👏 Khan gets it. Britain must rejoin the EU. 💷 Membership of the EU will deliver a £92bn boost to our economy. British businesses will see a £43bn boost to their exports too. 🧠 It really is a no brainer.

Our polling with YouGov shows that 99% of constituencies want to rejoin the EU. And Labour promising to rejoin the EU could stop a Reform UK government. Now is the time to talk about EU membership. https://www.ft.com/content/a1614884-7c8c-4320-bf61-4eaaa8f6960b?syn-25a6b1a6=1

shorturl.at/U1H8H All polls suggest that the UK is ready to #RejoinEU. Remember the damage that #Brexit has done - GDP per Capita: Reduced by 6% to 8% compared to a comparable synthetic basket of advanced economies. Business Investment: 12% to 18% down. #RejoinEU NOW!

#FBPE is not a cheap tool to get more followers; it's a sign of solidarity among progressives in their fight against populism & hatred. We support the EU and democratic values and cooperate with other movements. Ultimately, it's not the hashtag but the content of one's timeline that is important.

Surely this is not hard to fix? All it needs is a clause in the legislation that permits an organisation such as a union to collect any number of individual donations below a defined cap and pay the aggregate to a political party. PROVIDED such contributions are auditable and fully voluntary.
Andy #Burnham took over as PM he made noises about capping political donations to £500K, then reducing further. He now seems to be resisting pressure to carry this out We must stop characters like #Harborne & #Farage using politics for their own ends. shorturl.at/JvbF4 #MoralityinPolitics

“No amount of headline-chasing, or following Reform to the extremes can hide the damage the Tories did to our housing system” So v bored of the rightwing elbowing each other out of the way to be the most racist, the most vengeful. It’s all so deeply inadequate. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Jon King probably has all the pillow cases and duvets he needs and then some. He won’t have racist thugs terrorising him in his home, threatening to burn it down. He won’t be permanently worried sick and fearful for himself, his family and his future. Still not sure how he sleeps at night though.

Whilst Andy Burnham has found the time to opine on such vital issues as 'vertical drinking', and whether a bread roll should be called a ‘barm’, he has not found the time to comment on some of the worst racist violence on Britain's streets in the postwar period www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/illegitima...

Farage should be in prison. Lowe should be back in obscurity, chuntering around his land and moaning that his life of staggering privilege is being messed up by having to see some brown people. And Musk - who pays Lowe to foghorn out his fascism - should…. I’ll leave it there.

“Lowe's language is the language of expulsion… So while Lowe struts around his acres, people in Thetford are having their windows smashed and facing chants of "we want them out".” It’s Farage’s language too though. Two cheeks. Same arse. www.independent.co.uk/voices/ruper...

I understand the softly-softly-red-lines-in-our-manifesto approach but I also think it’s tediously prolonging the agony of this game of let’s-pretend-Brexit-wasn’t-a-monumental-fuck-up. The world is very different to 2016. Brexit Britain is going nowhere fast. Time to get real and say so.

Ultimately, our shared interests and responsibilities are far better served within the EU than without it. Prosperity, opportunity, defence, climate change, migration…are all issues better tackled together than constantly knocking on the door, asking to be let in. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“But just hours after Farage suggested the possibility of working with Estonia on this, the nation ruled out any deal”… confirming that, yet again, Farage is just making up shit as he goes along… Frankly embarrassing to ever believe a single word he says. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...
