Big UK banks pocketed £29.2bn in six months while our bills went up! A windfall tax on bank profits would raise £19bn for our schools & NHS. But banks and their lobbyists are trying to hard to block this. Sign the petition today tell John Healey to #TaxtheBanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Gosh, I wonder what could possibly have driven this person over the edge so they're found dead a week after being solidly the lead story in the news cycle despite unproven alegations? Black person MAY have exagerated a CV? ...that's the story. #WhoIsTheBBCNewsEditor?
And this is the top story? Unproven allegations of an exaggerated CV? What could the #BBC have against this black professor at Cambridge who has already resigned I wonder? Can't fathom it...

10 years after the Brexit vote. UK economy is significantly smaller than it would otherwise have been. Trade has suffered. Business investment and productivity growth have stalled. Families are on average thousands of pounds a year worse off.

To those who are still peddling the line that the EU would never want us back. This is nonsense. Polish PM Tusk said he was “dreaming of a Breturn”; Finnish President Stubb “Brexit was a colossal mistake & UK should rejoin”; Spain’s PM Sanchez, would “definitely like to have the UK back on board”

>88,800 now. 🚀 Lovely. I think we’re going to do it.
💥 70,000 signatures! 💥 ...and the petition closes on June 8th. Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful. All hands to the pump! Sign and share, share, share! 👇
How to say 'We're a declining nation' without actually saying it out loud. #RejoinEU www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Yep! Excellent! I see some berk tried to disconnect the screen. Glad the police protected it. Sometimes the truth is inconvenient to racists and nationalists. #FreedomOfSpeech
Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

🏦 The Bank of England reported in October 2025 that Brexit had led to a 3-4% hit in employment. 📈 To boost opportunities, Britain must foster growth in our economy. 🇬🇧🇪🇺The easiest way to get growth is to align our goods and services with the EU.
Don't forget we have a march to #RejoinEU coming up on 20th June. See you there!
Brits would decisively support rejoining the European Union if a new referendum were held, according to the latest polling from YouGov, with clear majorities emerging across all age groups – especially among younger voters www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bri...

We don’t have a functioning democracy when the people who lied to our faces to ‘get Brexit done’ are never held to account for the damage they’ve caused… and, worse still, are rewarded for life, for cynically or moronically selling our country out. They deserve nothing but our contempt. Forever.
Toby Young, Matthew Elliott, Daniel Moylan, Claire Fox, Daniel Hannan, Michael Gove, Therese Coffey (a Brexit convert), Paul Goodman, John Moynihan, Ruth Lea, Stewart Jackson, Michael Hintze, Charles Moore, David Frost, Theo Agnew; & now John Redwood. Rewarded for the Brexit calamity with peerages.

🚨BOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed. Let’s keep going! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

good to see this Switch Party? Stand Again! petition has doubled in the past 24 hours petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party When an MP decides they want to defect to another party, a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their elected official. #ukpol

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
