💥 NEW: Labour voters are *84%* for a youth mobility scheme...

...with only 6% against.

What's to lose?

In fact, they might even gain some of those 59% of Conservatives and 34% of Reform that support it too.

🔥 This is an absolutely devastating set of figures on the UK public's view of Brexit.

Absolutely damning. Look at each category one by one - particularly the economic ones. YouGov article on these data here. 👉 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

That law should never have been passed and should be repealed ASAP
People shouldn’t be arrested for planning to potentially protest peacefully

Mad of Govt to reject joining the pan-European Customs Scheme (EU+Israel+Morocco+Turkey).

I'm starting to believe this govt is lying when it says it wants growth, because when it comes to the EU, it behaves in a way that is anti-growth.

The #Brexit elephant is still very much in the cabinet room.

It was a realpolitik as well as an excellent opportunity to hear about the rationale and the direction of travel for The European Movement which is the main UK campaign group in favour of closer ties with EU organisation. We could also ask questions after.

How Reform has 75K more members beats me

Folks forgot about this with all the focus on TikTok, but Meta/Facebook was selling your data to China for years.

And do you really think they were the only ones?

Talk to your kids—especially your teen and preteen sons.

The Oath Keepers are back with new leadership—leaked documents reveal they’re targeting youth to rebuild their image, with a focus on the Boy Scouts.

It's tricky to calibrate responses to public figures on a radicalisation journey. Because while they're still in earlier stages more reasonable voices on their side won't accept criticism of them but by the time they've gone full fascist it's too late to pull them back.

Most people know the Mail briefly supported the British Union of Fascists in 1934 ("Hurrah for the Blackshirts") but less well known is that Rothermere got all his papers to back them.

The Sunday Dispatch ran a prize for the best letter on "Why I Like the Blackshirts".
