The audience member is completely right. When we talk about the damage Brexit has caused, we often focus on the economic harm and the damage to our international standing. Both are important, but we've lost so much more than that. Let's win back those opportunities by rejoining the EU. ♥️

George Monbiot is right: the best option is to rejoin the EU. And the reality is that the process doesn't have to take long. Experts have confirmed that the UK could rejoin within a single Parliament.

On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

Confirmation here that a Single Market deal with the EU could be completed "in months"💥 It would include free movement, regulatory alignment, and access to the EU’s electricity market, space programmes, Erasmus, Digital Europe research programme and the European Centre for Disease Prevention." 🇬🇧🇪🇺

theguardian.comUK could quickly re-enter EU with ‘Switzerland plus’ deal, senior MEP saysBernd Lange, who was involved in Brexit talks, says deal could be negotiated within months of any decision to deepen ties

Pretty sure that everything started going tits up after David Bowie died. He was holding the sinews together I’m sure of it. Heroes innit.

French President Emmanuel Macron on the UK rejoining the EU: “If the British want to take a first step in this direction, I think it is very good news both for their country and for Europeans.”

A shouting at the radio episode this morning as a bellend from the Adam Smith Institute talks bollocks about electoral reform in BBC Radio 5. Apparently we can tactically vote so there’s no need to change the voting system. That’s the whole point you ducking doofus!

Prepare Britain to rejoin the EU now, Sadiq Khan tells Burnham. The Mayor of London says a case for rejoining the bloc must be made now rather than sprung on voters at the last minute before another election. #RejoinEU inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Time for this clown to get arrested and locked up.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

The EU has delivered greater stability across the continent, greater mobility for its citizens, and a single market that gives Europe global economic weight. An honour to hear President von der Leyen address the European Parliament today as we build a deeper partnership for the future.

I'm serious about this. I genuinely think this could work. Would a Huge Rant or Fergal Fishy please step forward volunteer to front the campaign? Or maybe a Joe Pasquale, to lend it the dignity our politics deserves?

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy. I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long. So how do we fix it? My plan:

Labour has banned peaceful protest for Palestine. It should not be hard for Andy Burnham to condemn thugs.

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social

Asked if the Government considers the masked thugs swarming British ports “far right” Andy Burnham’s spokesman replies that “it's an operational matter for the police to set out their response to the protests on the ground. So I will leave them to respond to that.”

This is very much my magnum opus, represents days and days of traumatic work, includes clips which, I promise, you're not aware of, and one astounding moment of actual far right fake news being created - live! So, what I'm saying is, you better listen, share, and shower me with furs and jewellery.

So it looks like Reform policy chief James Orr has straight up broken the law here. It's also exactly the same crime Farage has been accused of re: George Cottrell donating via his mother and which Parliament is currently investigating.

Undercover filming shows Nigel Farage celebrating illegal foreign donations Footage shows a plan to break electoral law by funnelling money from a US ‘businessman’ through a UK donor The donations funded a series of widely reported polls secretly commissioned by Reform

I can't remember a clearer smoking gun than that Channel 4 News footage. Nigel Farage and his senior aides all filmed discussing apparent plans to break the law by funnelling foreign money into British politics, plans which at least partly went ahead. A criminal investigation surely must follow

This is a first rate investigation of Reform’s dodgy dealings by C4 News. Would be good if other broadcasters did similar.
