Social media curfews & as the necessity of major military coooperation across Europe becomes ever more obvious, why on earth were Brexiters so spooked by the prospect of a European army? (Unless they were shilling for Putin all along, obvs.) tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Farage: "7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts". Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born. The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.

Can this law be invoked retrospectively? Water bosses should be jailed now for past pollution crimes, and water companies compulsorily nationalised. Shareholders not compensated, either, as they've been complicit in the destruction of our waters.

NEW: Donald Trump could be invited to address Parliament during his state visit in the Autumn. It’s one thing to invite Trump to the UK in hopes of smoothing over tariffs and Ukraine diplomacy, but it’s another to give him the platform to speak in the heart of our democracy.

Labour could have made the Youth Mobility scheme a positive. Instead they opposed it and now must frame it as a defeat, despite knowing all the time they'd have to accept something like it.

If we’d been told Brexit would cost a divorce fee of £40bn, a further £100bn a year, kill small exporting businesses, increase immigration, lower food standards & deny people access to the latest cancer drugs, no one would have voted for it. It simply can not be defended and must be reversed.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

The Labour Government insist they're carrying out the will of the people because of their manifesto. It's complete nonsense. People voted to get the Tories out, not because of Starmer's non-inspirational manifesto. There's only one way to prove that. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Tory legacy. In England 48,830 A&E patients waited 24 hours or more for a hospital bed, 33,413 aged 65 or over. Some went 10 days to get bed in a ward. People deserve care and dignity. Must expand NHS capacity. Privatisation won't. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profit, money buys less.
