And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures.

Inside Labour is a hard-working, decent party wanting to make a difference. They need a chance to sort themselves out. Trying to please the right fails us all and makes it far too easy for Farage.

Knowing Brexit is a deeply dishonest project should be good enough reason to bin it, along with the liars who flogged it to the country.
Instead, we stay stuck in this Brexit dead-end because no one quite has the courage to admit what an epic fuck-up it is.

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.
