Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Europe is on the rise. Out of necessity - for our defence, our values, our quality of life, responsibility, humanity and just decency. Putin & Trump are waking a sleeping giant. We didn’t forge a better European way of being after WWII for nothing. We remember. And we’re not going back.

The @BBCnews seems to have finally realised what those of us who aren't well-paid, experienced journalists knew years ago that Trump is a traitor, unhinged and dangerous. Sadly you normalised him throughout the election and now it is too f**kin late.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Could someone show this to our government? Rather than trumpeting the Farage/Jenrick rhetoric maybe we should explore genuine ways to grow our economy.

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...

The Guardian: Scotland knows Brexit is holding Britain back. Why won't Labour admit it? | John Swinney www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is approaching 5 years since the UK officially left the EU. And what do we have to show for it? The Tories admit that they took the UK out of the EU without a plan for growth, and the consequences are clear: the cost of living is soaring, public services are on their knees...

It is astonishing that a former UK Prime Minister - and Global Britain bloviator - can celebrate a US President making a speech basically saying "we don't care about the rest of the world."

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”. They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security… for ANYTHING… A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.

Dropping red lines to get a deal with the EU will boost confidence in jittery Britain “It’s time to stand up to those who still claim exiting the EU was a good idea – and those eye-rolling because they fear “Get Brexit Done” remains politically immovable” 👏 inews.co.uk/opinion/stel...

I’ve been investigating child sexual exploitation for 12 years, and commissioned other journalists to do so, while Laurence Fox was swanning around on TV and stage. He doesn’t care about victims. He’s exploiting CSE for his own daft ends

Kemi Badenoch’s Refusal to Distance Herself From Elon Musk is an Act of Moral Cowardice. Yes, & also a sign that the Tories have learned none of the lessons of the 1930s, when German conservatives made a catastrophic accommodation with #fascism. bylinetimes.com/2025/01/06/k...

No, Kemi Badenoch. Tough conversations are the ones that call out racism. That’s what takes moral courage. Failing to do so is the most cowardly lie of all. It’s pretending that prejudice is legitimate. The only difficult truth the Tory party needs to confront is just how immoral it’s become.

“I’m prepared to call out this for what it is. We’ve seen this playbook many times…when the poison of the far right leads to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others than in my book a line has been crossed” Prime minister Keir Starmer

More right wing propaganda from #GMB. Lead question to health minister about Farage's call for enquiry into grooming gangs. Finish with call for GE petition. I might remind them that 6 million signed the 2nd referendum petition and it was ignored.

How hard would it have been for BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg to bring up this front page when Nigel Farage complained during his interview with her today that economically “we are getting poorer”

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters do not think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

When you break from the herd, as we did with Brexit, you become vulnerable. It’s no surprise that Musk has targeted us as a punch bag. Or that the vicious clowns who fetishised ‘sovereignty’ and ‘control’ are brown-nosing him now. ‘Make Britain great again’. Christ, you stupid traitorous bastards.

Good on you #ITVNews for giving Elon Musk a huge platform to interfere in UK politics. That story did not need to be given prime time airing tonight. In particular billed as a criticism of Keir Starmer. We need to start criticising this stuff not legitimising it.
