It's rather telling that Reform are dead set against letting 16 to 18 year olds vote. And just a reminder to 16 to 18 year olds that Labour have repeatedly said that they will not rejoin the EU, unlike Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru. It is a mystery what Zarah and Jelly will do.

It would be interesting to hear Trump fan boy Farage's view on Epstein.

Reform ... hanging up Closed signs throughout Britain.

I just want a government that gets on with the business of governing. Investment, Health, Education, Trade, International Relations. Not this interminable navel gazing about stopping the boats.

Near where I live there is a gentleman who stands in his doorway and waves to passing cars. Today I happened to be on the bus and the whole bus waved back to him.

I would tell you about what I think of Palestine Action but I fear the knock on the door. I also fear that they won't bother knocking.

Israeli military used 500lb bomb in strike on Gaza cafe, fragments reveal Exclusive: Experts say use of heavy munition in Monday’s strike that killed dozens may constitute a war crime

Anyone unable to understand why thousands of people joined Bob Vylan in chanting ‘Death, Death to the IDF’ at Glastonbury should read the article below 1/4

He did once buy me a brown ale and I regret to say that too is not enough reason.

I suppose the only valid reason for watching Rod Stewart at Glastonbury is to see the crowd's reaction as he tries to big up Farage.

Number 10 set to offer concessions to welfare rebels Exclusive: Ministers said to be considering watering down reforms, with more than 120 MPs poised to oppose bill

Screeching U-turn? How did Starmer get this so wrong?Number 10 set to offer concessions to welfare rebels. Of course if Labour were to rejoin the EU, there would be enough tax revenue to avoid shitshows like this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh yes, without the fiscal drag of the pound around our necks and the EU not hampered by special conditions for certain members preventing forward growth we will in a much better place.

We can rejoin. All we have to do to start the process is to apply.

If Labour MPs can force a U-turn on disastrous welfare cuts they can also force a U-turn on Labour's disastrous policy on EU membership.

Trump bombs a country that poses no immediate threat to the US without Congress approval or reference to the UN and all Starmer does is whine about who is on at Glastonbury. We deserve much, much better than this.

After all the gloss surrounding the reset, the dust has settled and revealed that we need Reset 2.

Who went through more drummers, the Who or Spinal Tap?

Glad to see Reform have stopped global warming in its tracks in Durham by abolishing the climate committee.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Starmer's no big deal

Labour is absolutely not trying to clean up the mess of Brexit. The UK/EU deal is of no consequence whatsoever given the colossal damage of leaving the EU.

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and/or wanting to rejoin. Every metric shows it to have caused significant damage in many areas, not just economic.

In chasing dwindling Brexit supporters Labour are haemorrhaging its traditional base.

54% of Reform voters support a closer relationship with the EU? Perhaps there is another way for Starmer to attract Reform voters?

It seems that the general desire for a change of direction , towards Europe, was there all the time .
Who’d have thought it ? 🙄

BBC … enough with
Frigging Farage . He doesn’t represent the country !

Gold Dome? He's naming it after his bloody hair.

The net result of all the gnashing of teeth and screaming by the right wing media to the modest reset Starmer announced was predictable disinterest by the public at large. They are bored with Brexit, they want to see an end to it and the UK to rejoin with as little fuss as possible.

Ah! I see what you mean.

Not sure I entirely understand your post.

Doesn't mean that Starmer shouldn't get on with it.

Over and over we hear that the right wing are gaining traction with the young. Pity the polls do not agree ...

Spot on.
Enough is enough.
