There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

New YouGov poll: - 66% would support the UK having closer relationship with the EU - This includes half of both Leave (52%) and Reform UK (54%) voters - Majority (53%) support Britain rejoining the European Union - Six in ten believe Brexit has been more of a failure than a success

Given that we’re a nation of nature lovers, whose conservation charities are among the world's biggest membership organisations, Keir Starmer’s repeated attacks on voters who want to protect the living planet, calling us “time-wasting nimbys”, “blockers” and “zealots”, is frankly idiotic.

Thames Water: a water firm spending £200 million on lawyers to stop the government putting it into administration. Our bills are funding this – all so they can keep ripping us off. It's long past time for the government to step in and put Thames Water out of its misery.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

🇨🇦🇺🇦 Zelensky met with Carney! "We must put pressure on Russia, on Putin, to really conclude peace as soon as possible. Sanctions are very important. The next sanctions against Russia must be strong and include energy and the shadow fleet in order to persuade it to take real steps towards peace."

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.

Could some citizens of the USA please tell that ignorant POTUS that Putin is making a complete fool of him. He may think he is a gifted person but he is a complete ignoramus and his behaviour is prolonging the war against Ukraine. Nobel Peace Prize? He must be joking.

Another week. Another ‘crackdown’ on immigration. Because Brexit exploded it. It created labour shortages and ended our shared EU arrangements. Then all the far right uglies went to town whipping up anti-immigrant sentiment for power. Until govts are honest about this, they will continue to fail.

The government’s abject surrender in the immigration conversation will not necessarily lose them votes. But it won’t win any either because a) for good or for ill, the small boats are the really emotive issue & b) people who simply resent immigrants will always favour Farage. He’s one of their own.

China’s exports surged by 8% in April, above the consensus forecast of 2% and despite a 21% drop in sales to the US. This surge comes as China redirects more of its exports to other countries, which is likely to exacerbate concerns about the adverse implications for certain domestic industries.

Brexiters wail that any reset with the EU is a ‘Brexit betrayal’ as if that shitshow is hallowed turf. They’d also have you believe a US deal matters more. When the best we could hope for with Trump is not very much, let’s not risk progress with the EU for them. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

On the campaign trail today, Farage told a group of voters in the North that he understood the worries of the steelworkers because he used to be “in the metals business”. That would be the London Metals Exchange in the city where he worked as a commodities trader. (h/t Tom Baldwin)
