Brexit was the greatest act of economic self-harm in our country’s history, leaving Londoners nearly £3,400 worse off on average.

A new idea on the possible relation between UK and EU: Switzerland plus, with UK also involved in some decision making in EU. Too soon to say if its good or bad - we need to chew on this - but new ideas should always be welcome.

Me in Yorkshire Bylines …on citizens assemblies: “Pick a manifesto position now and you spend three years defending it against the slings and arrows of outrageous claims… …better to begin by enriching the national conversation with the real-life experiences of our citizens and businesses”

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

This is testament to No.10's frankly astonishing degree of political competence. A policy which was branded electoral suicide 48 hours ago now showing signs of robust popularity.

Al Jazeera did a lovely summary of the Manchester City cheating scandal.

Major opinion poll shows that every constituency in the UK except four would vote to reverse Brexit and rejoin the EU

A new mega poll by YouGov reveals that an overwhelming majority of constituencies want to rejoin the EU. Only 4 constituencies were not sure. It’s time to put EU membership on the table. https://bestforbritain.org/uk-membership-most-popular-eu-policy-in-all-uk-seats-bar-four-megapoll-finds/

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

Pollution levels in London after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Just copy & share everywhere please. Absolutely thumping.

Amazing mural in Southend. Artist still working on it in bottom left of pic.

As I board the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, I’m reminded yet again of three things about the EU: 1) You don’t sacrifice any of your national identity or culture by being part of the EU. Estonia remains Estonia. Finland remains Finland 2) Schengen is great. 3) Brexit was and is shit.

🚨 @pimlicat.bsky.social: "The Lib Dems have the right diagnosis but only half the cure. "Bilateral sticking plasters may offer temporary relief but will never deliver automatic access to the EU’s systems and the economic growth that comes from being in, not out."

A decade after the Brexit vote, the UK has lost its trading edge in goods faster and more broadly than any G7 peer. How can we boost goods exports and regain our trading edge?

💣 UEFA eviscerates Gianni Infantino. "The World Cup is not for sale." "This is not merely a profound failure of leadership, but an abdication of FIFA’s duty as the custodian of world football." "We will never lend this model our legitimacy."

It is two years today since this dimwit gave us the most hilarious demonstration of karma in history.

More dog owners need to see this..... 😂 😂

ESTARÍA BIEN SABER HOY, ANTES DEL PARTIDO, QUÉ SANCIÓN LE PONE LA FIFA POR ENSEÑAR EL CARTEL DE "MALVINAS ARGENTINAS" A BEGOÑA GÓMEZ.

“Pro-Europeans should make the positive case for the euro rather than trying to avoid the debate” @nialloconghaile.bsky.social is spot on here & good to read @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social positive response & know he plans a new video to address the issue. eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

The greatest Mexico v England tweets you will ever read. 😂 As you were.

"The average Briton's wealth has fallen by more than a fifth over the past 5 years". If only there were an obvious reason why. I can't think of anything significant happening around 5 years ago that could make Britain so vulnerable. Let's make the person that made Brexit happen our Prime Minister.

Killer stats from @theobserveruk.bsky.social’s Rory Smith

It’s fitting on the 50 year anniversary of former hottest June day in #London which held for half a century, we set a new record only for second time this week. 2026 has broken 1976 record June highest temperature by 1.6C in May the old 1953 record by 3.3C. This is not normal. (1/2)

The people have continued to speak for 10 years now. Brexit was a huge mistake, it has robbed us of our rights and opportunities and damaged the country. We need a government that will rejoin the SM and a CU as a matter of urgency. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million Brexit reward. When he promised we would be better off, he clearly only meant himself. 10 years on, it's time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe, starting by joining the single market.

El Brexit fue un error: los británicos admiten que quieren volver a la UE Las dificultades económicas y la falta de confianza en EE.UU. impulsan la nostalgia de la UE. El 70% de los que eran demasiado jóvenes para votar quieren volver www.lavanguardia.com/internaciona...

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

In Atlanta during the FIFA World Cup match between Spain and Cape Verde, a heartwarming moment unfolded when a Spain fan noticed a Cape Verde supporter and gestured asking if he wanted to swap jerseys. The Cape Verde fan enthusiastically agreed, and the two exchanged shirts before sharing a long hug

The Brexit vote 10 years on - and the legacy we live with every day. Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨🚨All agree with this and I thought for this quite some time and I do not see any real meaningful option for the UK in a long-term perspective left than reopening the highly divisive "rejoin" debate- there seems to be no other realistic alternatives available. And this debate needs to start now. /1

Immigration make Britain brilliant

👏 "I don't know how anybody can vote for Reform considering how much of a disaster Brexit has been." "And Farage is the architect of Brexit, that's been a disaster and if he was to be in the government it would be a disaster as well."

Please retweet.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.
