Reform are gaining shareholders not voters, just like Farage's coup on the British people with his #brexit. We need to change the way we elect politicians. We need to ban non residents from holding office in government and we need to ban this shambles of allowing wealthy people lobbying government.

Rachel Reeves to make new push for greater single-market access Some member states, led by France, expect the UK to pay into the EU budget in return

β€œReeves has been ratcheting up the rhetoric on closer EU relations which she described as the β€œbiggest prize” in trade”

If only we’d acknowledged this BEFORE we threw it away in a fit of arrogant prejudice. Getting back in the room is far harder than flouncing off

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK.

We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump.

Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Trade barriers, red tape, and border checks - Brexit has put severe pressure on businesses across the UK. A closer relationship with the EU is key to fixing the damage.

Explosive weapons used in populated areas kill civilians β€” about 90% of the casualties, according to the Mines Advisory Group.

The government must press the US to uphold international law and do everything possible to protect civilians.

As Gordon Brown pointed out in the article,we have to make sure international law is upheld and hold to account those who use our schools and hospitals as war targets endangering the lives within. Just as happened on day 1 of the Israel Us war

Families given a week to decide whether to leave UK voluntarily plead for more time Home Office targets 150 families whose asylum claims were refused and offers them up to Β£40,000 to leave or face forcible removal

Gordon Brown is absolutely right here, I could not agree with him more. He should also have a chat with Mahmood & the Home Office about the ill treatment of children as she is proposing that children be handcuffed & deported from the UK at speed, another disgrace: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Funny thing about this is they didn’t need β€œvetting” clearance when memory or at least google should’ve told them he was a dodgy geezer who took money from or tried to get passports for dodgy people and was fired from government for that TWICE

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both β€˜economic migrants’ *and* β€˜welfare scroungers’?
