"The event in St Petersburg was addressed by Mark Collett, a longstanding far-right activist and founder of Patriotic Alternative, which attempted to exploit the summer of unrest outside asylum hotels in Britain." Just in case anyone wonders about the 'patriotism' and what 'alternative' it favours.

Keir Starmer says it is in Britain’s interests to “align more closely with the EU single market” and “we should”. Interestingly this is one of his most passionate answers in a long interview. I think we can expect movement on this issue in 2026. Brexit still remains an unsettled matter.

Super sweet 🐾

Love this thread 🐾💕🐈‍⬛

Brexit didn’t fail because Europe was hostile, but because Britain mistook autonomy for power and nostalgia for strategy. The damage is self-inflicted and the nation is still in denial. www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Man who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax and moved his business to Singapore after the Brexit he voted for wants your sympathy.

The Bakerloop. New DLR trains. More zero-emission buses. And, of course, Bus Aunty. That’s a wrap on our journey through London’s transport updates for 2025.

Maybe if you hadn’t pushed the Brexit that hammered the economy and then pulled your business out of the U.K. into Malaysia and Singapore, and avoided masses of tax, Rachel Reeves would have had more flexibility?

Wonderful.👏
