New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:

- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700

- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.

Rachel Reeves budget options could have been very different!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The ‘where are they now?’ chaser to Farage’s schoolboy racism..
“He inspired the country on a tide of xenophobia to leave the EU, a decision that most of the country regrets or outright hates, and.. went abroad to get a standing ovation from the German far right”

Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

this is insane - unlike tax avoidance and evasion it's a piddling amount, but I suppose it's red meat for the numpties and flagshaggers, and the poor have no lawyers

Very proud of former Reform MP, James McMurdock. Who better to stand up for women and girls than a man sent to prison for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend?

Farage’s spokesperson has said: “there is no primary evidence. It’s one person’s word against another”.

Read here what 18 people say otherwise, more than half of them on the record.

W/ Daniel Boffey and @drblacklock.bsky.social.
Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

did you know that "Nigel Farage's Reform Party" is an anagram of "Putin's Secret Poodle"?

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

it's a reflection of Labour's complete cynicism that they chose a woman from an ethnic minority background to introduce these measures - so they can't be accused of racism

I wonder if they'll kick out Ukrainian refugees?
“Is it possible that you could have a life here, a job here, maybe kids going to school, a family here, then after 19 years if your country is then considered safe you get booted out and sent home?”

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

welcome to the Slop Factory. it has two employees - a man and a dog. the man's job is to feed the dog. the dog's job is to stop the man touching the Slop Machine

we desperately need some equivalent to Asimov's Laws of Robotics, but it's probably already too late

You might have thought Question Time was biased.

But you never realised how much.

Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers.

“If you want to shoot without restraint, you can,” one commander says.

It’s a genocide.
