I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday. I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes. We do not need randomised trials of 'vaccine' versus 'no vaccine' when those vaccines have already been shown to be safe & effective. #episky 🧪

JD Vance, vice president of a regime currently overthrowing its own democracy, lectures Europe on the "retreat" from "some of its most fundamental values". He cites the Romanian Constitutional Court annulling its recent presidential election. He doesn't mention this was because Russia interfered.

1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵

As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work @bestforbritain.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: This is what the Government's been missing in its plan for growth.A boost to UK GDP of up to 2.2%.How can they get it?With deep alignment with the EU on goods & services. Which would be firmly within Starmer’s Brexit ‘red lines’. 1/6 www.thetimes.com/article/8423...

Nigel Farage supported Brexit Nigel Farage supported Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. Nigel Farage called Liz Truss’s budget the best budget for 40 years. Nigel Farage says the NHS should be privatised. Farage has been wrong about, everything. Don’t let Farage ruin our country any longer.

Like a dog in a park chasing a squirrel, Nigel Farage had no idea what Brexit would be like when he finally got his paws on it. And, eight years after the UK voted to leave the EU, he still has not got a clue. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Brexit was sold to us on the basis that it would: - be easy (“easiest deal in history”) - save lots of money (that would all go to the NHS) - keep our unfettered access to single market - cut immigration Has anything ever been more mis-sold?

Reeves says the govt is knocking down barriers to growth – but why won’t they touch the biggest one of all? A new 🇬🇧🇪🇺 UK-EU customs union would be the most powerful boost to our economy. Refusing to even consider it isn’t just unambitious – it’s actively holding Britain back.

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.

Wow 💥 Just 10% of Labour voters say we were right to leave the EU, and just 9% think Brexit has gone well. That means 90% of those who voted for this government in 2024 are OPPOSED to Brexit. (And that's without Labour even mentioning the benefits of EU or Single Market membership for 8+ years!) 🇬🇧🇪🇺

“Progress in lowering barriers to trade with the EU, the UK’s biggest market, would deliver a positive jolt to sentiment” Come on guys. This is painful. It’s our biggest market. There’s no magic formula. And no Brexit benefits. If there were, we’d know about them by now. www.ft.com/content/5452...

If Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea. In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. Let's steal those ideas.
