💯 agree with Andrew Adonis “It is stark staring obvious what Britain should do in response to Trump’s tariff madness and wider economic sabotage. Get back into the EU as fast as possible. Then join EU single currency and intensify EU economic and security integration as a matter of urgency.”

Brexit leaves farmers hanging in the balance. "Farage’s recent declaration Britain should be open to chlorine-washed American chicken & hormone-fed beef sparked fury in the industry. Kemi Badenoch added to their fears on Tuesday, saying fears about US agricultural standards are based on “a myth”.

Well said 👏 @stephengethins 💯 spot on! “When govt is cutting budgets that will hit poorest in the UK with benefits cuts – and the most vulnerable in world with aid cuts – it is obscene that it continues to pursue an expensive and unnecessary hard Tory Brexit www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

EUROPE NEEDS TO LEAD THE WAY! Europe is under serious threat. Britain needs to be at the heart of Europe. Europe needs us, we need Europe. Putin backed Brexit because it undermined the EU and weakened Europe. BREXIT NEEDS TO BE UNDONE NOW!

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

The 4 key questions are: 1) Since Brexit, is the UK irrelevant? 2) is the rest of the West (EU, Canada, Australia etc) the bad guys? 3) Is Ukraine being thrown under a bus? 4) Is USA abandoning NATO?

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Hitler started by demonising sections of the population & pointed the finger of blame for Germany’s woes on these groups. He then started laying claim to foreign territories. Are there parallels with the USA now?

After a hesitant toe in the water, Ed Davey is becoming bolder on Europe. It doesn’t matter whether this is part of a strategy, or he was flushed out by media interest & has realised it’s a way of getting his face on TV more Which let’s face it should be the case with 12x more MPs than Reform UK

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.
