🤔While we're on the subject of Elon Musk, let's not forget his business genius. Apparently "it's increasingly hard to claim that DOGE made any sizable dent in federal spending, which was its primary goal." "The bottom line is that government spending increased under DOGE..." Such integrity!

The real scandal isn’t that some groups were hit harder than others. It’s that Brexit created multiple groups of losers — and then encouraged them to fight each other instead of demanding their rights back.

Orwell will rise from his grave and chisel his words from the front of a BBC which has become a national embarrassment.

Cal Roscow, Director at Best for Britain: “As a customs union will likely take much longer to negotiate, we must remain clear-eyed about what we must deliver quickly – particularly on access to SAFE in the face of external threats.” https://bit.ly/44ISUqZ

I don't think I'll be watching anything on TV this Christmas that will be better than @chrisgpackham.bsky.social 's interview on GMB yesterday.

This is not transparency. #EpsteinFiles

He’s blocked me, but I’m sure Tommy Stephen Yaxley-Lennon Robinson is chuffed to feature in my ‘2025’ 1000 piece jigsaw 👇👇👇 www.coldwarsteve.com/2025/11/18/u...

Michel Mone linked firm goes bust bit.ly/3Yzqwns Liquidation means the money will not be repaid unless the govt can go after the personal assets in trust but that could be tricky.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear Reform UK has become the most referenced oppositional party on the BBC and ITV’s major news coverage, new research has found www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

This is beautiful.

Apparently it was still being used to count sheep in Yorkshire when I was a little kid, I first heard it from this strange little song by Jake Thackray youtu.be/TiXINuf5nbI?...

Oof! This is well worth warning Anas Saw at, Scottish Labour Party Leader takes down Lord Offord a Reform U.K. Lord on BBC Question Time

So we've gone from "he never said anything Nazi" to "well he might have said something Nazi but not in a hurtful way" to "well okay he probably did say something Nazi in a hurtful way, but didn't we all?"

Three suggestions - impact analysis, put everything on the table, trust Parliament. Having previously been wary of the first I might be warming to it as a way of preparing for the what's next after the current common understanding negotiations. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s a start… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times. So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

The botched Brexit deal has left a billion pound black hole in the public finances. We must fix it - starting with a customs union.

Good piece by @drjennings.bsky.social

Farage was 17 in 1981 when he bullied a 9 year old! I was 17 in 1981 and find this absolutely horrific.

Well this is interesting

🤣🏆🤣🏆

76% of people who believe Brexit has damaged the economy support the UK rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union. It's time for the Government to listen.

You want to hear from the PM or government directly and cut out the media from the equation? The PM has joined substack yesterday and posted up his first newsletter. Along side it, he says "Communication is changing, and I want to be a part of that..." substack.com/@keirstarmer 1/2

Not for the first time, I’m being told that attacking Farage for his boyhood racism is futile. The opposite is the case, as you can see from how rattled he is by it. And no, it’s not about persuading Farage fans anything, it’s about mobilising the non-voters and encouraging tactical voting.

Richard Hermer: “Arguing that 20 people have somehow all misremembered the same things about his nasty behaviour isn’t credible. Throughout his defensive responses to legitimate questions put to him, not once has Farage condemned antisemitism." https://bit.ly/4pHWr0A

Joining Erasmus+ is essential for restoring young people's freedom, allowing them to study, work, and explore different cultures across Europe. This is a positive step.

This is still not good enough. It's not "*how* Brexit was sold and delivered" that was wrong. It's Brexit itself that was wrong, not the how.

A quick reminder of who Nigel Farage was most concerned about when Putin's tanks first rolled into Ukraine

Fairly certain Kemi Badenoch is hoping that nobody has noticed this. Pretty brazen...

Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist

People have causes they care about. That's fine. To me, this petition is the most important UK one of all because it concerns 10+ years of sickeningly successful Russian interference in politics, law, media, the private sector, fiance, and even British society as a whole. So much we care about.

Let’s start by bringing down Farage.

Brexit costing UK as much as £90bn in lost tax revenue every year, analysis finds The analysis also found that the average Briton has seen a hit to GDP per head of between £2,700 and £3,700 www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bre...

Labour doing even more to help rebuild our NHS! + 250 new Neighbourhood Health Centres - bringing different professionals together under one roof + £300m for NHS technology to support the work of staff and boost productivity (a 2% productivity increase could see £17bn in annual savings reinvested)

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

Your reminder that the EU offered to freeze Brexit talks in 2020 so we could focus on Covid but Johnson said no. He then fucked up both: partying while 23,000 needlessly died & did a Brexit so shit the economic impact (-8% GDP) is worse than predictions he described as “the work of gloomsters”

You probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. buff.ly/twsgH5c
