Every single time Britain exercised a Brexit freedom, we ended up poorer or in a worse situation as a result.

Just look at immigration under Boris Johnson, the dreadful NZ and Australian trade deals, the plight of our farmers, the loss of funds to the poorest regions, etc. etc.

Our media rightly rages about the already-disgraced Mandelson and Andrew but wrongly fails to hold others in that murky moneyed network to account.
Our democracy is under attack from these dismal people right now. Do not be exposing that a decade too late.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

UK child poverty up 34% in a decade.

Families can't afford the cost of food, rent, childcare, heating, essentials.

72% of poor children live in working families.

Secure jobs, universal basic income/services, curbs on profiteering, free school meals would help.

Must eradicate parental poverty.
Why are four million children still going hungry in the UK in 2026?
Hunger in the UK is the scourge that ceases to abate. It's time to build a road map to meaningful and lasting change.

The Express… and Farage… want Brexit to be even worse than this…

Even more cost. More losses. More red tape. More queues. More businesses failing. Less tax revenue. Less investment. Less protection. Fewer rights. Less security.

But more white.
Their racism ruins us.

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

That’s not even close to an apology. And besides, Denmark lost more people per head of the population than *any* other country in Afghanistan. The obviousness of his contempt for crucial alliances matches the obviousness of his contempt for the truth.
