Do Brexiters EVER ask themselves how proud, independent countries like Poland and Ireland can be both independent AND prosperous inside the European Union?

Subsequent to Robert Jenrick cosplaying Alan Partridge and attempting to citizen's arrest fare-dodgers earlier, it turns out he was breaking TFL rules himself. He can add that to his ticket for doing 68mph in a 40mph, and expediting Richard Desmond's planning decisions. @henryriley1.bsky.social

“The Liz Truss budget was the best since 1986” - #NigelFarage. Farage is a gambler. Given the chance he will gamble with your mortgages & your jobs And just like #LizTruss did - he will lose. Costing us all. He won't bet on working people - he will bet against them.

🧵 Andrew Bailey is right ✅ we must reverse Brexit damage! Brexit has clearly damaged UK growth by raising trade barriers which hurt productivity and delivered 4% hit to GDP. UK-EU reset on food checks and energy are welcome but more is needed to minimise damage. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Healthy but tired cynicism being expressed in this letter (to the i Paper). We’re all so bloody sick of the failure… of being lied to like this… of politics for simpletons who think the stuff they don’t like can be swept away with a magic wand and who have no clue how a country works.. or doesn’t.

Farage claims ending our net zero ambition will save £225 billion! He doesn’t say how. During the Brexit campaign Farage claimed we’d be £34 million a day better off. That turned out to be a fantasy, this will too. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

My suspicion is that the more people see / hear of Farage the less they’re going to like him. So that for me both sets an upper limit on Reform polling (sort of where we are) and presents the possibility of their polling going a little in reverse.

Nigel Farage wants attention for saying he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Farage claimed in his speech today that he would raise £65 billion by cutting climate policies, DEI schemes, and ‘Quangos’. He’s not running a serious operation and every political journalist in the country has a public duty to shout that from the rooftops
