Another benefit of Brexit ... the UK has returned to its traditional role as the dirty man of Europe.

Canada vs. America

Labour have presided over a "doom loop of higher taxes, weaker borders and month after month of chaos" says Kemi Badenoch who was part of a government that raised taxes and immigration levels by record amounts, whilst changing leader no fewer than four times

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Let’s also remember that the ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government.

We must protect the ECHR, not leave it

Politics has not moved Left in the last 20 years, it has continued to move Right.

The ONLY aspect that has improved in any way are the rights of individuals to freely choose who they want to be.

And that progress is about to be crushed.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

I love British daily tabloids. 🤣

Fiona Bruce, "I must point out there are plenty of Reform UK supporters in the audience as well"

Why? They have 4 MPs, no 5 MPs, no 4 MPs, no 5 MPs... #BBCQT

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Outrageous.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

I'm sick and tired of people in politics telling us they 'accidentally deleted' 5000 WhatsApp messages, 'forgot' they owned seven flats, 'couldn't recall' taking a £6m loan or didn't declare £700,000 in donations due to 'administrative error'. What do they take us for?

Good Thursday 🍂

It’s not just us.
The POTUS, getting told exactly what he is, and how he is viewed by the entire globe.

More great Labour announcements today.

Don’t tell Nige but there’s £50m fund to create new vaccines in Oxford, a new Pride of Place programme to restore our neighbourhoods and disadvantaged kids being encouraged to University. Plus 500 new jobs for Wales and Chester

But …🦢🦢

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

This from Lucy Powell is the strongest articulation I've seen yet of the way Labour can take on Farage

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excuse number 454 on the Clacton Property

Farage now claiming he didn’t want his name on the electoral register on the Clacton home he claimed he owned for security reasons?

You can opt out on the electoral register, so that your details are not shown publicly?

Anyone going to challenge him?
