Labour are insane. 82% of their GE 2024 voters want to rejoin the EU. Only 12% of those who voted Labour in 2024 are opposed to the idea. (YouGov) In fact, 2024 Labour voters are even more keen than 2024 LibDem voters to rejoin the EU! (Maybe because loads of LibDems lent them votes in 2024?)

If the 48% of MPs who voted against the Bill today don't want an assisted death, they can choose not to have an assisted death. Unlike the 48% of us who, 9 years ago almost to the day, voted to remain in the EU, are stuck with the wound inflicted on us by the 52%.

In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a “palantir” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality. Palantir Technologies bears a striking similarity. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit. Do join us…

Forget Reform and Tory voters. A lost cause. With them out of the picture, look at those massive ratios in favour of rejoining the EU. Low hanging electoral fruit? It's lying on the ground! All it takes is the vision to seize it. ygo-assets-websites-editorial-emea.yougov.net/documents/In...

🚨🚨 Whilst the EU-UK deal was a clear improvement and win for Starmer, we should not forget that it does not change the major premises of relationship which is enshrined in the TCA and that #brexit still is a long and dragging beast of misery and pain. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/brit...

This was also good burn 🔥 Labour MP Adam Thompson: What is this govt doing to help people improve their maths skills as I came across an awful case of a 61 year old man (Farage) who believed he had counted up £7b of govt spending, when there was really only really £27m. He evidently can't add up? 😂

A couple nuances on this: 1. The projected yield losses are in relation to future baseline yields, in other words, in relation to the (higher) yields we would likely see in the absence of climate change. So cutting in half not relative to current yields but tomorrow's future higher yields.

‘How leaving the EU led to more migration’….not to mention weaker economy, fewer rights and freedoms, lost opportunities and divided families. Brexit was, is and always will be an utter shit show. I will not vote for any party that continues with it. www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en...
