The utter hypocrisy of Jenrick et al on this is fathomless

Sunday Times cover saying new poll shows only 29% would vote for Brexit now.

And expect that number to shrink further.

No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…”

People know Brexit doesn’t.

Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.

Love the light here

NEW: Landmark decision on UK's failure to investigate Russian interference to be handed down tomorrow.

A five-year legal battle in UK and European courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the Kremlin & the Brexit vote?

Wild times: There’s a fake AI generated accident report for Air India 171 claiming an aircraft fault brought down the flight. Multiple factual inaccuracies give it away, but could look very convincing to the untrained eye.

There'll be lots of chats this week about how much the public want control of immigration, reduced numbers and integration. Fine. I don't think progressives have ever had the luxury of being blind to that. But that is not what this is about.

Whoever did the music for Luther was great. Palaces of Montezuma by Grinderman was also great

Oxygen Tent, by Joe Adhemar from the album Two Magpie Day

“The ambivalent masses that turn their blind eye to the hatred.
Hoping the Jack boots that kick down the doors pass on by.
Read all the history how immunity disappears so quickly.
Safety in numbers for the lemmings that think they can fly”

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

Killing off the university sector once and for all for a politcal battleground which Labour will never win… instead of reclassifying the immigration statistics as we always should have to reflect the fact the vast majority of foreign students leave the UK.

Stupid. Unserious. Utterly self-defeating.

Given that just 4.25% of the world's population lives in the United States of America this might be the moment for the 95.75% of the rest of us to leave them to it.

Many overseas markets that the UK could be focusing on for example - you know like the fucking enormous one on our doorstep.

Putin comes against Le Pen ruling. Authoritarians hates any possibility of legal restraint on their leadership. Trump will doubtless do the same. Journalists do not have to follow this framing. There is zero reason for them to start a report by questioning whether the ruling is democratic.
