Wtf is wrong with people? We're all immigrants, descendants of immigrants.
Most decent British people used to be proud to live in such a wonderfully multi cultural place.
UK needs immigrants. MSM, Farage do know this, but again, his toxicity is dividing Britain.
Let's deport him, keep immigrants.

Of course not. Please refer to my other reply. Not on here to fight, so I will exit stage left.

That's awful behaviour, from anyone, and unforgivable in politicians, so I'm sorry it happened to you.
Seems that I can change my mind having previously held a good opinion of her, mainly based on climate, environmental issues.

Good for you Zack. It is about time that the views of the decent majority are heard.
That's probably 'libs and lefties' to Richard Tice, who, it seems is only 10 years old.
What a painfully immature post - says a lot more about him than perhaps he realises.

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit.
Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
But yes. It’s a start.

www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

Starmer and Reeves are expected to argue that if it hadn't been for Brexit this type of downgrade would not have been needed - and cite official figures suggesting that if Britain had not left the European Union the economy would be about £120 billion greater by 2035 than current forecasts suggest.
The message is simple: Farage is ultimately to blame, as the man who delivered Brexit with "easy sloganeering" then walked away from the aftermath rather than putting in the hard yards.
Or to put it another way: Farage, not us, is responsible for putting up your taxes.
The theme will tie to the main thrust of Starmer's argument at conference, that the Reform leader is selling easy solutions that are just a fantasy.

Yup. British arrogance, exceptionalism. UK was well off, even enjoyed favourable terms within EU. Brexit broke Britain and EU/UK relationship. I suspect that the behaviour of the Brexit arsonist is what EU will remember

Yes. I was surprised by that.
But more recently, she has publicly said that Brexit has badly damaged Britain. She now believes that we should cut our losses, seek to rejoin.
So perhaps she deserves respect for understanding that there's not much point in having a mind if you can't change it 🤔

At least one senior Labour official seems to finally remember they aren't in Reform.
The changes won't just harm economy and country, they'll destroy families and force more people into becoming undocumented, leading to more deportations. They need scrapping not pausing.
