A Labour MP has blamed Brexit for Rachel Reeves’ tax-hiking Budget last October. Andrew Lewin said leaving the EU has left Britain £40bn poorer per year, adding that “were we still members… there would not have been a single tax rise” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

news.sky.com/story/a-disa... Brexit still doing it's worst for the country and those duped people who believed the Tory Tossers

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Well many of you farmers did vote for Brexit so what did you expect. It's not as if you weren't warned.

Admitting and publicly declaring Brexit was a disaster is a welcome start - but it's not enough. Nevertheless, this is still progress. "Brexit was always a terrible mistake. But now, at least, people recognise it. And with that, things might just start to improve."

📢 I've decided to do regular 2-3 mins video updates of latest authoritarian antics of Trump administration on YouTube & TikTok. Have been inspired by reading how many people get their news there and how dominated it is by the right. www.tiktok.com/@profchristi... www.youtube.com/@ProfChristi...

French military personnel have boarded an oil tanker Boracay, which is named on a list of "shadow fleet" ships and is suspected of involvement in drone activity that forced the closure of airports in Denmark last week.

Not all Reform voters are racist. But all racists are Reform voters. Just like UKIP voters. Brexit Party voters and UKIP voters. The same racist fckwits chasing the same frogfaced grifter who tells them all their problems are because of foreigners, not rich public school bankers like himself.

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

"I have had enough of politicians who have lied to this country, unleashed chaos and walked away after Brexit..." - Keir Starmer Is the first time he's mentioned the 'B' word ?

Burnham says he hopes Britain rejoins EU as he hits back at Reeves and Starmer on the economy…. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I don’t know anyone who wants Starmer’s vision ; it not what was promised. The vast majority want Burnham’s vision. What on 🌍 - if anything- is appealing about Starmer’s version? Besides there’s another factor to consider: no one (virtually) trusts Starmer now.

We may speak the same language with the US but we have little else in common. The future of the UK lies with our friends and neighbours in the EU. Anyone who wants a piece of the dystopian action from across the Atlantic is certifiable.

The truth: Russia’s fingerprints are all over Brexit and Reform UK. Farage’s spin machine keeps selling “sovereignty”… while his top lieutenants were literally on Moscow’s payroll. But only the NYT is telling the full story. Why is 🇬🇧 press so quiet on this? archive.ph/2025.09.26-1...

Andy Burnham on why he’s for rejoining the EU… …and why we need to call out Reform on Brexit. 👏👏👏👏

The man behind the US’ summary execution of civilians off the coast of Venezuela is Stephen Miller.

The #LabourPartyConference voted unanimously, ten years ago today, that Britain is better off being inside the European Union and should campaign to remain in the EU. Even more reasons for that now…

Indeed, did Farage “get paid for this, like Nathan Gill, or is he the kind of treasonous fascist tool who would do this for free?”

1/ This speech made by Farage in September 2014, after Russia's first invasion of Ukraine, is a stream of Russian propaganda lies that could have come from Lavrov's mouth.

This issue, and Neil Kinnock’s comments, comes up a lot at meetings at the #LabourConference2025 , usually with supportive comments on Neil’s line.

Burnham at fringe #Lab25 event: "Look at the last decade we've had. Shouldn't we start calling out the disaster that #Brexit has been, more directly? They are the people who took us down this path. That's their doing. And we've got to absolutely hold them accountable for that." ~AA

Another heartbreaking Brexit story. 💔 Aaron Rutigliano, celebrated 🇮🇹 restaurateur, closing his London restaurant after 15 yrs. He blames prolonged Brexit and perceived decline of London as true “European capital.” Talent/biz gone. Communities poorer. reportergourmet.com/en/news/9168... #Rejoin

"We must call his scheme to round up and deport our French, our Indian, our Caribbean neighbours, who already have Indefinite Leave to Remain what it is: It is racist. I say, not in our country, not in our name, not in our time." Lammy's delivered a bit of a barn-stormer. ~AA

Well I wasn't expected this! And it's excellent! Labour are bringing back maintenance grants for students in higher education. They will be targeted to disadvantaged students studying priority courses to help them access & excel in their studies. They grants were abolished by the Tories in 2016.

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

It's the Labour Party conference so who does #BBCBreakfast have on to discuss it? Reform party chair 🤷🏽‍♂️ Did BBC ask anyone from Labour to comment on Reform's party conference?

This really enrages me ,the children of migrants enforcing drawbridge policy. Other migrants aren't allowed to benefit like her parents and family did. The attack on migrants is the smoke screen. Migrants contribute to our country and pay tax. She has gone very Suella. Recycling Tory policy....👇

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Something inside so wrong: Labi Siffre tells Tommy Robinson to stop using anti-apartheid anthem

Yes. That was always there. But ownership of British press was big factor & its outsize impact on the BBC. Other outlets did some great work but the lawsuit stopped all reporting dead. And it’s why the correct response to a SLAPP is a) protect your journalist & b) keep going.

This is the article, I believe, that first kicked things off. That was when the attacks began in earnest. @peterjukes.bsky.social & I revisit this whole dark period in Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring… www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Labour Party Conference will see several meetings (The Fabians, UK in a Changing Europe, Labour Movement for Europe & others) on how far and how fast Britain should strengthen its bonds with the rest of Europe: youth mobility? single market? customs union? security pact? Erasmus? Rejoin EU?

DEMOCRACY SUNDAY: NIGEL FARAGE AND THE REFORM LIES 1. Nigel Farage owns the Party as a private company. 2. Farage met the Russian Ambassador to London in 2013 while later claiming he had never met the Russian Ambassador. 3. Nigel Farage made many appearances as a commentator on RT the Russian

Nigel Farage wants to drag Britain down the same road as Trump’s America: chaos, division and fear. Our NHS, our rights and our communities are at risk. Do not let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

2 If they threaten the capital of Ukraine with a blackout, then the Kremlin should know that there will be a blackout in the capital of Russia as well,” the president said during a briefing.

Meanwhile in the UK..some Citizens aren’t keen on BritCards…

I don't want a digital ID. I want a physical ID card I can put in my pocket. If I only have a digital ID card on my phone, then it's linked to the other data on my phone. That makes it easier for governments to hack me. It also means I have to show my phone to police when they demand to see my ID.

Effectively the same schtick that Johnson pulled in the 2019 election which saw any non-zealot Brexiteers removed. That worked well didn’t it🤦🤯🤬

You know whaaat?! Some people have become sponges absorbing the firehose of MAGA hate. You know whaaat?! Ugly is as ugly does. You know whaaat?! Kind, smart, truly patriotic Americans are going to take this country back and you can return to buying “Live Laugh Love” throw pillows at Hobby Lobby.

Our government in action.
