I've just added my name to the call for the UK to join the European Union by 2036. A stronger economy, more jobs, greater security, and a louder voice in the world. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/join_eu_by_2...

Apparently people have also been buying RNLI Xmas cards and sending them to Reform via their free post address .... 😂😂👏👏👏🙏🙏 Reform UK, FREEPOST RTLT-ZXHY-KSDC, 83 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0HW

At last there is something I agree with Farage about. Were he to become UK Prime Minister, it would indeed be a state of emergency.

People are fed up with privatised water companies letting us down and ripping us off. We deserve a real conversation about public ownership. Can you help build pressure by asking your MP to attend this crucial debate on water ownership? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Is there any greater confluence of staggering stupidity and enormous wealth than this man? What pleasure do such rich idiots get from making the world a worse place for everyone?

There now follows a party election broadcast by the Count Binface Party, And if I do say so myself, it's a banger. #VoteBinface #Clacton

@bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social I wish to protest at today’s news coverage for a crank candidate in the Clacton by election, calling for war with France. Surely there should now be equal coverage for the policies of Count Binface.

Genuine question - in this short period between PM Starmer giving the King his resignation and PM Burnham being appointed, is David Lammey the head of government?

I am currently reading for review the brilliantly written ‘How to win a Trade War’ by @soumayakeynes.ft.com and Chad Bown. It is very rare that an economics book makes me laugh out loud, but I tried to read page 74 to my wife and I couldn’t get the words out because I was laughing so much.

Andy Burnham arriving in London on a late train and then getting stuck in traffic is known in English teaching as a metaphor

‘Our exam system suffers from conflating the need to rank with the need to show achievement.’ Excellent and very sensible thread from @jillongovt.bsky.social

Former UK foreign secretary David Miliband, on Radio 4 Today Programme, summed up the Labour government’s fundamental problem this morning in a single , pithy , analytical sentence: ‘the things they promised not to do are stopping the things they promised to do.’

My goodness- @vicderbyshire.bsky.social is so good! Great interviewer, not argumentative for the sake of it, but also doesn’t take crap from bullying men.

I’m one of the four!

BBC radio 4 right now: ‘how did you vote?’ ‘I voted Reform’. ‘Can you tell me any of their policies?’ ‘ I don’t care’. Isn’t democracy wonderful!

It's Europe Day! Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for. And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe. Because all together, we are Europe. Happy Europe Day!

To wake up to find we now have 5 ‘Reform’ councillors in Colchester makes me feel physically sick.

Liberal Democrats are proud to serve their community. We don’t sow division; we fix potholes and church roofs, and we always sweat the small things. 

🔶 Vote Liberal Democrat this Thursday to elect a local champion for your community. 🗳️

Tired of soaring supermarket bills? 🛒 The PM is planning a bold new law to match EU trading rules, slashing border red tape to finally bring food prices down. Let’s show him the public has his back! Sign here:

Apparently President Trump believes that assassinations of leading government figures including heads of government is wrong and that only ‘whackos’ would do it.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... Excellent analysis in today’s Guardian. Describes with acute accuracy the qualities of the President of the United States and the rationale for why he is adored by the MAGA community.

@andrewrawnsley.bsky.social writes re EU membership, ‘some mistakes you get to correct. Others persist in being damaging for years’. With his clear and logical account of why this is likely to be the case, I fear he is right.

It must be a sign of my aging that I just can’t get excited by NASA astronauts stopping short of what NASA astronauts did several times around 56 to 54 years ago when they actually walked on the moon.

David Dimbleby speaking on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social making so much sense! Fully agree

I’ve been waiting all day for coverage of Robert Jenerick celebrating Lady Day.

As a British Salvationist I would not normally publicise the words of an American Roman Catholic cardinal, but this is so spot it needs to be listened to by anyone claiming to be a Christian youtu.be/408wLQVioAk?...

"We know that within that first hour of war, between 140 and 160 Iranian school girls were killed by an American Tomahawk missile," says Emily Maitlis. "Now, if that's what Trump thinks of a success, I am speechless, frankly" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/i-ca...

@mercedesamgf1team.bsky.social @mercedesamgf1br.bsky.social does anyone know when Mercedes will sort the 400 v charging capability for the CLA 220 + model please? I know Mercedes says ‘spring 2026’ but spring officially began a week ago.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Wonderfully hilarious woman starting the vox pop on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social anti immigrant woman wants to leave this country and move to America where they are getting things right- presumably clearing out the immigrants - you know, immigrate you would be.

I've just written to my MP asking them to attend the Brexit Referendum Anniversary Debate. You can do the same in just two minutes: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/contact-mp-e...
