This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Musk vociferously pushing Tommy Robinson is having major - predictable - results in terms of reach.

We saw the real-world impact on the streets of London today.

It is foreign interference, by any reasonable assessment.

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

From YouGov: Belief that Britain was right to vote to leave the EU falls to a new low of 30%

Trump just abolished all men.
All embryos are, at conception, female. After about 9-14 weeks of gestation male physiology develops.
For an ideology that's supposedly 'science-based' these chumps really can't get high school biology right.

Not at all. I think he is exactly what United need. He has the charisma, honesty, drive, as well as tactical and technical knowledge and experience. Plus he’s the right age. Give him a minimum of 6 transfer windows. He will succeed.

Disinfo wars: Why Britain can’t afford to ignore X A social media rumour about Keir Starmer has attracted millions of views – aided by far right figures who amplify conspiracy theories online

“There is no need for anyone to be on X who doesn’t want to be there. But ignore it at your peril: the UK has the makings of the disinformation ecosystem that has gutted the USA. If we don’t pay attention now, we may see something like Trump 2024 over here .” www.theneweuropean.co.uk/disinfo-wars...
