It's a peculiar enthusiaism, I admit, but this is a great morning for fans of right-wing media contortions. The desperation to find negatives in an obviously successful trip is a joy to behold. Even for those of us deeply discomfited by the whole event.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!

A few concessions but we’ve still got HARD BREXIT!

Will someone in Brexit Labour please explain why they’re defying common sense and not rejoining the Single Market and the Customs Union?

Nigel Farage as Prime Minister? Be careful what you wish for - Andy Brown It is said that when the Gods wish to punish us, they begin by answering our prayers. Which is another way of saying that we should always be careful what we wish for. That is particularly wise when i...

Anyone thinking of voting for Farage needs to take a long hard look at how much private health care costs and whether they can afford it. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion...

It's a tough call to decide whether it's the cruelty, the stupidity or the tastelessness that is the most offensive in the post.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

It's quite clear the Tories saw COVID primarily as a way to feed vast amounts of cash to their mates:

Pro-EU moderate Nicușor Dan wins Romanian presidential election stunner Bucharest mayor fends off challenge from hard-right firebrand George Simion, who conceded defeat after initially declaring himself the winner.

Thank goodness Romania elected a centrist president in a major surprise after an intense campaign in which voters looked likely to propel another hard-right populist to lead a large European country.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

Just some of what Farage’s Brexit Party now Reform have delivered to you + much much more & the rise of racism, fascism, platformed by a complicit media.

sad to see the BBC Chris Mason asking a sly question to the PM on the thin agreement with the EU, he'd be more at home at GBN

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.

Labour can win every one of these arguments: on trade, on fish (sigh), on youth mobility. It has the public on its side.

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?

The Independent. Time for a wealth tax, say Patriotic Millionaires as Rich List shows £772bn in the hands of just 350 families. Call comes after the the 2025 Sunday Times Rich List revealed the annual catalogue of Britain’s wealthiest people.

The UK is one of the wealthiest countries in history.

But that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, where it's used to buy yachts and private jets instead of building up public services.

A 1% wealth tax on net assets over £10 million could raise £10 billion a year.

You can taste the fear in the air today. The Brexit brigade looks rattled, like they just realised the grown-ups are back in charge. #ukpolitics

Kemi Badenoch tweets that we must not lose control of our borders through uncapped migration systems and is worried that is what starmer is negotiating with the EU.

Kemi Badenoch tweets that we must not lose control of our borders through uncapped migration systems and is worried that is what starmer is negotiating with the EU.

So, just to be clear, you want us to avoid any situation similar to when we were in the EU, when net immigration was less than half what it is now?
