Yep, Edi’s analysis is correct. Kick populism & xenophobia out, and let’s rejoin the EU. Brexit is a dismal failure, weighing on our economy, politics and social fabric.

Millions across all 50 US states march in No Kings protests against Trump Crowds of Americans, many in costumes, aligned behind message that US is sliding into authoritarianism

Bravo! For resisting on behalf of democracy, freedom, the rule of law, and your republic’s constitution.

In the UK we need to remember those behind Trump are financing the far right here in an attempt to bring in a similar regime at our next election.

Get Keir to COP The UK can’t sit out the world’s biggest climate talks — tell Keir Starmer to show up and take action at COP30.

I just found out Keir Starmer has no plans to attend COP30, the world’s biggest climate talks.

This is at a time when families across the UK are paying the price of climate chaos facing flooded homes, rising food prices, and climbing insurance costs.

Protect Cash ISAs Rumours started swirling that Rachel Reeves might slash the tax-free cap on Cash ISAs from £20,000 to £4,000 after meeting with a group of bank executives back in February. [1] Now it looks like those...

Rachel Reeves could slash the Cash ISA limit to £4K — a win for hedge funds, a loss for the rest of us 💸 Even the banks are against it. Tell the govt to protect savers, not risky investments! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

They don’t seem to be listen to anything we don’t want ..

Yep …..

UK media found a story they could run with. Paracetamol…
The obvious thing to do was ask Nigel Farage, since he must be given 460 hours of broadcast time every week.
“We thought thalidomide was safe, didn’t we,” he mused. He had “no idea” whether paracetamol caused autism.

Andy Burnham, the man who would be king The Greater Manchester mayor has made no secret of his Labour leadership ambitions, but faces significant obstacles

“If Andy ever did decide to come back down, he would have the incentive to change that, to change the whole way politics is delivered in this country. That’s a big decision for him given where he currently is.”

We need you.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Phillipson and Powell confirmed as final contenders in Labour deputy race Education secretary and Manchester MP are only candidates to clear threshold to enter party members’ ballot

Starmer’s blown it. Can’t wait for next week’s national humiliation as he fawns over an adjudicated rapist, fraudster and proto-fascist.

Let’s get Lucy Powell in as Deputy and replace Starmer with Andy Burnham before it’s too late.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

The gReAT pAt-RiOt - earned over £400k from GB News alone

“The use of personal service companies is not illegal, but it has been criticised across the political spectrum as a way to reduce tax bills. Farage has declined to publish his tax returns for 2023/24”

Wealth tax needed to help working people and avoid threat from Reform, says union chief Exclusive: Paul Novak says Rachel Reeves should ‘stay the course’ on plans for investment

Redistribute now.

“wealth taxes could raise an extra £36bn a year, while a gambling tax could bring in £3bn more and a bank surcharge could raise between £20bn and £50bn over the next four years depending on the level it was set at, between 16% and 35%.

Sánchez: Europe’s response to war in Gaza has been a ‘failure’ Spanish prime minister says double standards over Gaza and Ukraine threaten to undermine the west’s global standing

Here’s a vision Starmer can adopt as he’s struggling to create one.

“we need to reinforce our commitment when it comes to the green pact. It means that we need to have a humanitarian and moral vision – and also a pragmatic one – when it comes to migration.”

Kick Big Oil Out of Plastics Talks Fossil fuel companies want to keep flooding our home with plastic for profit. They’re trying to block action to tackle plastic pollution - we must stop them.

I just signed a petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. act.gp/3YxOUXa

‘Put them up anywhere’: Cooper backs St George’s flags as No 10 says asylum seekers could be housed in industrial buildings – UK politics live Home secretary earlier suggested warehouses could be used instead of hotels, while PM will urge ministers to go ‘further and faster’ on immigration in Tuesday meeting

The UK Govt has lost the plot completely. Leaning into Faragism really won’t keep the majority of the British people onside.

You’re circling the plug hole after only a year or so.

Get a grip.

Greetings from our small little town called Sequim in Washington state. We have a message to share with you all...

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Peak rail fares have now been scrapped across Scotland's rail network"

"it is to encourage people to switch from cars to trains"

Why isn't this happening across England and Wales too?

There’s an obvious way to challenge Nigel Farage. But Keir Starmer won’t do it | Rafael Behr Labour’s reluctance to name Brexit as the cause of so many problems hasn’t stopped Reform’s rise. It’s time to try the truth, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Starmer needs to find the courage, soon.

“His probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit. Enough people already know this is the truth, but it would be liberating to hear it from the prime minister”

It's time to make them pay Call on Keir Starmer to make the super-rich and polluting corporations – not ordinary people – pay for the costs of phasing out fossil fuels and building a better, fairer society.

It sounds like they were really close, but couldn't quite get over a minor technical disagreement regarding whether Ukraine should be an independent sovereign country or an oblast of Russia.

‘These People Can’t Stand What London Represents… It Makes a Mockery of their Entire Worldview’ Sadiq Khan, the Labour Mayor of London, addresses the increasing number of claims by those in the media and politics of the capital city’s apparent decline

London is the greatest city in the world to live, work and study.

I wrote for @bylinetimes.bsky.social on why the city millions of us know and love is far from the bleak picture some are trying to paint:

David Lammy protesting Trump in 2018,

"We are standing in solidarity with many Americans and communicating our huge disapproval with him"

“I think Theresa May has been terribly humiliated today. She looks like an appeaser"

“Trump should not be meeting our great monarch, he doesn't deserve it"

He’s doing it again.

Cosplaying Reform is a validation of Reform.
