We're rebranding because Brexit was just the beginning. The same toxic forces that drove it are now global: nationalism, disinformation, democratic backsliding. The New World reflects the bigger fight we’re in. We’re certainly not backing off the topic of Brexit – we’re going in harder.

Labour scores a shock win in Hamilton, beating Reform UK despite a full-on campaign blitz by Farage and Dubai Dick. After pouring in cash and holding a press event, Reform has gone quiet, while Starmer’s Labour celebrates another big boost. #ukpolitics

Can I just mention that, under this govt, a new 54 bed mental health ward has just opened in Derby, & funding has been secured for the Derby Florence Nightingale hospital. Labour is getting on with the huge task of restoring our NHS. If nobody gets to hear about any of it the myths just get to go on

BBC News gave Farage’s speech wall to wall coverage. Don’t seem to be giving much air time to politicians and economists pulling it apart. #r4today

The BBC has gone from being one of the best most impartial broadcasters (at least where the British Government wasn't involved) to being Fox News UK in the last 20 years. It is an absolute disgrace and I can't believe they even dare to talk about impartiality.

Zelensky: Russian strikes are relentless—900+ drones in 3 days, plus missiles. No military logic, only Putin’s choice to destroy lives. Diplomacy fails under attack. Full pressure & strong sanctions from US, EU needed to force ceasefire and peace.

Farage has said Reform will fully reinstate winter fuel payments to pensioners and scrap the two-child benefit cap, if it gets into Government Given they only have 5 MPs, Greens 4, and the LibDems 72 MPs highlights yet again the BBC showcasing the Far Right and studiously ignoring other parties❗️😡

Agree. It’s the stooges the Tory Party stocked the BBC hierarchy with that are the problem. We badly need a properly functioning BBC. It is essential to our democracy.

Had the Brexit referendum been mandatory as the Brexit elite pretended, it would have been legally annulled because of Vote Leave's violation of electoral law. The government acted like Mafia lawyers, exploiting a loophole in the law. Brexit was a crime.

A 1,300-truck Brexit border check facility in Sevington, Kent that will be made redundant by this week's UK-EU trade accord has been put up for sale. All 41 facilities built by port operators for post-Brexit checks, at a combined cost of £120mn, will be made superfluous. Brexit was a waste of money!

Nigel Farage missed Keir Starmer's Commons statement on the UK-EU Summit earlier this week. He's now missing today's Westminster Hall debate on the summit. Because just a few days before parliamentary recess, he's on holiday. (Which is his 10th trip abroad at least since the general election).

The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.

Farage missed a debate on the biggest reset to the EU since Brexit because… he’s on holiday. Does he think he’s an MEP again? He’s made NINE trips abroad (eight to the US) since the GE, many funded by donors, some for other paid jobs. Recess is next week. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When you haven’t shut your gob about ‘surrendering to the EU’ since 2016, but you decide to go on holiday when Starmer’s actually debating it in Parliament. #ukpolitics

I for one am shocked that a man who only turned up for one Fisheries meeting out of 42 when he was an MEP would decide to go on holiday when Parliament was sitting, rather than during the 18 weeks it is closed.

Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

Farage never bothered to turn up when UK fishing rights were being discussed. He never turned up in the EU parliament - yet he did vote against an EU clamp down on Russian propaganda. Working against the interests of our nation.

Can’t quite explain why these petite, cantilevered extensions on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Skipton are so appealing. Maybe it’s the way they are cockled to the wall—like swift nests...

Farage and the right-wing media are banging on about us losing our Brexit benefits when, in the past 9 years, they have been unable to name a single one. Meanwhile, on everything from prices in shops to immigration, we got the exact opposite of what they promised.

They never had a plan. They just lied and lied and lied. Both Brexit and Immigration are the most dishonest and ruinous policies going. A Tory/Farage conspiracy of deceit that Labour seems to want to protect rather than challenge. As for Chris Philp - get in the bin. news.sky.com/story/leaked...
