And once more for the hard of thinking: BREXIT WAS AN UNADULTERATED DISASTER AND THE GREATEST PIECE OF NATIONAL SELF-HARM IN LIVING MEMORY. *end of message*

With respect to those who say the major problem in the UK is growth / cost of living, I'm sorry but I think the way in which everyday life seems at the mercy of often completely unaccountable organisations is worse. And politicians talking in the abstract rather than lived experience.

It is absolutely time we lobby governments at local and national level to ditch US tech and support local EU initiatives as well as Linuxisation of EU & UK computer systems. These techno-fascists seek to undermine the unity of the EU because they want to be paid for internal surveillance borders.

We need to be more curious about what is causing the rise in anxiety in children and young people, and more responsive in addressing the issues, right here, right now. Most important, ignore the machinations of huge corporations who want children online, in factory schools & in mass childcare ASAP.

So net migration to the UK has halved, and Britain has regained its position as the fifth largest economy. But as all UK news comes via the filter of the foreign-owned Reform-supporting media, you won't hear much about it. And it doesn't fit Labour's own narrative that Starmer must be replaced.

We are stronger when we stand together. That’s why our enemies want a divided EU.

Wrong direction. Should be focusing on the EU who we can trust. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Let’s fix our own country. Let’s get it working again. Let’s get it back to where people want it to be.” Just how does Burnham propose to do that if he's not going to try to return the UK to the EU? Labour seem determined to disappoint! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is a terrible day for British democracy and privacy. Palantir has Orwellian techno-fascist goals, & the British government has agreed to give full access to NHS data—they do not support free healthcare, and they want the data to monitor British society. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Brexiters can "accuse" us of "betraying Brexit" as much as they want... It is a badge of honour for us! We are proud of it! Brexit should never have happened, and we want it reversed! Simple as... #RejoinEU #Breturn

As a matter of fact, this matter is not settled and it will never be settled until we rejoin the EU. That is because leaving the EU was plainly so very damaging and the damage continues to worsen the longer we stay out. And because the referendum itself was a travesty of democracy.

As Mrs Brown tells Paddington, “In London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in.”

Delighted that my 3rd novel, Life Sequential, is published today in p/b & Kindle formats. From the Caribbean to the heart of Westminster, through riots & political intrigue to arcane knowledge, Life Sequential picks up after 22 years from where Portrait 63 ended. www.amazon.com/author/roder...

Everyone is rightly interested in Harborne’s monetary support for Nigel Farage. But GB News provides him with an annualised salary of over a million pounds a year, 500,000 shares and unaccounted for millions in terms of free political advertising for Farage’s Party

Lisa Nandy: "There's no appetite for reopening the Brexit debate ... we had a referendum and Leave won." Whatever focus groups she's listening to she needs to get out more. & Leave only "won" by lying & cheating - not exactly a justification for persisting with a disastrous mistake.

'no return to free movement, no to rejoining customs union or single market' 'She wants to remove barriers to business' Have Labour been in a coma 2015-20 and missed all the Brexit debates? Does Phillipson not understand that the former precludes the latter?

I've just signed a petition calling on the UK government to give British businesses a better deal with Europe. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/single-marke...

In the Jewish Chronicle, which argued Israel's genocide is good for Palestinians; and which, by positioning the Jewish community as aligned with the Far/Right, has probably done more than any other single institution to increase anti-semitism in the UK, a gentile accuses a Jew of anti-semitism.

THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS IS A SAFETY NET THAT PROTECTS US ALL - NO MATTER WHO IS IN POWER WE MUST DEFEND IT! Planned reforms to how it works could lead to a slow erosion of our rights. Is that what we want? @libertyhq.bsky.social youtu.be/Fhrb5Z7ScME?...

There is no way of making Brexit work. It was, is, will always be a damaging, expensive, stupid mistake. Can we get on with applying to rejoin please? yougov.com/en-gb/tracke...

Things can be achieved on the margins of Europe but we will only reap the full benefits when we rejoin. #Rejoin 🇪🇺

Governments of the world: Cut ties with Palantir and Peter Thiel now. actions.eko.org/a/government...

Brilliant from @carolinelucas.bsky.social on Farage’s failed Brexit experiment 👏 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/n...

The institutions that are supposed to protect our democracy need to wake up to the reality of 2026. Quite obviously, there is nothing to "consider" here. Quite obviously, this needs investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Read @zackpolanski.bsky.social who, inconveniently for those who instrumentalise anti-semitism, is a Jew: "When people create false allegations of antisemitism, or blur the lines between challenging the Israeli government and antisemitism, as a Jewish person, that makes me feel a lot less safe."

William Keegan is right. He puts it clearly and succinctly. If you are pro Britain, you'll want to rejoin the EU and be in Europe. If you don't want this, you don't want the best for Britain.

Alain Berset, Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, spoke to BBC Radio 4 yesterday about the importance of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The UK was the first signatory to the ECHR, and played a formative role in creating the court. We must continue to protect our membership.

"This is an important thing to think about."

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere." tinyurl.com/3ejuyv89

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS Nothing to see or everything to see Palantir must be removed from the NHS

Well, it's a bright, cold day in April. There seem to be cameras everywhere. For some reason I feel a strange compulsion to count the chimes of the church clock carefully.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Just align with the EU rather than try to negotiate a multitude of small deals! You can’t make Brexit work… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“There’s no escaping this conversation. The damage Brexit has done to this country is obvious now to everyone. We wasted years of our lives pursuing a project whose only possible outcome was to mutilate and embarrass us” This conversation cannot happen soon enough. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Disturbing. NHS staff should be able to freely raise concerns about the entrenchment of this utterly unethical spy-tech firm in our healthcare system. The largest municipal healthcare network in the US has dropped Palantir after significant protests. We must do the same, before it's too late.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

We are liking the new Hungarian Prime Minister more and more. A few days ago Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the UK should rejoin the EU if the US abandons NATO. Now #PéterMagyar is going further... Let us get on with it #RejoinEU

Yes, it was one of the best things about being in the EU

I like this pope more and more

If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.

Presenting the reopening the Strait of Hormuz as a victory is like the Greeks failing to take Troy but celebrating the safe return of their wooden horse

PM Sanchez with all the great lines: “Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

We can all agree with Sir Michael Morpurgo - Brexit was a grave mistake. It's time we fix the damage.

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.
