Badenoch is going to beat him to it (rejoin- because itโ€™s only a matter of time) if he doesnโ€™t watch out. I donโ€™t buy the RW press nonsense, but he should nail his colours to the mast - weak

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you youโ€™re right to feel angry about that. But not with him.

Calling Cumbrians: Following the devastating fire in Kirkby Lonsdale, many local businesses have been severely impacted as theyโ€™re behind the cordon & canโ€™t open, losing vital Christmas trade. This brilliant event tonight has been pulled together for them to showcase & sell their products:

โ€˜Brexit problemโ€™: UK tap water safety at risk after testing labs shut down Exclusive: EU countries will share laboratory capacity but UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad

โ€œBut UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad; they have to be tested in the country in a certified lab of which there are now none.โ€

I meanโ€ฆ ffsโ€ฆ

Brexit never gets any less idiotic or ruinous, does it?

like many people, I am baffled that former Spectator employee and close Michael Gove ally Kemi Badenoch won the leader of the year award from the Spectator magazine, whose editor is Michael Gove.

If the UK wants to grow and recover it must rejoin the Single Market.

That is all there is to say, failure to do so, will mean failure.

Letโ€™s all take a moment to congratulate Daniel โ€˜unelected bureaucratโ€™ Hannan for this masterclass in hypocrisy and abuse of power.
Someone sitting in the House of Lords (however dubiously) should *not* be signing this idiotic petition. But good to have his total lack of integrity confirmed. Again.

Labour can no longer hide from the cost of Brexit Weak growth and a Trump trade war could force the party to change its Europe policy.

I hear Gaetz has stepped aside so he can pursue his WWF ambitions, leading ultimately to the Dept of Education . Fingers crossed.

Your tax return is returned 1 day late, ยฃ100 fine.

You take ยฃ1.47m that your father raised to give to charity, to give it to yourself.

Nothing.

Sorry. But this right wing media howling about landowners and employers having to pay a bit more tax is tiresome.
