In 2016 Vote Leave marginally won
The UK gov knew of Russian interference to deliver Brexit
And despite that, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, and now Starmer have chosen to do what Putin wants- weaken Europe- instead of protect our democracy from Putin
Shameful

Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors.
Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

The BBC are not hiding it any more.
Yesterday they suggested bad economic news would put the Chancellor under pressure.
Today, the news was more positive...so the BBC have come out with 2 stories personally attack the Chancellor.
Why don't they like successful, powerful and competent women?

"The so-called 'Boriswave' is the surge in immigration (mostly from outside the EU) that has been unleashed as part of Boris Johnson's Brexit deal. This led to net migration rising from 184,000 in 2019 to a staggering and unprecedented 906,000 in 2023."

Brexit harms the British people. It means living standards held back, higher taxes, reduced welfare spending, crippled government services, and a lower budget for the NHS. Rejoining the EU is not something to be postponed to an indefinite future. Every day of Brexit means more damage.

I have to say the whining by the farmers is far more pathetic than about Private School VAT.
They are literally demanding to be exempted from tax so the same people can own 90% of the UK forever.
It is disgusting arrogance.

Without trade unions & the workers willing to back them we wouldn’t have
• a minimum wage
• maternity & paternity rights
• pension provision
• holiday & sickness entitlements
victories which have benefited every single person in this country
