2% tax on assets worth over £10m would raise £24bn/year. Starmer's welfare cuts will only save £5bn/year. Instead of making the poorest and most vulnerable pay for years of austerity, it's time to introduce a wealth tax.

A Reform MP lying about crime, ‘othering’ people again with no evidence. Dan Price, Cheshire Police & Crime Commissioner, also claims he has never been approached by Ms Pochin. He said: "I simply don’t recognise the picture that Sarah Pochin tries to paint of Runcorn – it’s not based on reality.

Excoriating. And absolutely 100% right. “Labour’s oh-so-clever strategists are moronically giftwrapping the country for Nigel Farage.”🔥 But we have time to create the alternative now by acting strategically in our constituencies to back the alternatives we have.

Well worth reading. I have cropped the screenshot and brightened it a bit to make it slightly easier to read. Yes. The “reset” (if fully realised) has just taken the edges off Johnson’s bad deal. Yes. We are putting ourselves in danger being so tied to the US star.

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.

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 coverage of this EU deal acts like the last five years haven't happened. Polls now show overwhelming support for a closer relationship with the EU, with even Reform voters backing things like the youth mobility scheme, and yet the coverage is still being framed about "betrayals" of Brexit

We have a chance to improve our relationship + trading terms with the EU, give musicians + young people more freedom and make travel easier… And Brexiters are howling about betrayal, fish, ‘holding all the cards’ and immigration. Same lies. Same prejudice. And same failure if we don’t ignore them.
