We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

✊ "The public is clearly ready to see Brexit reversed. There cannot be a single industry that would oppose it."

➡️ "This should not be a partisan matter, except insofar as it might isolate Farage’s Reform party – and be his undoing."

Hard agree

Opinion | Starmer has not prioritised growth, not really. He has done what British governments have been doing for over a decade: prioritising anti-immigration policy and focusing on growth only where it does not interfere with it

Where was the editor in this? “dude, when we talk about memorable adverts, readers want Hovis, smash, Campari, hope it’s chips…, not safestyle, meerkat, breaking point and go home vans”

This was such a great evening in such an intimate and up close venue, thanks @mattgreencomedy.com & best wishes and good luck with tour!

I don’t know who’s more detached from reality.

I’m guessing it must be me, because while I’m watching my profession evaporate I’m still in the “it’s the economy, stupid” lane and not buying its “all the migrants stole the creative jobs from the over 50s” one.

Strap in, it’s…

Not sure the man responsible for this poster is best placed to lecture anyone else on taking politics “into the gutter”.

Ed Davey announced new spokesperson team Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has announced a new, expanded frontbench team as his party takes the fight to Nigel Farage and Reform.

Ed Davey announced new spokesperson team

Prime Minister finds his voice in the fight against Farage Campaigners have welcomed Keir Starmer's speech at the Labour Party conference and urged the Prime Minister to "deliver on those words".

@pimlicat.bsky.social: “There was a confidence and authenticity in how Starmer delivered his speech, clearly more at ease speaking against racism, division and Brexit than echoing anti-immigrant sentiment.

“The challenge now is to deliver on these words."

Rattled Farage moans Starmer put him at risk in unhinged Trump-style rant The Reform leader, who has repeatedly backed absolute free speech complained about the Labour leader’s “language”, and claimed "antifa" and the "radical left" would be coming after him

Haha, very good

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.

“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.

“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Can't we just get healthcare

@mrkennycampbell.bsky.social's involved drinking aftershave in Greece after a balcony fell from the sky. Mine was my first contact with a dessert trolley.

Plainly, both shaped us in more significant ways than we care to admit.
