The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

"There is no doubt that the impact of Brexit has been severe and long-lasting", Rachel Reeves tells Sky News, as she suggests that taxes will now have to go up as a result to "make sure the numbers add up".

“Make Brexit work” by raising taxes to stem the ongoing losses.
Slavish devotion to failed ideology has a very high price.

Kinnock is one of the finest proponents of progressive thought in this country and the best prime minister we never had.

Robert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · 11h

In 2010, an interviewer told Neil Kinnock that the Labour Party "never used to understand aspiration".

Kinnock gave an absolutely brilliant answer that should be learned by heart by every Labour MP. (0.42 to 1.22)

Finally.

FINALLY.

They are starting to admit the truth.

But you know, they have other options to solve this apart from tax rises.

Get back into the EU as fast as possible.

Save the economy.

Labour's Rachel Reeves thinks we're all stupid

After admitting that Brexit is costing us 4% of GDP

She suggested the UK-EU reset is mitigating that

It's not

0.13% GDP gain from UK–India deal
0.05% GDP gain from UK–US deal
0.3% GDP gain from UK–EU reset

All those years of attacking ‘the Brexit deal’ rather than Brexit itself have helped only Farage. It was always Brexit.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 9h

This makes no sense.
1. Brexit is at least two things: Being out of the EU and being out of the Single Market.
2. Both of these can be reversed.
3. To blame a reversible problem for your harmful economic decisions, while still refusing to reverse that problem, is the behaviour of a fool.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

I cannot overstate how much Labour continue to gaslight the public over Brexit.

This is like pointing out the gaping hole in a ship, then saying: "Don't worry, we're going to use a bigger thimble to bail it out".

So deceitful. So self-defeating. They're toast.

Just back from chemo unit - first denosumab injection.

Most of the staff were ‘non white’ ~ they might not even have had A level English! Shock, horror!
But they did a superb job.
