You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Brexit border delays left the UK's leading berry farmer with no choice but to let 300 tonnes of strawberries bound for Europe rot last summer. "There was a market for them, but we couldn't get the fruit there quickly enough because of paperwork & delays."

Douglas Alexander, "Regrettably the data is devastating in terms of the damage that was done by the way Brexit was implemented by our predecessors" Sigh, every version of Brexit is a barrier between the UK and the EU, and therefor devastating 🤦‍♂️

Farage says Andrew Tate is an ‘important voice’ for men. Tate is awaiting trial for rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. It seems that there is something deeply creepy about Farage that hasn't been made public. Fight Fascism #Vote4Democracy

The Government have made a massive U-turn. Today, the Business and Trade Secretary confirmed to me that, despite Labour’s previous calls for proper scrutiny in Parliament on trade agreements, MPs would not be allowed a vote on any US trade deal.

I held my nose and voted for the Lib Dems to try and throttle the Tories and Reform. For some of you, that will mean holding your nose and voting for Labour. No great options at the moment. What a sad time for us. #localelections

If you are voting in the local elections today, do remember there is a free IQ test too. Simply enter the voting booth and if you find yourself voting Reform, you'll know you're a thick twat.

When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

Here's something I wrote trying to explain why Brexit still isn't 'done' and the true implications of leaving the SM/CU. I had help from an expert kind enough to explain things properly to me. It's something I'm hoping to do a lot more with, and hope it's useful. centralbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

These people are even more stupid than you can imagine. An 8yo could work out 22m pills are not going to be taken by 119m people, and even if they were it's unlikely to prove fatal. Is she really so stupid, she believes 40% of the population of the US would have died in 3 months? God help America.

Blue Labour is functionally de-growth in substance - hostile to the few clear avenues to growth that the UK has and tied to the same mercantilist fallacies currently driving economic damage in the US.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Trump ‘makes trade deal with UK second-order priority’ in blow to ministers. When will Starmer stop injecting the Brexit drug and grasp that Europe is our friend, not Trump's fascist America? A big vote for the LibDems and Greens should help him detox. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Far from simply being a beneficiary of short-term frustrations, Reform is capitalising on years of deep-rooted anger… about what millions of people see as the long slide of national decline” Decline that Farage helped cause. Anger that’s made him a fortune. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/366...

Nigel Farage is more interested in promoting Donald Trump than fixing the issues facing our communities, and the Conservatives have turned their back on ordinary people to chase Farage’s tail. This election is your chance to elect a strong, local champion, who will fight for a fair deal.

Mark Carney is asked how the lessons of Brexit apply to Trump's tariff policy. "When you break off or substantially rupture trade relations with major trading partners... you end up with slower growth, higher inflation, higher interest rates, volatility, a lower currency, a weaker economy." ~AA

This is entirely right. Leavers got what they wanted because they backed up their opinions with votes. We Rejoiners have to do the same or Starmer will quite reasonably ignore us.
