Not being surprised – inaction is our enemies’ lifeline
A sense of outrage, déjà vu and exasperation at the state of the present – the comment “I’m not surprised” is not relevant, the question should be, what to do?

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social what about some viral videos of British people who benefited from FoM but have now lost out? I remember @femi-oluwole.bsky.social interviewing young people who could no longer get seasonal jobs. Broaden it? And highlight the implicit damage to the UK?
One of the most cynical, but very effective, lies perpetrated by May and Patel was to persuade the British public that Freedom of Movement was a kind of disease inflicted upon the UK by the EU, and one which needed to be eradicated 'once and for all'.

A little appreciated fact largely ignored by our “simplifying” media: the EU, including Freedom of Movement, was not just “them”, but also “us”.
Brexit has had an impact on all who hold a British passport but on none more so than those UK citizens who worked for the European Union.
It was therefore gratifying to see Middle Temple paying tribute to two senior members who served in the EU courts. Watch now.

This is a fabulous read. The figures might be specific to the USA, but the principle applies wherever neocapitalism has been applied. Read it, and feel it in your bones.

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?

🚨🚨🚨 Can anyone please explain why Labour is so convinced it is losing more votes to Reform than to the Greens or the LibDems? This weird obsession is causing Labour to lose its soul and is making it impossible for any decent and fair-minded person to vote for them.
