In Georgia, people now have "when they arrest me, publish this photo for reference" photos.

13+ protesters were arbitrarily arrested this evening. Iโ€™m not even sure what the โ€œformal reasonโ€ was.

It is a matter of public record that both the US election in 2016 & the French election in 2017 were subject to Russian interferenceโ€ฆGiven the evidence that has now amassed of Russian interference, it is important to establish once & for all whether Russia attempted to interfere in the EU Referendum

These e-mails are dropping like bombs, and Trump is wavering. He denies everything, but each line seems to whisper his name. His base could crumble before a judge even gets near him. The specter of Epstein follows him everywhere, and his โ€œfake newsโ€ rings like a hollow echo.

Top 10 UK Industries That Collapsed After Brexit
YouTube video by EconomyTalk Top 10 UK Industries That Collapsed After Brexit

Every poll, survey, opinion piece, research and documentary confirms the disaster that is Brexit. Immeasurable damage, economically, socially, scientifically, security, politically.
It is utter madness not to start reversing Brexit.

So long as Labour hold firm on Brexit, all their bleating about having been dealt an atrocious hand by the Tories is so much hot air.

Support for "Make Brexit Works" holes that argument below the waterline.

It is ludicrous to be contemplating tax rises, but not trying to undo Brexit.

The BBC's appalling distortion of expert opinion grossly perverted the debate about Brexit.

Brexit was not an exercise in democracy. It was an exercise in the abuse of democracy.

Farage just gave a press conference, and claimed that the red tape on businesses has risen since Brexit.

You know what? He's right. But he's wrong about the reason!

It's not because Brexit was done badly. It's because Brexit guarantees more bureaucracy because we have to duplicate EU institutions.

Starmer and Von der Leyen agree on need for rapid progress on Brexit reset deal They agreed formal talks would begin on food and drink and emissions trading deals.

Von der Leyen and Starmer had a phone call last night reaffirming their desire to begin negotiations on the SPS and ETS agreements.

A reminder that an SPS agreement will lower the cost of your weekly shop!
