Brexit can never work, and the UK is far too small to be its own market, if we were the USA or China it would be workable. But it simply isn't and we need to be in the Single Market, or we will suffer forever. It's why everyone else is.

The suicide rate among asylum seekers in Home Office accommodation has doubled in the past four years. Something is clearly very wrong with the way we are treating people. The Bibby Stockholm barge is a symbol of that failure.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Late last night the Israel defence forces said their killing of 7 aid workers was a mistake, a result of misidentification" "The Israeli Prime Minister said it was unintended. But it has led to more questions about how the attack was carried out" "And more suffering for hundreds of thousands of desperate people in Gaza, whose food supply has now been cancelled" "The Israelis claim an investigation will be independent. But the Spanish government said their explanation is inadequate. And Polish authorities are reportedly opening a murder investigation" "In Britain the government is under pressure to stop weapons exports to Israel. And publish its legal advice about whether International Humanitarian Law has been broken, in the killing of more than 30,000 people in Gaza" #C4News

Then stick it in your manifesto and call a GE Oh and a note for both yourself and Sunak as both a sill informed as each other - it is not a foreign Court. It is a Court we are part of and we helped initiate. One further point it will not stop the boats

Sovereignty seems to be the hardest word…’ Trainee politician Rishi Sunak pretending he’d take the U.K. out of the ECHR in the name of border security when he can’t even manage to remove the whip from the clearly radio rental gobshite Suella Braverman teapawt.net/BestForBritain/status/…

An Express poll needs more input (it's attached to an article about the need to "protect our flag"). Link below goes straight to the poll. Ignore the request for an email address. xd.wayin.com/display/contain…

Rejoin is at 61% in our WeThink #Brexit tracker and has been at around 60% for over a year What it shows is voters are aware of the economic impacts of Brexit and many would like a different relationship with the EU which is economically beneficial Will any party address this?

Time for this Ostrich to lift her head out of the sand! Time for the MET to take action! Justice is long overdue!

There is no one more deserved of prison than this woman. Yes for perverting the course of justice, lying to Select Committees etc but for the sheer misery she caused to be inflicted unjustifiably on so many people. There should probably be a new offence created just for her.

The ECHR was founded after WW2 to prevent slavery, dictatorship and genocide happening in Europe again. There is no irony that a genocide supporting dictator who wants slavery is trying to cancel it. He has to.

She is a mere backbencher - so WTAF does she think she is doing - apart from a leadership photoshoot #ToriesOut636 #SunakOut526 #GeneralElectionNow #Sunackered #UnitedAgainstTheTories #Starmer4PM #ToryChaos
Today I met with senior military & political figures in Israel to discuss the war in Gaza & the tragic strike on the aid convoy. My thoughts & prayers go out to the family & friends of those killed. This was a terrible mistake for which Israel has rightly apologised.

Conservatives are on course for a worse result at the general election than 1997, with Labour set to take more than 400 seats according to a detailed seat-by-seat poll Jeremy Hunt would be highest profile of 11 cabinet casualties among 210 losses thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-…

The State, this Govt, is a corrupt organisation that will do anything to retain power to avoid being held accountable for their actions over the last r4 yrs; ...and paying their damn taxes
Identity cards make us the servants of the state rather than its masters.

Rishi Sunak happily wrote off £4.3bn in covid loans. And now he's posing as a 'financial adviser' in online Tory ads?

Left: Rishi Sunak, "We need an investigation into what happened.. And closer work with aid agencies to make sure things like this don't happen again" Right: Mark Austin, "These were clearly marked vehicles.. They were deconflicted which means the Israelis knew where they were and when" How much 'closer work' can an aid agency do, other than being in touch with the Israeli military, telling them where they are and when? Even that didn't stop them from being attacked. What does Rishi Sunak expect?
