The effect of Brexit is not just 'long-lasting'. It is never ending.

Until Brexit is reversed, UK remains at a disadvantage to all its neighbours, economically, geopolitically and in terms of individual opportunities.

I joined the European Movement at Downing Street to hand in over fifty-five thousand signatures calling on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Leaving it would put us alongside Russia and Belarus. Britain should stand for justice, not isolation.

My NHS Bill @mynhsbill.bsky.social · Sep 20

In the US, Barbara’s kidney transplant came with a $100k bill - even with insurance.

She had to crowdfund and remortgage her home.

In the UK, it’s free on the NHS.

My NHS Bill @mynhsbill.bsky.social · Sep 19

Rachel gave birth to twins by emergency C-section.

The bills came to nearly $30,000.
Six months later, she was forced to declare bankruptcy.

This is what happens under an insurance-based system.
In the UK, that care would have cost nothing.

We’ve built a tool that shows you.

Trump is back. Farage is rising. Private firms are already inside our NHS.

It’s happening quietly - and it’s time to fight back loudly.

Labour has positioned itself in a political no man’s land, alienating its base, repelling moderates, and failing to win over the people it is so desperate to impress. It is a strategy without a constituency, a road to defeat.

Why Labour’s Betrayal on Immigration Will Cost Them the Next Election

By copying the rhetoric of the far right, Labour has alienated the left, repelled the centre, and will never win the trust of Reform’s base.

An act of cruelty, a display designed to mock those who risk everything in search of safety.

What happened in Moygashel, Northern Ireland on July 10, was a disgrace. An effigy of a migrant boat was paraded and set alight as part of a so-called celebration. It wasn’t just the model of a vessel...

This is a media ecosystem that confuses provocation for importance and controversy for relevance.

He is handed microphone after microphone, given hours of airtime under the guise of "balance." But what is being balanced here? When you consistently platform hate, you don’t just reflect public discourse, you shape it.

Reform UK receives disproportionate media coverage compared to its actual political presence. Nigel Farage, despite leading a party with no elected MPs, is granted more exposure than leaders of the Greens or the Liberal Democrats.

Well said @jackdart.bsky.social

I think fragmentation is certainly a risk. It’s probably inevitable. But abandoning platforms means our audience reach reduces at a time we need it to increase.
