Alastair Campbell points out that Brexit knocked 6-8% off GDP and the same con men who sold it on lies are now making more false promises. I must say it's a bit unfair to use facts and information to make your point.

Badenoch has forgotten that Thatcher sold off the family silver, Cameron ruined public services with austerity, Johnson ruined the economy for a generation with his Brexit deal. Then he pissed £billions up the wall with dodgy Covid loans and PPE contracts.
Then we had Mad Lizzy!

“Crime is spiralling out of control under Labour” says Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp.
It’s a lie.
According to the new Crime Survey:
-violent crime DOWN
-knife crime DOWN
-robbery DOWN
-overall crime DOWN
-shoplifting DOWN
Yet Tory/Reform liars say it’s surging…

Ex Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan ripped apart Margaret Thatcher's privatisation while she was doing it at a Tory Party conference, "Selling off the family silver" she's is just selling off the nations assets because she has run out of money.

🚨Conservative shadow minister’s nearly £2 MILLION expenses bill draws scrutiny
Helen Whately, the Conservatives’ Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, has claimed almost £2 million in parliamentary expenses over the past decade. These payments come from the public purse—funded by the taxes of ordinary hard-working people. Most of the total covers staff salaries, but around £300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation, even though she lives roughly 50 miles from London in Kent.
Party leader Kemi Badenoch claims £2,700 a month toward rent on a six-bedroom farmhouse in her Essex constituency, within the rules for an MP with three children. She has also faced claims she once sought taxpayer funding for a family holiday flight, which officials refused.
Critics say the sums sit uncomfortably beside Conservative calls to tighten welfare; supporters note the claims follow standard IPSA rules for MPs

I’ve just watched A Year In Reform. It was like watching Harry Enfield & Chums. Farage has united every misfit, malcontent and knob in Britain. Well done ITV & god help us if the useless Farage & his collection of morons ever get anywhere near government.

📊 The 2016 Brexit electorate no longer exists.
Peter Kellner has updated the sums using YouGov and ONS data.
Since 2016:
🔹 Around 3.8m Leave voters have died, against 2.1m Remain voters.
🔹 Around 7m new voters have reached voting age, overwhelmingly pro-European.
🔹 Around 5m voters have changed their minds 👉roughly three-quarters of them moving from Leave to Rejoin.
His estimate of how Britain would vote now:
🇪🇺 REJOIN: 20.0m 👉 63%
🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 11.8m 👉 37%
A majority of almost 9 million.
Brexit happened. Britain has lived with it for a decade.
But democracy does not freeze the electorate in 2016 forever.
The question is what Britain wants now not what it indicated in 2016.
📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely.
This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows:
• 5 million 2016 voters have died
• New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1
• 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin
• Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m
➡️ An 8 MILLION majority for Rejoin.
Britain is now a pro-EU country.
The only people keeping Brexit alive are politicians who benefit from the damage.

An empty building burns down in France and there is non-stop front page news, global outrage, wall to wall coverage, etc.
A school full of children are incinerated alive in Gaza and not even a single report about it.
This is why the western decline will continue.

Why did the BBC say “questioned” rather than “interviewed”?
The answer is that the BBC launders Israel’s genocide, and does so to the point that they'll frame an interview with an anti-Zionist Jewish politician like it's a police interrogation.

Farage is now polling at the same level as Starmer before he resigned so why aren’t you advocating daily for Farage’s resignation? @ChrisMasonBBC @SamCoatesSky @bbc5live

If you just heard @BBCRadio4 #wato, you'd be unaware of Reform docu on ITV last night. Why is @BBCNews silent about extreme racism, misogyny & neo-nazi views of Reform elected reps, candidates, activists? Most odd given BBC's usual practice of giving unlimited airtime to Reform.

Thames Water is borrowing £2.4bn at 10% interest so it can keep funding dividends, even though bosses know it won't be able to repay the money when the company goes tits up. This is corrupt and the government should make it clear that taxpayers won't pick up the tab.

Today, I will mostly be in Plymouth to spout bollocks about the economy in an effort to distract attention from my dodgy financial dealings and the fact that my party is full of racists and perverts.

Can anyone remember the last time @BBCNews interviewed a Palestinian about their experience of the racism of Zionism? Having spent the last two weeks interviewing elderly Nakba survivors in Jordan, driven off their land in their teens because of their ethnicity and religion, I'd be happy to suggest some astonishingly articulate victims of Israeli racism who would be only too happy to tell their tragic stories of eviction, slaughter and dispossession. It is like reporting on the Civil Rights movement in the US and only interviewing outraged Whites

BBC impartiality.
The ONS says unemployment has fallen, but BBC Breakfast runs with the headline that job vacancies are down.
It's time Lisa Nandy did her job, got a grip on this organisation, and cleared out the Tory henchmen

Brexit is the only project I can think of where, ten years later, the people who sold it to us are still explaining why it’s somebody else’s fault.
