They appear to be stuck in Farage’s headlights, in thrall to the extremists rather than the pragmatic majority who want to rejoin. I reckon it’s the biggest single issue that is leading the the greens surge

Please ask why, when polls are massively in favour, and growth is non existent, he and Labour still stick to the mantra of not even talking about rejoining the EU.

It’s was mad to leave, mad not to acknowledge the catastrophic damage it has caused and mad to now not listen to the voters

Brexit costing UK up to Β£90bn in lost tax revenue , new analysis shows Exclusive: Britons also up to Β£3,700 worse off, leading to calls for the Labour government to improve relations with the EU

Surely only a matter of time before even Labour conclude we need to rejoin

Told you so! The Telegraph denounces Brexit as 'unmitigated economic disaster' We've now got The Telegraph joining the Brexit resistance, after the formerly pro-leave paper ripped into its 'near-disastrous' consequences.

It’s hardly a full bloodied retreat, but when the telegraph allows its columnists to start saying that Brexit has been a disaster you know that the damn walls must be about to break

There is a danger you carry on talking about him, helps his cause.

Everyone knows who he is and what he is, or should do.

So let’s not get sucked into the BBC β€œreport the polls” scenario

Charismatic leader emerges on the left to roil Britain’s political scene Zack Polanski of the Greens has drawn comparisons to New York’s Zohran Mamdani as he connects with younger voters on social media over the political issues of the day.

I like Zac Polanski. (only party advocating rejoining the EU)

I also agree with his thesis on inequality, but I did wince at as his economic illiteracy when questioned on the rest is politics.

He needs some help and clarity there to nail down the vote.

What's the Monarchy For? Power, money and influence - the monarchy is at the heart of our national life. David Dimbleby takes a personal look at its role and its future in a changing world.

A good bbc doc on the royal family at last. Hoping episode 2 begins to shed the light on just how ludicrous their wealth accumulation and failure to pay taxes is

It’s all beginning to unravel

We need to REJOIN the EU

Some good things in the budget but if Labour needs growth to stop yearly tax rises, then they to start costing and outlining entry back into the EU.

It’s inevitable and essential so start now

As the Daily Mail looks to buy The Telegraph, it’s worth recalling how little their columnists language has changed.

The world Musk imagines is one where his Ai companies

That is indentured slavery, where compliance is compulsory, the masses are dependent on the few, and there is no exit

Duke of Westminster inherited Β£9B in 2016, Should have been a Β£4B boost to the treasury?

But no inheritance tax is not for them, the uber wealthy hide it in trust funds.

It’s this β€œlanded” few that the gov should look at with a wealth tax & use that to fund entrepreneurs and wealth creators.

I think that’s the end of Labour. The one thing Farage might have right is an early election.

Sad. They had no vision, strategy or plan, just pandering to polls and populism

If it were possible to have laws against lying for political purpose, they’d be in jail, not running high in the polls

I think the sycophantic behaviour of Farage and the right wing towards Trump over the BBC issue, is a massive miscalculation.

Good or bad people have an affinity for it.

Hopefully the BBC will stand strong and Farage will suffer badly

Hate what trumps doing to the BBC but this sums up my issue with it. They get lost between right and wrong , good and bad, in the search for impartiality

Trump's attack can rescue the BBC The BBC should use the threat of legal action to strike a blow for press freedom

Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.
