Does anyone know why the people of Clacton don’t have a view on the UK being in a customs union with the EU? Mr Farage did not bother to vote on the subject so I assume Clacton does not care about the UK economy.

Do when even ardent brexiteers are admitting it has damaged the economy maybe it’s time politicians did something about it. Rejoining would be a good plan

I see reform have been reduced to 4 MPs, the same as Plaid Cymru. Can we look forward to Reform getting coverage from the BBC and other media outlets which reflects their status?

It’s worth remembering Farage’s stated views on the NHS, when you consider his support for a trade deal with Trump and Reform’s seeming willingness to take US cash. I wonder what is being traded behind the scenes.
