highlighted text from linked article. There is plenty of buyer’s remorse. Polling in January, to mark the fifth anniversary of the UK’s departure from the EU, found that “fewer than half of those who voted to exit the EU in 2016 can point to a positive outcome in any area”. And yet, who is the rising figure in English politics? The man who did more than anyone else to make Brexit happen: Nigel Farage.
Fintan O Toole's missive in todays Irish Times is well worth a read, I hope it gets licensed to english newspapers.
He discusses the buyers remorse over brexit: yet the rise in support for farage.

I would rather post my cartoons and drawings without a link to my website, but unfortunately social media is an important element of our business, so I have to do it. I do appreciate the reposts and thank you for the support since I came to Bluesky.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.
This as not simply populism, it's an extreme assault on public institutions and structures. The last week has been about the BBC, but comes alongside mounting attacks on judicial independence/the European Court of Human Rights. Treating each issue in isolation will see them killed off one by one.

Remembrance of Things Pasta She blew her fusilli, my pretty penne, when she found me watching daytime tagliatelle. Je ne spaghetti rien, I responded in song, but she did not linguini for long, just walked out without further retort: a hard lesson to be tortellini, orzo I thought. And so here I am, on my macaroni, and now my days feel cannelloni. Brian Bilston
Happy World Pasta Day to all those who celebrate.
