I’m from the UK and took an interest in politics after the 2016 referendum. Brexit has not worked and now there is Trump again. I’m a 75 year old Granny who likes gardening and history especially the Tudors. I’m enjoying Blue Sky.

If you're left leaning and haven't really considered the Green party before, there's some serious momentum behind them right now. They could actually make a difference. I became a member about a year ago.
Think about it, at least
I can’t remember whether our right-wing media was completely detached from reality before Brexit; Gove’s anti-expert rhetoric; Johnson’s blatant lies etc etc. I fondly imagine things were never this bad…

A #Brexit hard core may never change its mind about #EU membership, says this Hull Daily Mail letter. But despite the #BrexitShambles, support keeps growing for #SingleMarket access - and maybe even #RejoinEU.
The tide has clearly turned.

Vet prices.
If you are a pet owner, or someone who regularly listens to phone-in radio, you are likely aware of the shocking stories of just how much some people feel forced into paying vets to treat their pets.
A major report into veterinarian businesses and prices is published today...

Rather than "slowly undoing some of that damage" the government’s response should be to move ambitiously to rapidly undo ALL of the Brexit damage.
#Brexit has failed.
It's time to prepare and plan seriously to rejoin the EU.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."
