Can any nation afford to ignore the reality of economic self-harm? The London Economic reporting Makerfield—a 65% Leave seat—is turning its back on Brexit shows how public opinion has shifted. Why cling to populist myths when voters want Europe back? (1/2) 🤔 #RejoinEU

thelondoneconomic.comMakerfield has turned its back on Brexit - will the Burnham bounce lead us back to Europe?Makerfield voted Leave by 65%-35%. Now, Andy Burnham's constituents are having regrets and are open to his suggestions of a Brexit reverse.

In case you missed it ... The EU's Single Market for Energy facilitates the cheaper sale of surplus energy between member states BEFORE it reaches the open market. Thanks to Brexit, we're no longer a part of that scheme, which means we have to pay more than EU members do. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

@aodhanoriordain.bsky.social: "I hope that one day the UK will come back to the EU, and I hope that our sister party in the UK, the British Labour Party, would have the courage to believe in hope. Until they do, we must keep building a closer relationship and seek to turn hope into reality."

ONCE MORE, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. At no point does Reynolds say it is. What is more, a 'government spokesperson stressed there were no current discussions on freedom of movement'. So how does the BBC arrive at this headline?!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

EU FoM can unite the middle classes who might personally benefit, liberals who just like greater openness and (while as a brown person I regret this) those migration sceptics who didn't appreciate the rise in migration from non-European countries that came after Brexit.

Really worth noting that even in Red Wall constituencies which backed Leave, most *Labour* voters back rejoining the EU. Over 90% of Labour considerers back rejoin - opposition to EU membership is mainly coming from non-Labour voters in these seats. Was on Times Radio yesterday making this point.

Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

It’s exactly this kind of behaviour which undermines trust in Parliament and which I was keen to call out in last week’s House of Lords reform debate in Westminster Hall. Check out my contribution here ⬇️

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

“Farage & Jenrick were forced to face rows of empty seats as they set out a limp package of rehashed plans ahead of the Budget..The miserable turnout another sign of Reform’s sliding popularity…Ipsos this weekend put Labour on 32%, Tories on 24% & ReFUK on 20%..” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Can’t believe this. Speaking plainly, and honestly. Finally addressing the issue head on, instead of skirting around it, pretending Brexit is fine. Finally.

🤩 This is a significant moment. Burnham says openly that Brexit has weakened 🇬🇧 economy, failed to deliver promised control over immigration and produced a harder Brexit than many people were led to expect in 2016. On rejoin EU: “I would like to see that happen in my lifetime.” And next 👇 🧵

Reminder: Trump and Netanyahu ready to reignite war with Iran days before Israel's election. Netanyahu wants a war to save his political career, with Trump willing to explode global gas prices again, kill more Iranian civilians and put US troops, allied countries in harm's way to help him.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

US and Israel have drawn up plans for renewed strikes on Iran. Netanyahu pushed Trump to resume the war before elections, but Trump resisted. The planned three-day offensive would target Iran energy and weapons infrastructure. Iran warns of a wider war.

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede, "I am going to request the annulment of these elections." US right wing accounts linked to Trump attempting to push disinformation to help Bolsonaro's narrative. Flávio is more likely to face a criminal investigation for corruption instead.

The numbers aren't capped as such under free movement, but people cannot move solely to claim benefits and serious criminals can be expelled or refused entry - so "unlimited" is misleading

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Ten years on, we have the worst of both worlds on immigration and asylum. Without freedom of movement, businesses face red tape while losing skilled workers. Restoring it cuts business costs, creates quality jobs for Young people, and helps us tackle the crisis together.
