Listening to RacheReeves pre tax/budget speech isn't helping πŸ™„

If you're (rightly) blaming Brexit for our under investment and productivity woes, then undo Brexit, become a member of one of their trading groups and campaign to rejoin the EU.

Otherwise there no point in this speech.

Links between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein detailed in JPMorgan report Emails indicate then UK business secretary stayed at New York house while disgraced financier was in prison

we revealed in FT two years ago that Mandelson stayed at Epstein's luxury house in Manhattan while the financier was in jail for soliciting a minor

he was deputy prime minister at the time

always seemed weird that broadcasters didn't really pick this up at the time

He also said we don't have freedom of speech, even though freedom of expression exists under the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act, both of which he's announced that he wants to repeal.

Why I am putting up Union flags on my high street in Sutton

Masked men putting up flags and demanding that passers by who challenge them tell them where they come from is not something to be celebrated.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

The UK does not have a "migrant crisis" or a "small boat crisis". It has a racism crisis, and it has been deliberately created.

Fantastic evening in St Andrews with @nicolasturgeon.bsky.social discussing her memoir β€˜Frankly’ - deeply moving and inspiring.

A great reflection on leadership, staying true to your values, and the challenges of political life.

Biggest indy puzzle for me over the last few years is why unionists haven't been relentlessly - and I mean *relentlessly - hammered with simple question - if Westminster won't allow indyref2, what *is* the democratic process for Scotland to decide its own future?

Brexit’s concrete consequences: Sevington border site set for sell-off It cost Β£154mn to convert a field in Sevington into a border inspection lorry park: now it seems likely to be sold

It cost Β£154mn to convert a field in Sevington into a giant, fenced slab of concrete…

- to act as a border inspection lorry park for purposes of a just-in-case Brexit scenario.

It now looks likely to be sold. But for how much?

Thanks for the eye-watering waste, Brexit.

Today is polling day in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. Katy Loudon has shown she would be an outstanding MSP.

This is now a two-horse race between the SNP and Farage.

#VoteSNP to stop Farage and to build a better Scotland. Vote @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social today.

I've not had a chance to read the article yet, but a headline is saying "It's like we never left in one of the most Brexity parts of the UK" and my brain immediately went "Almost like the EU was never the problem in the first place, and you dumb fucks kept voting the problem into office in the UK".

Very true.

Arguably it became a cult on day one after the vote: overnight a poorly-conducted advisory referendum became the single greatest act of democracy in the country's entire history; an act of unassailable purity and nobility.

Will Hughes: β€˜I don’t like the limelight … you’ve got to remember the priority is football’ The Crystal Palace midfielder tells Jonathan Liew about the hype in his early career, β€˜shit’ VAR and the embarrassment of Watford’s 2019 FA Cup final

Will Hughes was once the next big thing in English football; a teenage prodigy compared with Iniesta and Wilshere. Now he’s 30, a tough-tackling midfielder and two-time Cup finalist. So I wanted to ask him: did he actually β€œmake it”?
