Is this what they mean by a Brexit benefit? “Unethical and irresponsible waste imperialism.”

In 2023, EU agreed to ban exports of waste to poorer nations outside a group of mainly rich countries within the OECD for an initial 2.5 years - the UK has no such ambitions in place

UK plastic waste exports to developing countries rose 84% in a year, data shows

Campaigners say increase in exports mostly to Malaysia and Indonesia is ‘unethical and irresponsible waste imperialism’

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.

Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

Make no mistake.

The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats.

It’s time to call it by its name.
This is hybrid warfare.

Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies.

The headline should read: Since 2020, Brits could be banned from the EU due to Brexit removing our status, freedoms, and opportunities as European citizens. Now it will be harder to cheat the 90/180 rule.

Also another example of the UK tabloids hating it when the EU takes 'control' of its borders

Brits could be banned from holiday homes under EU's 90-day rule

The EU has ordered member states to apply the 90/180-day rule 'rigidly', meaning Brits who overstay could be hit with hefty fines of up to £8,700 and even ten-year bans from entering the bloc.

Spain was more immune to the far right due to our recent history with Franco; however, that is now changing. The youth are being drawn to Vox

Even though migration barely registers an issue for younger voters, failed policies on housing, wages, employment are driving young voters to far right party

In Spain, what once seemed impossible is now widespread: the young are turning to the far right | María Ramírez

Migration is barely mentioned – instead, failed policies on housing, wages and employment are driving young voters into the arms of Vox, says María Ramírez, deputy managing editor of elDiario.es

Dominic Grieve is right. Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be a reckless act of self-harm, breaking security ties, breaching international law, and weakening Britain’s standing while doing nothing to solve the problems this government pretends to fix.

In one morning, twenty Tory councillors have defected to Reform during the third day of the Conservative Party conference. It seems its attempts to appease the far-right are causing it to sink faster than the Titanic.

This is what the far right do when confronted with their toxic hate .. they respond in feigned outrage repeating learned rhetoric while ensuring the person questioning them can’t get a word in edgeways so it looks like they’ve won

You see it from Trump, Farage, Tice, Tommy Robinson - It’s textbook

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
