So what “Brexit freedoms” are the Tories and Reform worried we’re going to lose? More difficult trade with the EU? Longer queues at airports and borders? Not having a returns agreement for illegal migrants? 🤦♂️

Must admit I’m considering my Labour Party membership. There’s an argument to be made for lowering immigration (with commensurate investment and policy changes to compensate for the losses in GDP, employment etc.) but the rhetoric we heard from Stammer is not from the Labour Party that I believe in.

Andrew Griffith being so disingenuous on the politics shows this morning. Arguing that the trading issues with EU are not to do with Brexit, but barriers put in place by individual states. But they wouldn’t have been able to put in those barriers if it wasn’t for Brexit 🤦♂️

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Bishop Tells Trump to ‘Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children
The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that has not historically been political.
