๐๐ฝ"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."๐๐ฝ

I sold a car to a neighbour and went with him to a local insurance agent. We are the same age, had been driving the same number of years and both had a full no-claims bonus. The company - who had insured the car for several years - gave him a quote for far less than my premium ๐ก

Conservatives Promote JCB's 'Revolutionary' Pothole Machine While Taking Millions of Pounds in Donations from the Company
Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs
Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".
He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Our economic woes are caused by Brexit, (Ukraine), Covid, Brexitโs ugly baby - our dismal immigration policy, Truss budget, 14yrs of austerityโฆ
All rightwing policies.
Quite mad that our media acts as if Labourโs budget is the end of days, when they failed to adequately scrutinise any of
that๐shit.

Our media has become the story. What they decide is newsworthy, what they scream about, who they accuse, who they excuse, who they blameโฆ
They have an agenda entirely of their own. Not one rooted in public interest or national responsibility. But one that is deeply rightwing and undemocratic.

Not the Brexit deal.
Brexit.
A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until weโre brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Nigel Farage has spent ยฃ1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

It is good to see cross-party challenge to overt racism in British political and media discourse: Labour MP Sarah Owen, who chairs the women & equalities select committee, challenges the racist claim from GB News contributor Lucy White that Deputy Speaker Nus Ghani should be barred from parliament

Also, nobody would have "full freedom of movement" because they won't have the right to live and work in EU27 as EU citizens do. Technically, like UK citizens resident in an EU country, they shouldn't spend more than 90/180 days elsewhere in Schengen, but it would be tricky to detect overstayers.

Picture of Nathan Gill arriving at court. Headline: Reform UK and Russian Bribes. A Nathan Gill Timeline.
NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farageโs claim Gill was โone bad appleโ๐งต
