Reform controlled Council in chaos www.fhld.uk/news/article...

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

Dear John Healey, You could stop the small boats, smash the gangs - and take back government control over entry to the UK - very quickly if you took up the French offer of a centre to process claims in northern France. If it was the boats and the deaths you wanted to stop. #bbclaurak

THE GOVERNMENT WANTS YOU TO FORGET ABOUT BREXIT. We will NEVER forget about Brexit until the day it’s undone.

Yes, indeed,the rambling lies of the orange lunatic continue.

"The law is clear: no president has the power to single-handedly raise taxes whenever they like". US trade court blocks Trump's sweeping tariffs. 😆 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nigel Farage putting his Clacton constituents first by...speaking at a crypto bro conference in Las Vegas today

Prosecutors in the UK have confirmed for the first time they have authorised 21 charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking. Farage said Tate was an "important voice" for men. What does that say about Farage? www.bbc.com/news/article...

All the people complaining that the police have said the Liverpool driver was white British are the same people who made it necessary for the police to say he was white British.

Vote Green 💚

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

The central assumption of Brexiters was "the EU is a threat to free trade; our future lies with the free-trading USA". And then Trump came along - twice. What a spectacular failure of judgement.

Arguing with idiots (Brexiteers) is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

FFS.

Every so often i see posts from the US like this & am reminded how amazing the NHS is. How we don't have to go bankrupt when we get ill. Never forget that FARAGE wants to SCRAP the NHS!!! #ReformParty

Julian sounds like a sensible person.

Nigel Farage, dereliction of duty Tomorrow sees the important meeting of Clacton Town Board at 12.30 am. This is one that the MP should attend and always did. Last time he was in Florida, this time he's in France on holiday. #AnywhereButClacton

Melania Trump says as First Lady she is going to turn her focus on "online bullying". Meanwhile ...

"Reform and the Tories think any agreement on any issue with the EU is a betrayal. They aren't serious people". This seems like a simple, easy message for Labour to repeat every day for the next 4 yrs & would be a lot more effective for them than trying to match them on immigration.

“When Labour negotiates, Britain loses” says Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch whose party’s “oven ready” Brexit cost the UK £100 billion a year in lost output

The Tories and Farage need to shut up and be reminded they did this.

When the next general election comes, businesses will be used to less friction, consumers liking lower prices, EU defence contracts, pet passports, easier travel & more as UK grows closer to the EU Voters won’t want the Brexit rubbish brought back again, Badenoch doesn’t get that! #NeverVoteTory

Lady in yellow, "What about the economic damage of Brexit?" #BBCQT Sonia Sodha, "The last thing you do as a country is to put up massive trade barriers with your closest trading partners, Brexit was absolutely nuts" "It's one of the reasons why we are poorer at the moment"

“Starmer's EU deal is a big break in the suffocating Brexit consensus that has held Britain back for a decade. For the first time a UK government is doing things to actually undo the damage of Brexit, rather than increase it. For that alone it should be welcomed” 👏 bylinetimes.com/2025/05/19/k...

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

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 cries betrayal over access to fish stocks. But NEVER FORGET he stood down hundreds of Brexit Party PPCs to help Johnson win big in 2019 and it was Johnson who negotiated the access. There's no change to access, just an extension on existing deal for 12 years. If it's on anyone, it's Farage

The Brexit media are traitors, betraying our country in the service of a kleptocratic elite faction.
