Brexiter Steve ‘hard man’ Baker says Labour’s trade deal with India is great news, “furthering free trade in the national interest outside the EU” But Steve doesn’t say that a customs union deal with the EU would be 20 times bigger. Or, of course, what Tory EU-phobia has already cost us.

“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas” FFS. What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here? The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas? One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.

“He and his party have never run anything – a local council, a parish council. He’s spent a lifetime doing what he accuses others of doing, which is riding the political gravy train” Farage will take your votes and then take the piss. Don’t give him that chance. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brexit has “damaged the practical ability” of doctors to offer NHS patients life-saving new drugs via international clinical trials” Extra rules and costs have a “significant negative impact” on UK cancer research… But yeah, “Brexit betrayal” is the real problem. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

One possible upside of the Trump tariff lunacy is how he’s megaphoned to the world that making any deal with him would be truly insane. Unless you’re prepared to ‘kiss ass’ and betray your own interests, only for him to randomly change his mind. If you want red lines, that’s where they should be.

Wild that media treats Trump’s tariff meltdown as something of any meaning beyond bribery, corruption and mad egomania. Markets rallied because they were on their arse. There’s nothing resembling credibility about any of this. A throwing-things, pant-wetting tantrum in the middle of a supermarket.

So on brand for The Times to help whip up the victimhood of the right, rather than calling it what it is… Criminal abuse of power. A corrupt politician being found guilty in a court of law. Judges did their job. Le Pen muzzled herself. She is responsible for her own demise. Democracy is safer today.

“Putin wants to destroy Ukraine…. Trump cannot stand up to him… Trump’s theatrics and phone calls change nothing. He is Putin’s ally, not ours. What comes next will be up to Europe, not America” For all our sakes, we must do this, together. @iandunt.bsky.social liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/the...

“Many see Trump's stance on Ukraine and his willingness to offer Putin concessions as a harbinger for his wider indifference towards Russia's threat to Europe.” Those that don’t see it like that are traitorous sycophants and fools. (FT, Europe Express supplement)

So, with devastating climate disasters, a world made more unsafe and cruel by Trump and our own country wrecked from 14yrs of Tory failure, Badenoch thinks scrapping Net Zero targets and leaving the ECHR is the answer. She’s nothing more than an idiotic Twitter troll, churning out posts for Musk.

Tories must feel so glad to have the JD Vance-whisperer as their leader. So, when the rest of us hear him insulting us, Badenoch tells us he didn’t say what he said at all. And goes on to sneer at us for minding being insulted. Chef’s kiss of obnoxiousness from that clueless clown.
