It’s been 9 years since the Brexit vote. If you’re still flying the 🇪🇺 flag in your heart ❤️… change your profile and make today a Blue Monday! #RejoinDay #TeamEU #BrexitRebels

This is just one metric of how terrible Brexit has proved to be .. how many other negative impacts & consequences are unmeasurable?

We are currently in a war being run by reality TV personality Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense. Have a nice day.

THREAD: Reform are as happy as can be. Why? Because Labour have chosen to fight them on their preferred battlefield - immigration - rather than on Brexit, something that would be very awkward for Reform to defend given the prevailing negative mood in the country about our decision to leave the EU.

“This day weighs heavy in the hearts of millions in the UK who knew that leaving the EU would be catastrophic, not just for our economy and living standards, but in validating an ugly wave of populism and nativism which continues to this day." @pimlicat.bsky.social @bremaininspain.com

BREAKING: According to the New York Times, U.S. intelligence believes Iran removed approximately 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity from the Fordow facility prior to the strike. The current location of this nuclear material is unknown to the United States.

Anyone trying to extract a scrap of geopolitical logic from Trump’s attack on Iran should be asked to explain how Trump signed a deal with the Taliban, and walked away from a whole generation of Afghan allies without a backward glance, condemning a whole society to grinding oppression.

A million people marched against the illegal war in Iraq and they were right. Now the same script is playing out again. Same lies, same institutions, same push for war. We can’t let history repeat itself.

Not too long ago, they threatened China with insane tariffs, and now they're asking for their help. They don't even know what they're doing... We're cooked. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Keir Starmer is calling for Iran to “return to the negotiating table”. But is he also calling for those Iranian negotiators to be safe from Israeli assassinations? Because that what happened to the previous Iranian negotiators. It’s ridiculous.

This

If Iran had attacked the USA it would be outrageous terrorism requiring an overwhelming response. But because the USA attacked Iran it's perfectly fine and it's Iran who needs to be sensible and come to the negotiating table What a load of BS our 'peaceful Western Democracy' is

Trump has tipped the world into a war situation, and the economic consequences could be very severe indeed. Expect inflation, recession and a stock market crash. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06...

"if killing 23 civilians at an aid distribution site is not terrorism, how can we possibly be expected to accept that spray-painting a plane is?" Damn right Sally Rooney The irony of a government complicit in genocide doing this is chilling and indefensible www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Apparently they'd all gone home for a holiday. That says it all about their priorities doesn't it?

Hegseth on when congressional leaders were notified about Trump's Iran strikes: "They were notified after the planes were safely out."

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Take note.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

Iran’s economy is on fire, so their plan is to light everyone else’s wallet on fire too.

“Farage backers chasing Maga donors & a Jenrick pact” The scale of its ambition & detail, has echoes of Project 2025, a 900-page policy wish list for Trump's second term drawn up by the right-wing Heritage Foundation If this doesn’t worry you shitless you’re not paying attention!

Reform MP Sarah Pochin claimed in her maiden speech to Parliament that there were a number of “illegal immigrants” in Runcorn and that HMOs are “breeding grounds for organised crime.” Halton Council say that’s simply not true! www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

Britain did not receive a U.S. request for its Diego Garcia base to be used in the U.S. strikes on Iran, but it was informed ahead of the attack, senior minister Jonathan Reynolds said on Sunday www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

Unfortunately for the G7, commitment to peace in the Middle East whilst supporting Netanyahu’s aggression… …is an intractable contradiction.

UK exports down since Brexit while imports remain steady, new logistics data shows The disparity between exports and imports levels since Brexit was clear in the latest analysis by business group Logistics UK www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/uk-expo...

🚨BREAKING: In a major escalation, Iran’s parliament approved closing the Strait of Hormuz, according to state TV. That decision will likely require approval from Iran’s top security body, the Supreme National Security Council. About 20% of global oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Who did this? 😂

The system of international law is broken. There are no more rules anymore. The question is how to survive now. A new functioning system is needed. And we need to actually survive until it appears. For Europe, this is not the time for observation. It's the time for quick actions and unity.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.
