Within the space of an evening Musk has gone from (just about) an ally of Trump’s to alleging that he’s in the Epstein files and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon suggests Musk should be deported. Just another normal night in Trump’s America.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

Starmer has been in office, not even a year and has rebuilt our relationship with the EU. 👏👏👏

submitted 42 days ago • 23 comments

Starmer's EU deal is a big break in the suffocating Brexit consensus that has held Britain back for the past decade. For the first time a British government is doing things to actually undo the damage of Brexit, rather than increase it. For that alone it should be welcomed

Just like in opposition There are days when i am pulling my hair out in despair at Labour Then there are days when i think they are getting it absolutely spot on, delivering the kind of pragmatism and common sense progressive gov I voted for Today is definitely the latter

While Tories/Reform howl about the Brexit reset, just remember that Johnson’s dismal deal gave the EU favourable terms on fishing and made trading goods for us so much more difficult. So, if you want to talk ‘betrayal’, take it up with them. Most of us would rather fix the godawful mess they made.

Tediously predictable that Johnson - liar and cheat all his life - pusher of a ruinous Brexit - epic disgrace of a PM - kicked out of power by his own party - thinks he can persuade us that Trump’s grim betrayal of Ukraine is a cunning plan to punish Putin. He never tires of being a total arsehole.

Reform having only 5 MPs and still managing to tear themselves apart bodes well for how they would govern a nation of 68m people.

So, according to the grifting gobshite, Farage… Ukraine is corrupt, the Nazi salutes weren’t Nazi salutes and Zelensky was disrespectful to Trump for not wearing a suit… God knows why he’s given the time of day any more. Boot this trash off the airwaves. And out of our public life for good.

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.
