Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

It’s down to the Greens to keep calling them out on this Zack, it’s their Achilles heel (along with Brexit) . It appears that Labour do not have the balls or the interest

Richard Tice accepted stay at French Riviera home of Tory donor

Reform deputy leader’s trip, worth £1,4000, to Lubov Chernukhin’s property was for ‘discussing gas power in UK’

Comrade Farage loves migration if it puts money in his pocket and he speaks at conferences hosted by experts in advising rich migrants how to avoid tax

Idiot Nigel Farage wants to bring in card that for £250,000 would allow people in the UK to pay no tax for the next 10 years.

That would save tax even for someone only on £97,000 a year.

Imagine how much billionaires would be able to rip you off.

Putin spent 30 years trying to weaken Western institutions like the EEC/EU, UN, NATO, ICJ, ECHR etc and failed.
His assets Farage and Trump are achieving what he failed to do.
The beneficiary of their actions are not the people of America or the UK but Putin.

“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier”

They should have been saying this during the election campaign and promising to seek to rectify the situation, instead of just pandering to the fascist media

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit.
Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
But yes. It’s a start.

Starmer and Reeves are expected to argue that if it hadn't been for Brexit this type of downgrade would not have been needed - and cite official figures suggesting that if Britain had not left the European Union the economy would be about £120 billion greater by 2035 than current forecasts suggest.
The message is simple: Farage is ultimately to blame, as the man who delivered Brexit with "easy sloganeering" then walked away from the aftermath rather than putting in the hard yards.
Or to put it another way: Farage, not us, is responsible for putting up your taxes.
The theme will tie to the main thrust of Starmer's argument at conference, that the Reform leader is selling easy solutions that are just a fantasy.

They are in favour of closer ties with the EU. They would prefer full membership when the time is right. Personally I think if they made negotiating full return as part of their next manifesto, we will have a Green govt
