Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 18h

This narrative doesn't make sense. You can't blame Brexit for harming the economy ... (UK businesses, for example, lose £37bn a year due to a drop in EU trade) ... yet at the same time categorically rule out returning even to the Single Market. So Starmer needs to do a masssive U-turn or step down.

Starmer ‘planning to blame Farage and Brexit’ for budget tax hikes

Sir Keir Starmer has been ramping up his attacks on Nigel Farage in recent weeks as Labour falls behind in the polls

There are many clashes in Gaza right now between the Israeli-backed Abu-Shabab group and Hamas

The collaborators have killed some journalists too

"Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians forcibly displaced by Israel's war are returning to their land, determined to reclaim what's left of their homes.

They now face the immense challenge of rebuilding, with much of #Gaza 's infrastructure completely destroyed.'

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Israel, as it always does, will blame Hamas and the Palestinians for failing to abide by the agreement, most probably a refusal—true or not—to disarm, as the proposal demands

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

How is it possible that a peace proposal ignores the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 Advisory Opinion, which reiterated that Israel’s occupation is illegal and must end?

How can it fail to mention the Palestinian’s right to self-determination?

Why are Palestinians, who have a right...

Machado’s party is generously funded by USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (a group that kindly installs new leaders when electorates make the wrong choice)

If you still doubt Machado’s patriotism, you should know she is a big advocate for the sanctions that are starving Venezuelans

Machado’s drug trafficking remark was important because it paved the way for Trump to bomb Venezuelan fishermen

Machado thanked Trump for his “firm & decisive action” to dismantle Maduro’s “criminal & terrorist structure”

As you can imagine, the families of those fishermen were incredibly moved
