A fascinating piece by @BBCCountryfile, really bringing home the absurdity of post-Brexit red tape. The truth is that Brexit bureaucracy is suffocating the aspirations of our entrepreneurs; from our SMEs to our farmers. A thread 🧵👇

Must watch interview. Ed Davey calls for a customs union with the EU to grow the UK economy And Laura Kuenssberg ends up making the case for why the UK should be in a customs union with the EU, without realising it 🤷‍♂️ This is a gold standard interview by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 👏 Part 1 of 7

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

⚠️Warning⚠️ As I have been saying for the last few years, charter cities will devour the UK, abolish the welfare state, and destroy the environment by turning entire cities into competing feudal entities. Absolute chaos and societal breakdown will ensue. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHC2...

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

The outcome of this case will affect every one of us but is barely getting a mention in UK media. Why? Peaceful protest is a fundemental democratic right. I’ll aways defend it. The decision in @libertyhq.bsky.social’s important case is due any time now

So heartbreaking. Alaa was about to embark on a PhD when the bombing of Gaza began. Now she is living in a plastic tent with her twin daughters, Ella and Ellen, who have chronic illness. Her husband is in another camp with their 10 year-old son. They've not seen each other for three months.

Brexitwang. A total shitshow. But no… Let’s not talk about it Let’s not face up to how the Tories ballsed up an already idiotic idea Let’s not fix the ruinous consequences of turning prejudice and ignorance into policy Let’s just slide into a perma-state of resentful crappiness and ‘move on’. FFS.

UK Tory govt spent £50,000 to stop release of review into disabled man’s death. DWP wrongly stopped his benefits, leaving him with no income. He weighed 4.5 stone when body found, eight months after benefits were stopped. Govt tried to conceal murder. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK GDP for the previous quarter has been announced as 0%. Zero. Zilch. Nada. What about if we try and do some trade with our nearest neighbours? I reckon that there’s a sales market there, you know… No need to be shy… Let’s join Europe and see the benefits… Like, ASAP..! 🎅🏼
