Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK

When you think of health and safety laws and human rights laws as “obstructive bureaucracy”, stopping you being as vicious and damaging as you want to be to immigrants - who you encourage voters to blame for your own abject failures - you’ve become a monster. Let’s hope it ends up devouring itself.

Suella Braverman becomes the latest Tory MP to defect to Reform UK. “I feel like I’ve come home,” she tells a rally of people who can't wait to be in power so they can deport anyone whose parents weren't born in this country.

Perhaps Labour might like to take a rain check on their internal dramas over Starmer’s future and whether or not Burnham can or cannot stand as an MP and deal with Trump, the poor state of the economy as well as Brexit and our relationship with Europe.

Haven't seen any explanations in the media about how the proposed police reforms will be different from the existing National Crime Agency, also colloquially known as "the British FBI"

EU countries gain by negotiating jointly.
Mark Carney said:
“When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon,we negotiate from weakness, competing with each other to be the most accommodating.This is not sovereignty. It’s the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination”

This strikes a painful chord. A memory of our own flag being taken down from the EU buildings.
An end to cooperation. So symbolic, isolating and shameful.

As a member of the EU the UK had a voice at the top table and punched well above its weight. Brexiters are now realizing that leaving the EU has cost us dearly. Instead of admitting their mistake they are now calling for us to develop a US style right wing society in return for US protection. No way
