I have a cunning plan! Let's reintroduce proportional representation and follow it on quickly with rejoining the European Union. That would banjax Farage and his idiotic followers

Managed to get a question, put to the deputy leader candidates about the Brexit effect on our economy. Got unexpectedly created answer but at least both of these people are high up in the party question is published in today’s Guardian.

🙋🏻 that figure needs to be up in the 70s regularly. It’s the only way the PM will even consider doing things like rejoining the Customs Union, which would materially make things economically better for us. Until that tipping point he’ll continue to be too afraid of the press.

I can’t describe what a huge swelling of pride filled my heart this morning when they announced Trump hadn’t been awarded anything for being who he is. Well done. I hope it leads to a well deserved aneurism.

The Guardian could become far more proactive explaining about the 4% GDP loss #Brexit removed & the fact the Gvt is effectively writing off £185 billion. This figure’s more than the fiscal black hole & the funded needed for our services. It’s fear of the Right & the press. Rejoin the Customs Union

Literally using the Trump playbook of blame everyone else for the disasters your own Gvt inflicted on us when in power. Desperate, racist rhetoric for his next attempt to become leader.

The utter lack of historical awareness as to why a community exits. What an complete 🔔end Jenry& the legacy Tories are.

In a surprise to literally no one the Tory Party Mk2 continues to develop

Tobyh @tobyh.bsky.social · 6d

Starmer needs to acknowledge the changed landscape & rejoin the Customs Union. This Parliament. If you want to have a 2nd term then this has to happen. The tiny increases we’re seeing will not find the rebuilding that needs to happen. His fear of the media & Reform is just depressing.

This is all very well, but you are still ignoring the economic elephant of #Brexit. It’s catastrophe and effect that led to a 4a%GDP crash & has effectively removed £185 billion from the country. The new deals don’t come anywhere close

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

What, Michelle? 🧵
