Zack being famous for challenging Corbyn at the Momentum conference on this very issue back in the day before he was even a Green!

Labour's recent attempt to now spin themselves as the Breturn option with Keir "never in my lifetime" Starmer is clearly a desperate ploy to stop hemorrhaging members.

I was in Portland a week ago and there’s just literally nothing happening. It’s not a matter of opinion, it’s not a perspective thing, it’s reality versus a world Trump is inventing in his head so he can seize dictatorial authority

Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is crazy."

It’s interesting that Cleverly feels the need to lie about it. Not a position he can sustain for very long given that the policy is there in black and white.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

'So this is as much about politics as it is about anything else. Blaming Nigel Farage for economic harm while steering clear of addressing that harm. Criticising the way Brexit was done without criticising Brexit itself'. www.independent.co.uk/voices/rache...

Bringing up Brexit won’t save your Budget, chancellor…

By pinning the UK’s economic woes on the damage done by leaving the EU (and therefore on Nigel Farage…), Rachel Reeves is playing a clever game – but don’t raise your hopes that we’re on our way back ...

That's some spin from Lammy. Not only does someone having to make another channel crossing, particularly due to their expressed fear of being trafficked, show how inhumane and pointless the policy is, it shows how it risks creating a never ending cycle of people forced into using irregular routes.

Politicians who want to defend "British culture", have obviously lost the plot.

There are many microcultures in Britain.

The most powerful microculture is that of the aristocracy and landed gentry (perhaps 0.5% of the population) who own about 30% of the land and dominate the major institutions.
