Do you seriously think that we have the time and space to engage the whole country and all of Europe in a re-entry to the EU - there’s a literal war on !

He’s saying no such thing. He’s talking about how Trump is really changing things. And at pace. He politely caveats it with he doesn’t agree what and how, but the point about the UK wanting speedy change and not feeling like it gets it is true. Everyone is telling KS to own it. Here he is.

That’s a massive overreaction

Not for most of us it didn’t

“You can’t say anything these days”

Sigh

Rule of Law is one of our greatest soft power levers

The champion of free speech has banned the world ‘felon’

when writing about the rise of British populism it’s worth bearing in mind that voters still prefer Starmer to Farage…

….and even prefer Ed Davey to Farage

Delighted to be appointed to the soft power council

Sunak was finished the moment he appointed Braverman as H Sec ie day 1. So, the fact they’re unraveling should be no surprise when on day 1 Badenoch appointed Jenrick, Philp and Patel. I mean …. Jeez 🤦🏻🤢😷

Labour are dealing with the issues and implementing the recommendations- the issue is the foreign attack on democracy and the tacit support Reform and the Tories are giving that !

Used to collect his first editions when I was in my 20s - loved them

Only 11% of Brits have a positive view of Yaxley-Lennon-Robinson, according to Luke Tryl of More in Common. That means even 9% of the Far/Hard Right don’t like him.

2025 needs to be the year the positive narrative of the new Government emerges - along with firm and clear rebuttal of the nonsense coming out on the other place and sucked up by the main media outlets

Not sure how you equate being anti Brexit with being MORE left wing ? Corbyn and his ilk (and Billy Bragg) all Brexiteirs

Quoting the Express 🤦🏻. Desperate

The Express 🤦🏻

More appropriate for twitter than here. This is what we all want to leave behind

The idea Badenoch has five years …. 😂. She’ll do well to make another 5 months

My mate just came out with what feels like the political quote of the year: “I think you could put Jesus in Downing Street at the moment and his ratings would be shit.”

🤯

Contrast Ed Davey at PMQs - he and KS clearly trying to get some balance and respect back into politics. CL could try doing the same
