WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!

"The very people who pledged that Brexit would result in surging levels of non-white immigration, now froth with rage that their promise came true." open.substack.com/pub/writesbr...

As well as the fantasy £234 bn, journalists should also be clear Farage's claims most new migrants don't work, and those who do are on low wages, are entirely false.

In fact, 1.8 million recent migrants are on payrolls (others will be self employed).

Starmer has pulled out all the stops to flatter and impress Trump, but still hasn’t managed to get him to drop his damaging tariffs, take on Putin or tell Netanyahu to stop waging genocide.

It’s time for the UK to stand tough with allies who share our values.

1/ After the referendum, BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for around 2 years, thus grossly biasing the Brexit debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy.

Russia Today was thrown out of the UK because the level of misinformation it peddled was a danger to UK democracy. However, it never called for the overthrow of the UK government. This loathsome creature and his cesspit platform should face an immediate ban.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Please repost if you want it restored.

How much working time is wasted hanging on the phone because " your call is important to us"?

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Looks like the EEA is crumbling in favour of full EU membership. Add to that the recent moves by Switzerland to tighten its own relationship, and the packed pipeline of new EU membership applications.

Within a decade it could just be the UK, Russia and Belarus outside. What bedfellows we've chosen!

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them.

Until my country can work that very simple puzzle out we are doomed.

The worst thing about Brexit is that it won't stop. It will get harder and harder as we move away from the EU. Especially as trade with the USA will get harder with Tariffs just being the start of Trump's unfriendly USA.

To destroy our food and farming system is idiotic having decided to cut off from the EU.

Starmer is indeed intent on making Brexit work. This offensive is Brexit disaster capitalism in action.

Who will feed Britain? Trump? Putin? Modi?

Ok this is a good one. PM responds to a question from Nigel Farage by saying it's nice to see him actually in the UK - "I was half expecting to see him on our immigration statistics"

Nadine Dorries supports Independent Schools fighting the VAT levy legally.
However they’re fighting it by appealing to the ECHR, which Nads wants to abolish!
Is this dichotomy a problem for Nads?
OF COURSE NOT!
It’s what made her such a great Tory Minister.
I miss her!😔
