This from today’s i.
If there was another referendum, we would start the process of rejoining, even if ALL the ‘don’t knows’ and ‘refused to answer’ were to vote Stay Out.
Are you listening @Keir_Starmer?

Dear @Keir_Starmer,
Please move the laws around political & campaign financing to the top of your list
Or…
Expect 1 term that ends in handing power of this country to a foreign billionaire proxy PM and his little puppet
Yours,
The people of this country paying attention.

Have you seen @DoctorChrisVT’s riveting, game-changing, terrifying documentary, Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Eating? I’ve just caught up with it on @BBCiPlayer. If you’re remotely interested in how what you eat affects your health, you can’t miss this. And it’s a GREAT watch!

Rory Stewart, "We're in an unbelievable hole.. 9.2 million economically inactive people.. That's 1 in 7 aged under 65 who aren't children"
"We're complete European outliers.. The rest of Europe sorted itself after covid, we didn't"
"Nobody has a clue of why it's happening, it's really wierd"
"1 in 20 on disability benefits in Windsor.. 1 in 6 are on disability benefits in Blackpool.. So it has some connection to poverty and region"
"Part of the problem might be that we've created a really rubbish working environment.. Jobs are poorly paid.. Stressful.. People in the UK work longer hours than they do in Europe, for less money"
"So its not surprising that 9.2 million people are not keen to re enter the workforce"

To deal effectively with China - and Trump - UK needs to be aligned with, and ultimately back inside, the EU. Despite the EU's flaws, that's where economic power on a similar scale to US and China lies.

security
trade
academic cooperation
youth mobilit
AI
the environment

Ancient Greek thinkers like Socrates and Plato hated democratic elections.
They saw democracy as part of an endless cycle of regimes — destined to slip into mob rule.
But Polybius knew how to break the cycle... (thread) 🧵

This is now ridiculous. UK news shows have been repeatedly citing the OBR’s figures on growth but no one has pointed out to viewers the same report lays bare the Catastrophic cost of Brexit!
We face poor growth & a record tax burden. If you think UK news shows need to step up RT

#BoycottAmazon — pass it on.
The only thing these people understand is hard cash — starve them of their life-blood and they fold.

Really, @realDonaldTrump?
Trump falsely claims Kamala Harris is lying about him wanting to end the Affordable Care Act.
Here is video of Trump himself during this campaign saying he will be “getting rid of Obamacare” if elected.

The Con Govt knew exactly how bad our public finances are - they cut & run leaving Labour to clear up their mess knowing Labour would have to make the difficult choices they chose to dodge. The Cons think we will fall for their spin & vote them back in 2030.Lets prove them wrong!
