Austerity policies worsened housing, health, education, transport, and civic amenities, while indulging corporate exploitation and profiteering..our most deprived communities have been harmed disproportionately by austerity and its consequences.

Yep. A vegeburger is a burger. A vegesausage is a sausage. Nobody’s confused. Let it be.

How Brexit is making Britain un-SAFE The government should have agreed to join a key European defence scheme - there can only be one explanation for why it did not

Britain's defence sector fuming that we didn't join EU SAFE scheme. An industry source:

“It was an opportunity to signal and we didn’t, which could have ramifications ... we must appreciate that Europe will be our biggest market and opportunity to sell gear.”

Brexit blamed for ‘brain drain’ of highly skilled workers leaving UK | The Independent - Brexit Carnage Post Content  Read More  Share the news

The UK economy faces a worsening outlook due to a significant decline in working-age immigration, exacerbated by Brexit, according to experts
A 'brain drain' is evident as 90% of the 252,000 British nationals who emigrated during the same period were of working age

Green party policies are popular amongst ordinary Brits, so calling us nuts is offensive to the electorate who support them

I get it though, Labour are doing so badly and now find themselves fighting on two political flanks

Come join a positive, hopeful vision of Britain!

National Park Service removes free entry on Martin Luther King Jr Day and Juneteenth The Trump administration is adding Flag Day, which is also President Trump's birthday, to its list of fee-free entry days at national parks.

Unhinged.

US National Park Service removes free entry on Martin Luther King and Juneteenth (celebrates end of slavery) Day. Replaces with free entry on Trump's birthday.

King Donald removes MLK & Juneteenth public holiday, replaces with flag day which is Trump's birthday.

US Congress asleep.

It was an Exceedingly Good protest.

Seen a lot of comments about Reform voters not caring what Farage said at school, which is probably true.

But you've also got to consider people who aren't going to vote Reform but you want to turnout or vote tactically against them.

Those words ‘can’t be uttered without malice’ – Holocaust survivor on Farage antisemitism allegations One of the people who signed that letter to Mr Farage is Agnes Kaposi, an engineer and author who survived the Debrecen ghetto and labour camps in Austria.

This is superb, and needs the biggest possible circulation.

This must be the most outrageous example of Farage's racist bullying. A 17-year-old Farage bullying a 9-year-old lad – NINE – for being black, and even waiting at the school gate to heap more abuse on the little lad.

What an absolute f***ing scumbag.

Deeply shocking, even by 1970s standards.

Hundreds of GPs write to Health Secretary Wes Streeting demanding ‘mutual respect’ amid contract negotiations row

Interesting what Crick notes.

Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.

.
Confirming what we knew already - Boris Johnson was a disastrous Prime Minister who should never hold public office again!

I get this

This is HUGE for labour.

A new Savanta poll shows 67% of people who voted Labour in the last general election want Labour to join the EU customs union.

Will Keir Starmer listen?
Let’s hope so.

Cover of Medical Assisting Today with a picture of spike proteins surrounding a pink brain on an orange/red background with the words LONG COVID with subtext Unpack causes and treatments at length.

“Instead of telling patients ‘I don’t know what’s wrong,’ we should be saying, ‘This meets the criteria for Long Covid.’”

Although the info isn’t groundbreaking, hope looks like the AAMA educating medical assistants on what Long Covid is.

Plus offering CEUs.

Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

It's not like Nigel Farage to be a Hypocrite.

Lammy says rejoining EU customs union could boost UK economy Deputy PM joins growing chorus of support in Labour to undo Brexit

We have got to the point now where 'Lammy states the bleeding' obvious' is a headline.

Don't worry though, he added: 'Rejoining the customs union was not currently government policy'.

Brexit ‘badly damaged’ our economy says David Lammy, the deputy prime minister also says rejoining the EU customs union would boost economic growth. More and more people are realising the sky doesn’t fall in when you tell the truth about Brexit!

How fab- love hearing a brass band- bit far from Newcastle tho unfortunately. 🎶🎺🎶

Plans for direct UK–Germany rail link one step closer Eurostar and Deutsche Bahn plan direct London–Germany high-speed rail by early 2030s, making travel greener and easier.

Another story related to the State Visit by Germany which you may have missed...

...is that the plans for the direct UK-Germany rail service have got one step closer!

Signing an agreement, Eurostar & Deutsche Bahn (DB) have confirmed joint plans to explore the setting up the route

How exciting!

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Holocaust survivors call on Nigel Farage to apologise over alleged antisemitic comments Exclusive: Group’s open letter says Reform UK leader must take responsibility for behaviour as a schoolboy A group of Holocaust survivors have demanded Nigel Farage tell the truth and apologise for the antisemitic comments that fellow pupils of Dulwich College allege he made toward Jewish pupils. The Reform UK leader has said he never racially abused anyone with intent but may have engaged in “banter in a playground”. Continue reading...
