Burnham's position.
Ukraine shouldn't be taken over by its neighbour Russia. It's undemocratic.
Canada shouldn't be taken over by neighbour the US. It's undemocratic.
Diito for Twaiwan and China.
But the UK can be taken over by the EU even though it democratically rejected the EU

Julian has been religiously updating this chart each month, which draws data from official EU and UK sources, to continue to show that UK food inflation has been *less* in the UK since Brexit than it has in the EU.
So why do people still think Brexit caused food inflation?

By early Sunday am, there were conflicting reports about the ideology of the Krakow attacker & it was clear nobody really knew.
Yet @BBCNews spent the whole of Sunday amplifying reports he was influenced by “far right” ideology.
The "far right" reports came from the Polish government (something on which they now seem to be backtracking).
However, given their ongoing constitutional crisis including the government consistently trying to link the President to the "far right", the BBC's framing suggests a very partial editorial stance.
At best it was really poor journalism.

Timely warning from Norway's PM that if Britain doesn't want to be a 'rule taker' - and our new Makerfield polling is clear on that - then we should stay out of the EU's Single Market.
(This also applies, of course, to 'dynamic alignment' under the so-called 'reset'.)

The Polish interior Minister has now backtracked & publicly apologised for spreading fake news about the shooter being far right. They're still investigating motivation/ideology but now admit it was said carelessly
UK media outlets still reporting the lie

The Home Office is allowing tens of thousands of the very worst foreign criminals to wander the streets of Britain.
They are failing in their duty to keep the British public safe.

You only need to look at Swinney's hysterical bluster and weasel words to see @HarrietCross_MP has him bang to rights.
You can celebrate a Sikh festival and Remembrance Sunday on the same day. But shouting "Bandi Chhor Divas!" during the 2 minute silence is cringe and disrespectful.
An SNP government so desperate to look inclusive, instead exposed its extraordinary cultural ignorance. Thousands of Sikh soldiers fought and died alongside British servicemen in two World Wars. Their sacrifice is part of our shared national history. Remembrance Sunday belongs to them too.
As people of every colour, faith and background fell silent to remember those who died for our freedom. The SNP govt's official account wanted to make it extremely clear to everyone that it had a different message to send.
What they posted at 11am was so naff, it might as well have said "Remembrance Sunday is for everyone else. You minorities can have your own little celebrations." to match the levels of extreme crassness and condescension.
Ethnic minorities don't need the SNP's performative gestures or patronising crumbs.
This is the poisonous consequence of politicians who see people as separate groups to be managed and patronised, rather than fellow citizens united by a common country and shared traditions.
The SNP talks endlessly about inclusion while displaying a remarkable inability to understand what actually unites us.
John Swinney laid a wreath on Sunday. Good. Now he should explain how the Government he leads managed to get this so spectacularly wrong.

The UK growth rate fell after we joined the EEC, slowed more when they imposed the single market on us, and slowed again in the EU after the 2008 banking crash. The proposed EU Re set will slow our growth further.
Maureen Brown retweeted
EU Re set is likely to harm our GDP. EU Re Set is likely to increase our EU goods imports more than exports as they export so much more to us. That means less farming and industry in the UK. What does government propose to prevent this?

Nigel Farage says it's saving us over £200 million a week by not being in the EU.
It's absolutely scandalous that Andy Burnham is over in Brussels signing up to God knows what, and there has not been a single mention of how much this is going to cost us when we are already in economic uncertainty.
Before we left, the UK's average net contribution to the EU budget was more than £9 billion a year.
