Not so . I travelled all around Europe as a 17 year old staying in hostels. It was the best experience, education ever. I still love Europe to this day .

Luckily, there’s no chance the Tories will win the next election… and their threat to leave the ECHR will be one reason why. They’re incapable of facing up to the damage they’ve already done with Brexit. And now they want to huff out of our human rights framework to abuse power more easily. Ffs.

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

Somebody ripped out the capacity of the British state to make and do things, and now we can’t even fight wars. If only we had some idea who was to blame

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

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

Lest we forget old Hunt who in 2018 had to apologise after failing to declare his 50% interest in a company that purchased seven luxury flats. The flats were worth over £3m the purchase was Hunt and his wife jointly

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

Foundation stone for Alfred Waterhouse's Manchester Town Hall was laid on this day 1868. Took almost 10 years to erect at a cost approaching £1m, described as ‘unequalled for size, completeness and adaptability for its purpose among the municipal buildings of Europe’.

📣 I can’t stress enough how important it is to #VoteBlue and #VoteEarly. Especially in MI, TX, FL, AK, ME, NH, GA with close Senate races‼️ Early voting is harder to sabotage with voter purges and convenient glitches‼️ Vote early so lines won’t be long for those who can’t‼️ #NoKings #Resistance

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

2026: Jeremy Hunt says we can't have Freedom of Movement with the EU because young people will not have jobs 2019: Jeremy Hunt saying he would tell people they have to lose their job because of Brexit, but he would do so "with a heavy heart"

And true to form, Farage and the Tories (Philp) respond by being totally dishonest about it… Freedom of movement with the EU requires EU citizenship. Immigration requires visas. Talk of ‘betrayal’ and ‘uncontrolled migration’ is the mark of a liar or a fool. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

18 days - UK gas storage capacity, measured against average annual demand 106 days - EU average storage capacity, measured the same way Lack of storage means more exposure to price volatility. Why didn't the UK plan better?
