The loss of freedom of movement due to Brexit affects far more than just people. Losing the four freedoms- goods, people, capital, and services has wide-ranging consequences.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

❌ Paul Kohler MP: "Brexit was sold as a way to cut red tape, liberate businesses and create an agile economy." 📉 "The reality has been the opposite. Instead of removing barriers, it has erected new ones. British firms now face extra paperwork when trading with our nearest and largest market."

As Brexit returns to the spotlight, I wanted to share my thoughts on the UK's future relationship with Europe Brexit was a disaster for businesses of all sizes, including for many in Wimbledon. We must begin the work of rebuilding ties immediately. Read here: www.politics.co.uk/2026/10/brex...

💧 Water is an essential public service, not an opportunity for profit. We need a system that puts people and the environment first. It’s time to take the profit out of water.

The desperate Farage bleat about ‘a few bad apples’ betrays a complete misunderstanding of the actual proverb, which is ‘One bad apple spoils the whole barrel.’ In other words, a single toxic person can contaminate an entire group. If there’s more than one bad apple in your barrel, you’re screwed.

These guys will do anything to kill reform. They're partisans. They don't give a damn that FPTP is mangling our electoral system or that it could hand total executive control to Nigel Farage. They just care that a few times a century Labour has a majority. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Trump: "I think you heard about the oil deal with Russia. That is a big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you."

Utter barbarism. Like watching the reverse evolution of man into beast.

Obviously laughable. But a reminder of how these people would behave in power: Financially benefiting the journalists and pollsters who do their bidding, legally pursuing those who do not.

🚨 BREAKING: An internal investigation at Reform UK has found Nigel Farage’s close aides broke no laws over the undercover documentary Farage now intends to “aggressively” sue the journalists

The motion passed at Green Party Conf' actively undermines a 2-state solution, and does not address the rising threats of Islamophobia and Antisemitism here in the UK. This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe.

Agreed. Many green party members are there because they are passionate environmentalists - they would be at home with the party of 🌎Climate & Nature Bill ☀️Sunshine Bill 🦦UNESCO Chalk Streams Bill And a party where our support for Palestine, alongside a secure Israel has been unwavering 🕊️

Here’s an idea… Why don’t we try facts first, frothing later? Let the Fairford investigation finish before anyone decides what it means …and for goodness sake, don’t believe a word from Trump and his lot. Me on @jeremyvineon5 this morning…

What a brilliant session this was, with excellent contributions from all of the panel and especially Naomi @pimlicat.bsky.social in the chair.

Dickie is right, securing money from two billionaires automatically means we are innocent of all dodgy financial dealings. Because as we all know, money trumps the police, National Crime Agency and the Standards Commissioner.

Reform has now taken tens of millions of pounds from crypto billionaires at exactly the same time as promising to legislate to slash taxes on crypto sales in half, potentially saving them hundreds of millions

Farage's response to the police investigation of Reform funds was to bugger off to the US. Clacton must be insane. You were offered a perfectly good bin. Instead, you voted for the rubbish. Remember his BrexitbrokeBritain.
