Finally Starmer is ready to offer a reciprocal Youth Mobility Scheme to the EU, addressing labour shortages and opportunities: a win-win for both the UK and the EU. No one born this century voted for #Brexit. eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work @bestforbritain.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

A brilliant analysis of the epic Brexit failure. Scorn for the liars and solidarity for the rest of us. “We lost something intangible and yet priceless, something we might never get back: an idea of our country.” Heartbreaking, enraging and yet, still hopeful. iandunt.substack.com/p/brexit-fiv...

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet. Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.

🚨 "With Trump threatening new tariffs as soon as this week, the government should listen to voters and break down trade barriers with our largest market before pursuing deals elsewhere." @pimlicat.bsky.social on our new polling in the Observer 👇

“Brexit continues to haunt us. It’s posing real economic problems. The govt doesn’t like the equilibrium we’ve reached but is unwilling to do much about it…the EU feels little pressure to change the status quo” What a tedious, costly, bandwidth-consuming mess. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is a feral menace threatening our trade, our security and our democracy. To NOT prioritise trade and improved relations with our own continent over trying to deal with that loose cannon would be completely mad. Luckily most of us aren’t. Even in Clacton. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Two polls show Brexit and threat of Trump are transforming Britons, drawing them closer to Europe and away from USA. These findings make it even more absurd that Labour govt desperate for growth remains so reluctant to take up offers to alleviate Brexit difficulties. archive.ph/2025.01.25-0...

As Labour timidly considers this tiny step towards damage control… Brexit’s moronic mascot, Priti Patel, declares “Starmer and his chums are all too happy to put their ideology ahead of our national interest, no matter the cost." And irony collapses in on itself. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/uk-...

You might expect that one of the world's biggest media organisations admitting to illegal practices in accessing private information about a member of the royal family and a government minister would be front page news across the board, but apparently not.

How evil/moronic do you have to be, to think binning the Equality Act would raise productivity, restore confidence and create meritocratic workplaces? How TF could scrapping people’s rights to NOT be discriminated against, harassed or victimised at work be IN ANY WAY a good thing? It simply can’t.

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER

“The report said UK trade policy had been “muddled” and “rudderless” since the 2016 Brexit vote, adding that since leaving the EU single market and customs union, efforts to strike mini-deals with non-EU countries had run their course” Brexit - so tediously crap. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Poverty takes toll. Britons turn to crowdfunding to meet funeral bills. Average funeral costs £9,797. Profiteering is rife. Cash-strapped families borrow, sell possessions, crowdfund to pay for funeral. Cruelty of capitalism - from cradle to the grave. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him. For love of god, England, work it out… (Private Eye)
