#NeverVoteReform

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

Turns out all the Brexiters shilling for Trump really hate British sovereignty.

Streaming giants to help collect licence fee under BBC proposals — The Times and The Sunday Times The BBC is proposing to head off the threat of “managed decline” with an array of radical reforms including requiring people who only use streaming services to pay the licence fee. In the broadcaster’...

“Executives are calling for the government to make “bold choices” for the next charter from 2028 — including requiring those who stream content from the likes of Amazon, Disney, Netflix or YouTube to have a TV licence.”

It won’t be a TV licence: it’ll be poll tax.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Nigel Farage piles pressure on US to kill off Chagos surrender Reform UK's leader has vowed to 'reinforce the message' during his trip to the US that Sir Keir Starmer 's deal to hand the Indian Ocean territory to Mauritius is the 'worst deal in history'.

"Labour's Chagos Islands surrender". Also known as 'the agreement negotiated by a Conservative government'.

Still, I suppose we all stopped expecting truth from the vile Daily Mail long ago.

I wonder how many Mail readers could even point to the islands in an atlas? 🤔🤣

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

Watercolour drawing of Green Street, Cambridge with the figure of a young woman in a green dress striding along and a few lightly-sketched bicycles.

I have produced quite a few paintings and drawings of Green Street in Cambridge over the years. Here's a watercolour and ink sketch showing the western end as it goes into Trinity Street. Not sure if I still have this one.

This is almost exactly what I said would happen on yesterday’s show. The conflicting & contradictory reasons given for the war, coupled with client journalists & pusillanimous politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, will enable him to claim ‘success’ when nothing remotely successful has happened.

Badenoch has announced today the Tories will restore the two child benefit cap.

It goes both ways too.

Republicans/Trump: "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF EUROPE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US! TARIFFS! THREATS! NAME CALLING! WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU PAY US!"

Also: "Can we pwetty pwetty pwease drag you into a widdle unilateral aggression? 🥺"

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.

Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

Labour Wins Murton By-Election Seat from Reform in Durham!

In the Murton ward by-election, Labour's Julie Ann Griffiths took 1,004 votes to beat Reform’s Theo Samuel Bell's 786 votes.

Farage will be throwing his toys out the pram once more!

I really hope Spain win the World Cup. That would piss Trump off nicely.

Awake to birdsong…it’s idiotically early, light only just beginning to seep into the margins of the sky, but I don’t mind a bit! After the darkness of winter, I’ll take every suggestion of light possible!
Wishing you a lovely day, dear early birds (human and winged!)

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Farage & Badenoch both want the UK to go to war with Iran!

Thank goodness we have Keir Starmer, a strong, stable leader who values British values, British lives & the national interest.

We should all support our Primeminster at a time of crisis in the world.

The End of the Night

Encroaching daylight, fading night.
The Lady keeps dancing, but not even my technological toys can help my mortal eyes perceive her magic.
The Veil draws closed.

Hunting is completely impractical, causes immense damage to farming, benefits nobody and is very cruel indeed.

No wonder Britain's leading Brexiter backs it.
