Funny how this year I was denied a COVID vax as Type 1 diabetes is no longer within the list of conditions, and I seem to have spent 2 weeks off work in December with an URTI caused by a β€œnasty virus”, and I’m still coughing and breathless πŸ€”

The lack of political will and honesty directly leads to public suspicion of the EU, and consequently will make it harder to build public consensus to support rejoining. I mean, they can't even include the Brexit referendum in the inquiry into foreign interference in UK politics/elections ffs πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

An anti-Brexit majority of eight million The British electorate are now overwhelmingly pro-remain. And yet the europhobes still argue the votes of the dead count for more than the views of the young

The views of the young should count for more than the votes of the dead.

We’ve an IKEA kitchen still looking really good after 17 years. We got the decent beech wood doors, and separately sourced a quality wood worktop. The price also allowed us to buy some quality electrical items ; and if we ever want to refresh the look we can just change the doors and handles

Rising racism blamed for collapse in number of foreign nurses coming to UK Number of overseas nurses and midwives registered between April and September was half that of a year ago

Rising racism blamed for collapse in number of foreign nurses coming to UK.

UKIP/Reform/Farage damaged the economy with Brexit, now destroying the NHS.

The UK is an ageing society, without immigration the economy can't function. Will we ever get an honest debate?

I’m quite frankly appalled and will not be voting Labour (or this β€œversionβ€œ of it) again. They will be losing far more votes to Greens/LibDems/Plaid/SNP than they ever would to RefUK Ltd or the Tories. This immigration policy will become the longest political suicide note in history

Instead of some proportion from much of the British media class, we are treated to the tragicomic absurdity of a former British prime minister willing to admonish the national broadcaster and demand the resignation of its Director General, all in the name of defending Donald Trump's reputation for truth-telling. But it's worse than that- it is a textbook example of how populists win. We have the ridiculous carnival of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, of all people, admonishing the BBC for its lack of integrity. And they can get away with it, because no-one expects anything from them and yet we expect everything from the people and places who actually give a damn.

I think there’s a big distinction to make between BBC News/Current Affairs and their sport/drama/documentary etc output. The former I stopped watching a few years back due to blatant RW bias (ironically given recent events), the rest is still worth defending and highly regarded

Useful story on the Reform + Conservative plans

- How many nurses have ILR? How many earn < Β£38.7k or meet ANY of the other conditions?
- How many nurses are they removing who arrived 2021-25? (There were 25,497 in the 12 months to March 2023, for example)

On average, every 4 years, the ECHR stops the UK removing 1 foreign person.

They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this.

I've being saying "told you so" about Brexit for a decade. Don't let them do it to you again. Please listen this time.....
