Thorough, important, and gripping journalism.
Please take time to read.
Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

This letter appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 30 August 2025. The writer illustrates that markets consider EU economies less risky than the UK and US.
Often see local press letters from #Brexit fans claiming European economies doing badly. Underpinned by falsehoods & fact-free fantasies. So this Hull Daily Mail letter makes a refreshing #BrexitReality evidence-based contrast: βComparable #EU economies perform better than UK & USβ #RejoinEU

The referendum result was unsafe and Brexit should never have happened.
Tell our Government this and that we should now "Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship"

Well, that's one more thing they literally couldn't have been more wrong about.
Support for EU membership is now at record levels.
Brexit has given us:
π₯ Lower GDP
π₯ Worse services
π₯ Higher immigration
π₯ More austerity
π₯ More red tape
π₯ Higher prices
π₯ Fewer freedoms
π₯ Staff shortages
π₯ Worse for farmers
π₯ Worse for fishermen
π₯ Less food security
π₯ Less sovereignty
π₯ More division
π₯ More hate
π₯ A border in the Irish Sea
Non-EU immigration has soared since Brexit. The points based immigration visa system was designed to replace EU workers with rights by lower-paid workers without rights from developing countries.
To control immigration we need to rejoin the EU.
If Labour weren't such total cowards about Brexit, they could have diffused the row over immigration by pointing, again and again and again, at the graph that shows immigration skyrocketed immediately after the transition period ended.
Make "Brexit = v high levels of immigration" in peoples' minds.
This petition deserves a lot more publicity. Please share it.
Given its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of Brexit as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Number crunching: Value of reduction in US tariffs for UK companies per year as against EU members v fall in UK exports per year due to Brexit
From the new Private Eye, out now.
A Government official said today, "We are not going back on Brexit."
Do you want to go back on Brexit, I do, and most of the UK does too.
It doesn't matter what they want, it matters what you do.
That's democracy.
Austerity is political anthrax.
Fortunately for Starmer, there's an alternative.
π NEW @yougov.co.uk polling shows 46% of Brits think the best way to grow the economy is with a new trade deal with the EU, vs 28% who think the government should cut benefits.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraineβs sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
