It's rather telling that Reform are dead set against letting 16 to 18 year olds vote. And just a reminder to 16 to 18 year olds that Labour have repeatedly said that they will not rejoin the EU, unlike Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru. It is a mystery what Zarah and Jelly will do.

It would be interesting to hear Trump fan boy Farage's view on Epstein.

Reform ... hanging up Closed signs throughout Britain.

I just want a government that gets on with the business of governing. Investment, Health, Education, Trade, International Relations. Not this interminable navel gazing about stopping the boats.

Near where I live there is a gentleman who stands in his doorway and waves to passing cars. Today I happened to be on the bus and the whole bus waved back to him.

I would tell you about what I think of Palestine Action but I fear the knock on the door. I also fear that they won't bother knocking.

Anyone unable to understand why thousands of people joined Bob Vylan in chanting ‘Death, Death to the IDF’ at Glastonbury should read the article below 1/4 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I suppose the only valid reason for watching Rod Stewart at Glastonbury is to see the crowd's reaction as he tries to big up Farage.

Screeching U-turn? How did Starmer get this so wrong?Number 10 set to offer concessions to welfare rebels. Of course if Labour were to rejoin the EU, there would be enough tax revenue to avoid shitshows like this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If Labour MPs can force a U-turn on disastrous welfare cuts they can also force a U-turn on Labour's disastrous policy on EU membership.

Trump bombs a country that poses no immediate threat to the US without Congress approval or reference to the UN and all Starmer does is whine about who is on at Glastonbury. We deserve much, much better than this.

After all the gloss surrounding the reset, the dust has settled and revealed that we need Reset 2.

You can't argue with geography. Or common sense. observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Who went through more drummers, the Who or Spinal Tap?

Glad to see Reform have stopped global warming in its tracks in Durham by abolishing the climate committee.

Labour is absolutely not trying to clean up the mess of Brexit. The UK/EU deal is of no consequence whatsoever given the colossal damage of leaving the EU. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTbg...

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and/or wanting to rejoin. Every metric shows it to have caused significant damage in many areas, not just economic. In chasing dwindling Brexit supporters Labour are haemorrhaging its traditional base.

54% of Reform voters support a closer relationship with the EU? Perhaps there is another way for Starmer to attract Reform voters?

It seems that the general desire for a change of direction , towards Europe, was there all the time . Who’d have thought it ? 🙄 BBC … enough with Frigging Farage . He doesn’t represent the country !

Gold Dome? He's naming it after his bloody hair.

The net result of all the gnashing of teeth and screaming by the right wing media to the modest reset Starmer announced was predictable disinterest by the public at large. They are bored with Brexit, they want to see an end to it and the UK to rejoin with as little fuss as possible.

Over and over we hear that the right wing are gaining traction with the young. Pity the polls do not agree ...

Spot on. Enough is enough.

Skips meetings of the fishing committee when an MEP, does not hold MP surgeries, misses debates in HOC to campaign for Trump and now swans off on holidays and misses Commons debates on his pet subject. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The hysteric reaction of the lunatic right to Starmer's limited EU reset and the general public's disinterest in their bleating and obvious desire for Starmer to get on with it and build closer links to the EU means Starmer needs to get on with Reset 2 pretty damn quick.

Anyone else think he's being naive? The changes yesterday will not get anywhere near replacing the growth lost via Brexit. It's always going to be a drag on our economy Yes interest levels are dropping...we can't be naive about that, but we are not going away are we? www.bbc.com/news/article...

A Brexit reset is not enough to give your kids a treat.

The "details" of the reset have been published. Except there are no details, time after time we read the line "talks are continuing" and continue they will until a government will say "fuck this for a game of soldiers, let's rejoin".

Brexit was never going to work, but that's somewhat beside the point now - because it has become a cult. And that's everyone's problem when seeking to resolve it.

Brexit has been a nightmare for UK musicians! Restrictions on touring have dried up opportunities for all involved, from drivers and sound engineers to stage managers and artists. There has been a real failure to recognise the value of creatives. I hope today’s deal rectifies this mistake.

Social media this morning is a zombie apocalypse of dinosaur Tory politicians and right wing hangers-on hankering after the nasty Brexit wars of the last decade. Our country has moved on!

If mine find themselves in this happy situation, I will be cheering them all the way, no matter how much it hurts HMRC. Such a robustly xenophobic polity doesn’t deserve the tax revenue from bright young minds

British parents of young adults: be prepared to lose them to living & working in the EU somewhere if they fall in love with young EU adults over here on the 'youth mobility scheme'..They will find it is impossible for the vast majority to meet UK immigration requirements to settle in the UK together

The day after an EU "reset" people will start to demand more. Better access to the Single Market, better and easier movement, reduction of red tape, the list goes on and will not be exhausted until we rejoin the EU as full and equal members.

Admirable though a reset might be. Once again we are seeing late night talks and rows. Brexit did not stop the rows and never will. It is a huge effort for marginal gains. Once this lot are over the next lot will start. Far better to put an end to it and rejoin

The USA slowly falling apart as public services are withdrawn is a warning of how the UK will fall apart under Reform.

Tad difficult to argue that queuing at airports and preventing young people from finding jobs are Brexit Freedoms.

Farage thinks fracking is something they did to fags in his public school days, before he worked in the city and before he became a working class hero.

Labour's "vote for Keir or the puppy gets it" strategy to mobilise leftish and liberal voters against Farage only works if Labour presents social and EU-friendly policy puppies that leftish or liberal voters want to protect

Fellow Rejoiners, we will need tactical voting in. 2029, but we don't want another Brexit Labour government. Our tactic in local and by-elections should be to vote for the LibDems and Greens to help put as many of their candidates in poll position for tactical voting in 2029.

No policies, just dog whistles and attention grabbing. Sadly, Starmer is so cowed by his presence that he blindly apes him.

So the Assisted Dying Bill is effectively being filibustered. The government are so scared of a right wing bully boy that even with a huge majority they cannot govern. Our democracy is broken and unable to function. It needs a root and branch overhaul.

Voting "Labour to get the Tories out" has made no difference to our living standards. The only way to improve things for Scots is #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

To all those sceptics who say Starmer is on the wrong path, let me point out that after his actions of the past week his favourability rating amongst Conservative voters has gone up by one point.

English voters talk as if 2029 is the target date, it isn’t. In 2026 Scotland and Cymru vote. If Starmer’s Labour lose both of then even his most Westminster centred MP’s will know he’s finished. Want rid of Starmer but live in England? Boost Plaid Cymru, SNP, LibDems, Greens in the 2026 votes.

The worst element of what happened this week isn't even about immigration specifically. It's that Starmer surrendered against populism.

"I know you're angry about immigration" says Starmer on Twitter. No. I am supernova furious at your casual assumption that everyone in the UK is an intolerant racist. And that therefore it's fine to treat immigrants like dirt because you're in tune with the prevailing mood. Get in the bin.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.
