Britain only wants to be in our EU for what it can extract and only when it can dominate..

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

It’s absolutely disgusting that reform get a platform from taxpayers money to spout lies and hatred

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Meanwhile at the BBC …..

UK Establishment Press boosting the Far-Right the exact same way the US media did in the mid-2010's by treating any time Donald Trump spoke as live breaking news

Musk wants Ukraine to stop killing Russian soldiers but it is ok if Russian soldiers kill Ukrainians, rape their women, kidnap their children, bomb the civilians and steal their land. What is wrong with this picture? Trump and Musk want Russia to win and do not care how many Ukrainians die.

Anyone who thought what was good for Vladimir Putin was good for the UK is : A) A traitor B) Massively corrupt or C) A fool

Former Head of MI6 Sir John Sawers says the Russians tried to interfere with the Brexit referendum as they saw an opportunity to ‘weaken' Europe. “The leaders of the Leave campaign rather fell into it" 👇

brexit was just the Beginning return to tribalism Epstein and Britain 👇 youtube.com/shorts/2NqTF...

The bulk of those misled are now dead

Anyone still backing the Brexit catastrophe can only be a corrupt politician, a paid asset of a foreign hostile state, or someone so stupid they'll surely just stop breathing soon from sheer incompetence. Definitely not a fight worth anyone's time.

You'll never convince everyone of the folly of Brexit. Pointless battles aren't worth fighting. If they don't get it by now, they never will. Instead, concentrate on those who have realised that Brexit is a disaster and would like to go back to being in the EU.

If you still think Brexit is a good idea...

The Tories are accusing Burnham of being divisive by revealing Russian interference in the Brexit referendum. You bet it is! It divides politicians into those who've been lying and covering up for a decade, and those willing to face the truth. He should take it as a compliment.

It seems ridiculous to me that low paid pensioners are being kept out of the lowest tax bracket, but not low paid workers. Surely the personal allowance threshold should be raised in lock step for everyone? Lock it to the state pension and increment it accordingly.

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

👉 He says the British public must be the bosses. 👍 2016 asked whether Britain should leave the EU. It did NOT ask whether we should leave the Single Market, end freedom of movement, leave the customs union, or adopt the hardest possible version of Brexit. Those choices came later.

So if Britain 🇬🇧 now wants to move beyond those Brexit red lines, the democratic answer is obvious: Ask the public what they want now. Not what politicians claim they meant ten years ago.

Anyone else’s fed up with tatty, cheap flags flying in tatters from every damn lamppost? Surely it’s time to decouple flags from council owned streetlights. I won’t be lucky as I’m in a Reform led council. But it must be time to tidy up Our country post Reform. They’re finished.

Our polling shows 63% of people support freedom of movement with the EU. Andy Burnham's catching up with the country on this. Watch @pimlicat.bsky.social on Politics Live 👇

FFS BBC

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Occasional reminder that whatever Nigel Farage & Brexiters claim, the EU Referendum wasn't "the greatest democratic exercise in British history". 1992 election had a higher turnout number / percentage 1992 Total votes cast: 33,614,074 turnout: 77.7% EUref Total votes cast: 33,577,342 turnout: 72.21%

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Brexit was won on lies

Meanwhile the far right are offering a return to imperial units. Who knew that telling the truth about Brexit would be a radical act of political genius?

“Because it was a shite idea, enacted by shitty people with a shit outcome.”

God she is such a Karen. The outrage in how she asks him this is infuriating. I caught a clip earlier of her accusing him of spooking the country by recommending people have an emergency stash of essentials. You can just tell that the only viewers they get now are miserable old boomers.

"Because Susanna the media & tabloids lied to us, continue to lie & it's time for us to recognise it as the utter bin-fire it is"

Susanna Reid, "Why have you brought up rejoining the European Union?" Andy Burnham, "We have a decade of experience now looking back at Brexit, and I don't think it has played out as people said at the time"

What do the 'only by leaving the ECHR can we stop the boats' crowd have to say...

Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you @premnsikka.bsky.social The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people Japan: 12.6 Germany: 7.7 Austria: 6.6 France: 5.4 OECD average: 4.2 This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

Hillary Clinton too sees Trump/Russia/Epstein:

We could well get our old deal back if a public inquiry exposes that the whole saga was unconstitutional and full of Russian interference.

🤩 This is a significant moment. Burnham says openly that Brexit has weakened 🇬🇧 economy, failed to deliver promised control over immigration and produced a harder Brexit than many people were led to expect in 2016. On rejoin EU: “I would like to see that happen in my lifetime.” And next 👇 🧵

Sorry but why is it Meghan Markle’s fault that her father downloaded (allegedly) child pornography?

Wait.... 29% of Reform voters would consider rejoining the EU... and 16% don't know And a mere 51% would vote to stay out. My giddy aunt - this is bonkers
