Sounds like a bit of a threat from those nice people at Reform… They deleted the post, but not before the good guys got a screen grab. #ReformScsndal

UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside. The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence. Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up, served their economic interest, ideological purpose.

The ECHR is not a "left-wing project" but a "safeguard against arbitrary government" He describes the Tory party now as “a political party that cannot tolerate support for fundamental human rights.” What a disgrace. How are they different from Reform exactly? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨BREAKING PMQs🚨 PM: "Britain is the standout nation for deficit reduction. Britain, the joint fastest growing in the G7. Britain, the country that yesterday saw unemployment down and improved labour market statistics." "It's time she talked the country up rather than constantly talk it down."

In addition to her confusion about France, UK net migration is already plunging. She surely knows this. RW populist lying about migration is so fucking tiresome.

Not only is Andrew Boff a very long-standing Conservative politician but he was one of Kemi Badenoch's close colleagues on the London Assembly. That she can't even tolerate him having different views, shows quite how intolerant of dissent they now are under her leadership

Burnham needs public consent for his EU reset, says Brexit negotiator Barnier www.politico.eu/article/mich...

“Andy has been on Shabana’s side throughout this row over ILR. He is holding the line.” Sometimes it's hard to remember that Mahmood isn't a Tory.

In the BBC News room... Boss, this new ONS report has good news - unemployment rate falling and employment going up! - Isn't there some bad news in there too, so we can make Labour look bad?? Well, vacancies are down... - Great! Use that for the headline!

'Invasion! It's a National Emergency!': LATEST No arrivals for the last 7 days. Or the 5 days before that. And we haven't need a Refuk Govt stripping us of our human rights or shooting dinghies in the Channel. 🤔

We are spending Ben Delo's £36m donation on producing a new propaganda newspaper, The Reformer. Then we are spending Chris Harborne's £36m donation on the postage bill when everyone sends it back to us one page at a time using the Freepost addresses below:

Terry Reintke, “Brexit has caused more damage than good.” “There has been so much damage economically, politically, but most of all for the people in the UK.” “We have seen two decades of division, because that is what demagogues and populists cause"

♥️ "Britain needs hope again. Europe needs hope again, and the relationship between us needs it, too." "We need hope again in the face of the climate emergency. Hope that we can stand for international law. Hope for young people to live, study, and work freely across this continent once more."

Another report that concludes that Britain’s best interest is to rejoin the EU :

‘Islamists’?? Seriously? More I think about it, the more this piece has less value as analysis of France and more value as a window into the worldview in a decent chunk of British media

Burnham urges officials to come up with more radical options for Thames Water. Here are some suggestions. Enforce laws. Prosecute execs for harming health, environment. Cancel licence to operate. Put TW into special administration. Nationalise at knockdown price. Apply to all water companies.

Farage will be telling us he's back in favour of Proportional Representation again in a matter of days no doubt. What an unprincipled chancery.

Anything from Farage, or has he gone into hiding again?

‘Last night of the pogroms’

These guys will do anything to kill reform. They're partisans. They don't give a damn that FPTP is mangling our electoral system or that it could hand total executive control to Nigel Farage. They just care that a few times a century Labour has a majority. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

The the Institute of Economic Affairs is an anonymously-funded neoliberal think tank whose alumni appear on the BBC virtually every day of the week without viewers having a clue whose interests they represent, in flagrant violation of the BBC's own editorial guidelines. #PoliticsLive

Yet again the folly of Brexit is exposed. The EU is *not* expected to have an energy problem this winter. Having stumbled yet again on the beloved Brexiter 'Altar of Cherry-Picking', we have failed to complete a 'reset' return to the EU's Internal Energy Market. UK is energy exposed. #RejoinEU

Green farming initiatives dropped due to loss of EU subsidies #BrexitDisaster strikes again “Some English farmers are turning their backs on green farming and embracing a “productivist” approach, after thousands failed to access a post-Brexit subsidy scheme that pays them to look after nature.

Add to this the ambition of certain political subjects to withdraw from the ECHR, you see how the plan was always to curb the freedom of choice and keep people as prisoners in their own state. Eventually, if the business needs, import cheap labour, but, God forbids, not with equal rights!

I was at a party in Cologne last weekend and met a group of secondary school teachers who teach English. They used to take their students to the UK. Every single one of them approached me and said - can you PLEASE rejoin? Yes, we have lost a lot, but so have our European friends and neighbours.

You may have seen reports about the campaign for charities to be more 'transparent' about who funds them. Well it turns out the mysterious new right-wing think tank behind it won't say who funds or runs them, and used fake names for the authors of the report which launched their campaign

The govt’s best option is to start a special administration process for Thames Water before it runs up more debts & sends billions more overseas. An orderly transition to public ownership doesnt require banks are bailed out – the law says polluters should pay. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
