordingbridge: That the perpetrators shared their rape videos online is what persuaded me that the original "rehabilitation" sentences were too lenient. More importantly, I hope those girls can rebuild their lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Large cold-blooded attack on Ukraine civilian areas by Russia. "The European Union will sanction Russian military producers involved in the deadly attack on Kyiv Thursday morning" The UK is "prioritising the fast-tracking and coordination of air defence equipment" Shared values good. Brexit dumb.

Hard to deport him if Pakistan just refuse to let him in their airspace. Released ~8/yrs early on a 22\yr sentence give in 2012. Less than six months per rape. I wonder how much prison overcrowding has to do with the decision, rather than a principled judgement? Monitoring needs to be perfect.

Brexit doubled the numbers. Made it harder to deport. Destroyed our deterrent. One reason immigration costs so much is the time taken to process applicants. Pre-Brexit: 90% of applications completed in six months. Post-Brexit: 15% in six months. It's risen to 49% now, after draconian measures.

1/2 Interesting to me as how he has managed to make the justice agencies his bitch. Justice a blank cheque now, for anyone worth above, I don't know, 50M? Impotency in the Epstein case. So many guilty multimillionaires. Yet not one single Pedo in jail. And Trump www.thenation.com/article/poli...

UK's credit rating is marked down due to obvious stupidity of Brexit. France, with a larger national debt than the UK, pays circa half the UK's annual interest payments. (saving over 50Bn a year). UK slashing services for £4.7Bn. France $500Bn plus EU's SAFE project. A tale of one dumb decision.

Quota for UK Steel exports to the EU will be 33% smaller. "We will continue to work to strengthen UK\EU steel trade long-term” - Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle Yet again, you ask to be treated as a member country without the spine to actually say "We need to Rejoin". Pathetic.

Sub-human is a choice. Starmer, Cooper took money from "Friends of Israel", a clampdown on fake terrorists aka peaceful protesters followed. Rouble\oligarch payments to Tories helped Russia get its biggest victory since the 50's, with Brexit. We have a bribery\donation problem. All parties.

The officers involved in the botched arrest of Henry Nowak are facing a gross misconduct inquiry. The hardest sentence this can result in is dismissal without notice and barred from future police jobs. This does not prevent criminal prosecution.

That's not to say other issues do not have an effect, but bear in mind this simple fact: Before Brexit: For many decades, middle of the pack prices. After Brexit: Instant jump to circa most expensive in the world. Not come down since. #UKPol #UKEnergy #UKElectricity

Is there any sight more nauseating than ardent Brexiters whining at the consequences of financial black holes they made happen? Two Hundred and Forty Billion flushed around the U-bend by Brexiters this year. And every single future year we reject Rejoin www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Another financial black hole caused by empty coffers caused by Brexit. (yes, and other events, but mostly Brexit. You can't have a Brexit Bill of 240Bn every year and not feel the pain). No Rejoin. Not even a CU. Maybe it's not just Youth? Has the whole country has given up? #UKPol #BrexitZombies

We have to Rejoin! This idiocy can't go on. Poorer. Weaker. Unable to defend ourselves. America's bitch. There are no Red Lines. Tory crooks made them up. At least get us in a customs union like the 116 countries with more spine and\or brains than us. #RejoinEU #UKPol (pay)

It's so dispiriting. It would have been better if this tosser hadn't tried to charge them TRIPLE. A Brexiter's version of "Moving Closer" that includes massively overcharging. The incompetence here is staggering. #BrexiterTwats #UKPol

If our car industry survives the Carbon Tax. If our car industry survives the Accelerator Act. Some are getting anxious about 5\yrs of doing nothing about the incoming "Rules of Origin". None of these we have any say whatsoever on, of course. A country reduced to Brexit zombies. #UKZombies #UKPol

"Monaco bombing was ‘attempted assassination’, not terror attack" say prosecutors. You sure? Have you ruled out little old ladies, vicars, schoolteachers and retirees sitting, peacefully holding placards with words on? Asking for a tosser. news.sky.com/story/monaco...

That's rich. Just imagine... If Brexiter Starmer hadn't adopted the Tories poisonous, but completely made-up, fake red lines... We wouldn't even be in this position. Tosser.

UK travellers to the continent see it. Every time they are treated as third class citizens. Long delays. Slow lane queues. Extra costs. Now extrapolate that to our exports? The Brexiters "Global Britain" never existed. Because the only "Global Britain" had been given up as we left the EU. #UKPol

Temporary fix. Part of the consequences of Brexit crippling GDP growth are financial back holes and a drop in real terms in government revenue. And lost VAT revenue has to be replaced. I'd rather we rejoined the EU than suffer yet another round of savage cuts to the NHS, to defence etc. #UKPol

Bribery and copious mistakes. But until 2010, never policies where this country was deliberately attacked by their own government. Austerity. Brexit. Policies that, when looked at objectively, saw the people of this country treated as collateral damage. Hard for Manchester to do worse. #UKPol

So many of this country's problems would be solved, or at least alleviated, by Rejoining the EU. Yet, in this case, we blunder down this path of piecemeal spitefulness because we were stupid enough to do away with the EU deterrent... ...and now we're too stupid to Rejoin. #UKPol #UKImmigration

What? Another advisory one? Brexiters will just cheat and break the law again, why wouldn't they? There was no accountability or consequences for fixing the result in 2016. We left the EU off the back of the 2019 "Get Brexit Done" GE. Rejoin should be the same. MAKE IT A MANIFESTO COMMITMENT.

I am worried Burnham will do a Starmer. Once again we have an incoming PM who has declared pro-Rejoin tendencies. And an overwhelming majority for Rejoin in the country. Yet Starmer managed to screw it up, didn't he? The single issue that could make the biggest difference to our lives.

No specific policies have been announced, except the transfer of some office space to Manchester. It was as much about what he left out as what he promised. Fair enough. This was a feel-good occasion. Fingers crossed he doesn't bottle like Starmer. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

More and more of these popping up all over the web. A tribute to the clothe ears of Sir Keir Starmer. A Brexiter, to whom isolating ourselves in the world wasn't enough, he had to do it on the web as well. And the abusive Online Safety Act STILL doesn't work. Children are STILL failed.

- Bicycles NO! - Robots YES! Large numbers of autonomous delivery robots could be coming to towns and cities across England after ministers signalled they were likely to support a change in the law allowing their use. dISGISTING, LETS bREXIT. eu'S fUALT. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Tory neoliberal policy since Thatcher has decimated this country's ability to defend itself. Thatcher's Trickle Down. Cameron's Austerity. Johnson's Brexit. ...Has seen a decline in our military power as our country's wealth was siphoned away. With Brexit leaving gaping financial black holes.

Can't stand the man... But he's just saying what a massive majority think now. "And it’s been a pretty well unmitigated disaster. Every prime minister, every government, has to deal with events. This was a self-inflicted injury" #UKPol #Brexit

Thatcher delivered policies that hit the North hard, yet never bothered with a plan to revitalise the areas that lost out. Some areas have never recovered. The closer power is to the streets, and the further away it is from lobbyists, super-rich donors and Westminster corruption, the better #UKPol
