'The tide is turning on Europe' - Heseltine makes landmark speech Lord Heseltine spoke to a full house at European Movement UK’s event at Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. Here is his speech in full.

At Conservative Party Conference, Lord Heseltine said most voters now see Brexit as a mistake and urged Conservatives to rebuild ties with Europe and reject Farage’s populism.

Read the full speech:

The numbers are clear. Most Britons now believe leaving Europe was a mistake. The next generation knows our future lies in cooperation, not isolation.

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

"The latest polls tells us 56% now believe it was mistake to leave the European Union"

Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

Thank you, we need many more to stand up and be counted. I'll be there on Saturday too.

Well said, Gary Neville! 👏

Reform's Russian 'asset' - the Kremlin shadow over Nigel Farage | Searchlight Nathan Gill - Russian asset On 26 September, former Welsh Brexit Party MEP and Reform UK official Nathan Gill pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to eight coun ...

“This is most definitely not a fringe political scandal. It is a direct admission that Russian-aligned money penetrated Farage’s immediate orbit during a pivotal chapter in Brexit.”

Britain's Jewish leaders slam Israel over 'thug' Tommy Robinson invite | LBC Leaders of Britain’s Jewish community have criticised an Israeli minister for inviting “thug” Tommy Robinson to visit the country.

I'm pleased to see representatives of the UK jewish community as horrified as I am by the invite of an Israeli minister to Tommy Robinson. But the majority of the debate around us speaks of other people with their own agendas. www.lbc.co.uk/article/jewi...

History repeats. That’s why in Europe we have the ECHR. 🇪🇺

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

Jane Goodall said she’d like to send off to another planet: Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi & Netanyahu. 🚀

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

It's like you said on another post Pilar, "hold my beer" politics. Is there something at the Home Office that make Home Secs desperate to be seen as tough and authoritarian?

Key progressive freedoms were won by the ‘cumulative impact’ of lobbying, and protest was a massive part of that to get the ear of politicians and public. This is a mistake. We will just be left with unbalanced unchallenged extremists spreading lies on digital platforms with no way to counter!

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 4 October 2025. Jas Olak, Vice Chair of Leeds for Europe, highlights an example of a firm from Yorkshire setting up a warehouse in the Netherlands. Many companies have moved production or warehousing to EU countries as a consequence of Brexit trade barriers.

Michelle Mone told us ‘business isn’t easy’ during Covid. How are things now, your ladyship? | Marina Hyde After a company she was linked to was ordered to repay £122m it made from pandemic deals, the baroness has embarked on a masterclass in victimhood, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

"The people who jostled their way into this lane for a grotesquely outsize cash bonanza and then boasted about helping the nation were profiteering, plain and simple."

Brilliantly & appropriately savage from the peerless Marina Hyde 💥

I’d like to see a journalist ask the following questions to Nigel Farage.

Who funded your house purchase in Clacton?
How deep did Russian money reach in Reform?
Why are the majority of Reform donors tax exiles?
Did you know that the leader of Reform in Wales was taking bribes from Russia?

The constant drip drip of opinion pieces on how Reform will win an election that’s years away is getting a tiresome

What we aren’t seeing is the media asking the serious questions?

Who funded the purchase in Clacton?
How deep did Russian bribery go?
Why our so many Reform donors tax exile’s?

Above letter describes recent far-right London ‘Tommy Robinson’ protest as “worst in a decade”. “We all have right to freedom of speech - #Brexit’s only brought division & hatred”.

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 3 October 2025. The writer pushes about against the suggestion that supporters of rejoining the European Union are to blame for disruption in British politics.

Blaming ‘Remainers’ for disrupting politics ignores #Brexit division, Covid chaos & far-right threats, says @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter. We need to defend democracy, justice & peace “…& build new relationship with #EU”.

DEEP DIVE: How Does Reform Show Its Racism? Let Me Count the Ways From “target practice” on refugees to burqa bans in Parliament, the tally tells the story better than Farage ever could.

Calling Reform racist isn’t slander.

It’s maths.

20 incidents. 18 months. 1 Farage in a permanent huff.

Every newsroom should have an immigration correspondent.

I am aware of that, I'm also aware that humans can reach breaking point, agree, everyone needs to stand up, enough is enough.

Absolutely, they were exactly the type I was thinking of.

Seems like all the good ones, the truly remarkable humans, are going and we are left with some throwback freaks who want to burn everything to the ground. So sad.

Wtf?! It's open game if they don't identify themselves, I'm surprised the VET didn't do them some harm. So terrifying, and Reform would bring this to our streets given half a chance.

Reform losing their shit over being told their policies are racist, so maybe they are too.
What are you then?
Cos ‘legitimate concerns’ don’t stretch to violent threats against immigrants, mass deportations or demanding British people be white.
You’re whiny racists. Don’t blame us for your shame.

That takes some doing, for a racist grifter like Farage.

PPE Medpro must repay £122m for breach of contract | Good Law Project The company Michelle Mone landed on the Tories’ unlawful VIP Lane has 14 days to repay £122m for gowns supplied during the pandemic and never used.

Sickens me, the lack of humanity. Sometimes I think these people have a missing gene along the line.

When Jo Cox was murdered all sides agreed to suspend campaigning, out of respect, for a couple of days. This suspension was not respected by UKIP campaigners in our area.
