EU’s von der Leyen urges youth to reverse Brexit

European Commission president says politicians ‘goofed it up’ in 2016 and the next generation will ‘have to fix it.’ But both Tories and Labour shun the idea.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

May this peace hold.

Tweet from Barack Obama: “After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight…”
The tweet continues expressing hope for peace, aid to Gaza, and rebuilding efforts.

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

If Corbyn and Sultana had any courage and sense they’d join the Greens and advise their supporters to do the same.

Seems @ReformDurham and @darrengrimes_ owe their electorate an apology,

They sold Durham the unicorns of DOGE and no council tax increases.

DOGE has found nothing and now they may be raising council tax.

Never trust a Reformer.

Reform UK’s DOGE is DEAD

EIGHT Reform UK councils are considering raising council tax because they haven’t found anything significant to cut.

That’s TWO Reform UK local election pledges broken.

ps. That's why the Greens are doing so well at the moment. By categorically and passionately rejecting the anti-immigration sentiment at the heart of Brexit, they've been free to express a different, much more progressive narrative that's obviously resonating with large sections of the public.

I’m afraid that if you emigrate to Dubai for the tax breaks and 24-hour security, you really should give up your citizenship here for someone who wants it.

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

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

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

“This stuff is borne of a deeply shallow patriotism.”

After Farage calls on Sky Sports to sack Gary Neville over his comments about “angry, white, middle-aged men, @jonsopel1.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com ask: what does patriotism in the UK actually look like?
