We need to talk about Russia

So, yes, that means we also need to talk about Nigel Farage

In case you missed it ...
France and Germany want us back in the Single Market at the very least. They were even willing to pursue the idea of an "associate EU membership" for us to enable it.

I wonder what principles Lab still have when push comes to shove…
I thought that the poor +disabled would be protected with Lab - but no.
I thought they’d do more for young ppl (especially regarding the huge tuition fees, but no)
Nature? No
The EU? Not really
Tbh I don’t know what they believe now

Editorial: Rachel Reeves’s drive to speed up development is beginning to treat wildlife and the environment as expendable. Voters want homes built, but not at any cost

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Always remember ...
Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK turns its back on Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe against the rise of fascism. Pick a side.

The problem isn’t that Farage was never given the chance to run the country but that he absolutely was and has been for more than a decade

Are Labour really going to try and tie current economic damage (and hence the need for further tax rises) to Farage and to Brexit, whilst at the same time insisting that persevering with Brexit is the right thing to do?

That feels like gaslighting of the very highest order.
