‘Finish line in sight’ for EU-Mercosur trade deal, says Ursula von der Leyen European Commission president attends South American bloc’s summit as final details of pact are worked out

Pretty remerkable news if this comes off. Remember when leaving the EU was so that we could do better deals with economies precisely like these? ~AA

This woman’s reaction resonates with me. #bbcqt

Farage now denying that Trump was using fascistic language during his campaign. We all saw him do it. It was He also called the black husband of the woman he raped 'an ape' and got upset over Harris' ethnicity. We know what he is, and we know what Farage is #bbcqt

Having recently visited the holocaust centre in Newark, this man gives a stark warning from history, & where 1930’s style populist policies & rhetoric, inevitably lead… #bbcqt

Alastair Campbell, "I was disappointed that Keir Starmer didn't mention Brexit, because Brexit has done so much damage to our country" #BBCQT

Campbell then calls our Farage on Brexit, he squirms

Audience member: "I don't think there should be any asylum... People are making far too much of war."

Audience member next to her: 😬 ~AA #BBCQT

Big up the man in the red sweater. ❤️

“Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants and ‘illegals’ were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss’ failure of leadership.”

Alastair Campbell to Nigel Farage: “I’ll tell you what you are, you’re somebody who will exploit any problem going for your own political ends. Brexit was a fundamentally damaging thing for this country. It’s made us poorer, weaker & it’s hit our standing in the world”

Alastair Campbell roasting a rattled Nigel Farage.🔥

“You are somebody who will exploit any problem going for your own political ends. Brexit was a fundamentally damaging thing to this country. That is your one legacy and you now don’t even want to talk about it.”

“Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. They weren’t responsible for Brexit. They weren’t responsible for Liz Truss’ failure. Because of populist policies in the ‘30s Hitler was elected. If we follow the same blaming of migrants we will go the same way”

Romanian pro-EU parties unite to crowd out far-right candidate Georgescu Social Democrat Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu threw his support behind reformist Elena Lasconi for president.

Four major Romanian political parties formed a coalition on Wednesday night, vowing to keep Romania on a pro-EU and pro-NATO path👏

We’ve updated our Clacton billboard to tell voters their MP just took £40k from a US firm that advises clients how to offshore their money and pay less tax. For the full story see video below 👇

A united school of fish (in fish shape) with European stars swims above. Below there is a solitary fish with a UK flag on it. He’s facing a shark with US flag on it who says “Oh, so you’ve decided to go it alone! Very good…”

Do what you want.
I say what I see - and the sight of Starmer sprinting across the floor of the Commons to greet, shake hands and have a laugh with FAR Right Farage recently, made me want to vomit.
Contrast with his cold shoulder to Labour Leftie Abbott.
Sickening to behold.

Labour have moved so far to the Right, I hardly recognise them anymore.
Keeping the cruelest Tory Policies like the 2 Child Cap -when EVERY poverty charity has told them it is one of THE main drivers of Child Poverty, is as repugnant as it is dumb.
No wonder Reform now back them in Scotland.

Wrong.
Read the articles I sent you earlier to see how the richest ain't really being touched - THAT is where to get more revenues - and then ask yourself why Labour allowed UN-Capped Bankers Bonuses to continue, but blocked £200, once a year, for pensioners.
Two Child Cap as well.
CRAP choices.

No.
Start from the fact that UK State Pension is about the lowest/worst in the OECD and that the wealth-gap between poorest and richest in the UK is about the greatest - and then ask why it is those at the poorest end of society who are being targetted by Labour and NOT those at the richest end.

You seem to be entirely missing the point that UK state pensioners with just over a pitiful £12,000 will now be deprived of a very important sum of money this winter to keep warm.
£12,000 in anyone's terms, is "poor", so this policy IS hitting some of the poorest.
Good for Scotgovt reinstating it.

I disagree.
It is wrong to target those at the poorer end of society - and many pensioners who do not qualify for Pension Credits have incomes of just over £12,000 - when, as those articles show, there are easy targets at the rich end which would generate far more revenues.
WRONG choice.

If is simply not 'media spin' to say that any state pensioner - irrespective of other wealth or not - making over a paltry £12,000 is being hit by this.
In Scotland, that applies to hundreds of thousands of pensioners, a large proportion of whom do not have much in the way of other funds.

Labour have fallen to THIRD place below the Tories and Reform, in latest UK-WIDE poll.

WFP policy was cruel and unnecessary, hitting those pensioners on just over £12,000 a year.
Repugnant, when an alternative was available to raise far more revenue than that policy might save: not to mention the 4000 additional pensioners Labour's own research says will die in Winter because of it.

And yet listening to MSM you'd think we had the worst performing NHS in the UK instead of the best. Just think it could be even better if we had all our resources instead of having them stolen by our neighbour, time to get off our knees and take our country back.
