Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

This was discussed and no, he can’t veto.

PS. Euractiv does a little of clickbait unfortunately

Just thinking also about yesterday's "deliverism" conversation - in Brussels Labour is walking the walk a bit, but not talking the talk very much, and that combination isn't quite working.

MPs say Starmer’s UK-EU reset lacks ‘direction, definition and drive’ Foreign affairs committee report finds summit improved political relationship but efforts lack ‘strategic priorities’

Based on conversations yesterday in Brussels, a UK government with a limited EU agenda meeting an EU in suspicious protective mode is not a good mix not least given all the history. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”.

Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US...

But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?

President Macron, "The United States of America and Israel decided to launch military operations (against Iran)"

"They were conducted outside international law, which we cannot approve of"

Fine, but Labour have no plans to substantially "break down trade barriers" with the EU. Perhaps because they judge that to be politically impossible but, if so, that needs to be said. Otherwise, we just continue the endless dishonesty which has characterized Brexit.

Particularly baffling when one of the countries involved is led by a guy who is wanted for war crimes and the other is a felon.

Incredible how good people are finding this funny.

In the end was just Israeli mistake in acquiring the target as the building was empty.

Thank God it wasn’t a school like the other day when the US - Israel coalition killed 150 children.

France’s response to US lack of leadership is to show leadership.

Considering the oil and gas crisis Trump created, maybe it is a smart idea to rely on windmills.

I don’t know about this.

I think it’s a war crime.

Imagine bombing the conclave of cardinals in Rome when electing a new Pope.

I think Western media does report on such sources, but they need to double check - which is not easy - to ensure genuine reporting and not propaganda.

Why isn’t Iran giving freedoms to their people?

A new, much bigger, refugee crisis is unfolding.

As per the previous wars, the far right is bombing innocent people and then they demand we get rid of our “woke” humanity and expelling them to face death.

This world is sick.

So if you‘re there get out.

But can our schools and our NHS cope with this wave of immigration??

Iran doesn’t allow independent journalists in the country and they arrest those who make it.

So that’s that as well.

I don’t agree with the first statement.

And on the second, I think everyone is questioning Trump oh what is the plan now.

Had it not been for Brexit, this would probably have been a conversation involving the UK. We warned the Govt about it at the time. Isolation --> Irrelevance.

Well, these are then war crimes.

What Iran needs now is not a supreme leader, but an operational guy who manages to keep the state institutions afloat, electricity on and food flows normal.

I‘ve read somewhere that he’s the guy who was running and is running things.

Did they get him?

but these are not just their political leaders, they are also religious figures.

Bombing them is sick, done by very sick people.

Imagine someone bombing the conclave in Rome killing all cardinals gathered there to elect a new pope.

Or killing dozens of Rabbis when they elect a new chief.

Maybe this seems smart.

But the members of this Assembly are also religious figures.

Imagine bombing the conclave in Rome when they are due to elect a new Pope.
