Today’s growth stats show it is slowing. So which politician now has the courage to say the bleedin obvious ? #Brexit has been bad for trade, bad for growth, bad for our economy and all would be significantly boosted if we at the very least joined the #EU custom union.

The case for the UK to join the EU is getting stronger by the day. If you’re onboard, make sure you join the >23,400 members of European Movement UK. This is how it builds. —> europeanmovement.co.uk/membe…

Pensions Minister @EmmaforWycombe “hopes” to update Parliament on progress on #WASPI compensation “in the coming weeks”. That progress needs to be significant, with a date for a scheme to start. express.co.uk/finance/person…

Lord Dubs has credited Lineker for using his platform to support those fleeing war and persecution in their own countries.

‘He tried to steal the last election and subvert the entire democratic process?’ @mrjamesob wonders why, despite all the things Trump has done, none of this "mattered enough" to impact his victory.

The damage Brexit is wreaking on Britain’s economy is only just beginning @Independent Brexit has wrecked the creative sector & left businesses drowning in post-Brexit red tape. Government estimates it will reduce UK’s trade with the world by 15%, & reduce the economy by 4%.

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

'A majority of the popular vote in America do not care at all about liberal democratic norms.' @mrjamesob is 'alarmed' by the volume of US voters that have overlooked Donald Trump's previous convictions.

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️

Never has this been truer. Labour needs to step up, wake up, show up, and get us back on the path to EU membership, in whatever form can be agreed. Blair was right then and is right now. Come on, sort yourselves out. Your economic growth doesn’t exist.

The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.

RIP 299,000 @WASPI_Campaign women who died waiting for pension compensation @RachelReevesMP you MUST compensate the 3.8 million #waspi women - the #1950swomen who are still waiting for their @PHSOmbudsman approved compensation for loss of up to 6 years state pension. ACT NOW!
Amongst the amazing noise made by #WASPI protesters, the traffic, sirens and crowds in Parliament Square last week, we had a minute's silence for the friends we have all lost. Remembering the 299,000 women who didn't make it to see compensation for government failures. @EmmaforWycombe @leicesterliz @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour

Starmer admits Brexit screwed us: “Starmer also said the UK could have led Europe-wide operational efforts to tackle people-smuggling gangs if Brexit had not happened. “When we were in the EU, we could lead on operations, and at the moment we can’t.”” inews.co.uk/news/starmer-bre…

I have heard this morning that I am through to the last five for the election of the Chancellor of Oxford University. I am grateful to and want to thank all those who have supported me. The final vote will be in the week starting on 18 November. On a day when I am holding my breath that Trump and his vitriol do not succeed, I count myself fortunate to be part of such a pleasant and polite electoral process.
