The three 'trade deals' Labour celebrate come to 0.48% which is nowhere near the 4% lost by Brexit

The reason we have a black hole
The reason we will have tax rises
The reason we will have spending cuts

Is because of Brexit

If you think you can, maybe you can.
If you think you can't, you're right.

Must have needed special permission from the party police to mention it without sanctions.

Same as net zero watch tyre denial.
The cultured ignorance looks like it's causing another extinction event.
Be nice to change course.

"There is no doubt that the impact of Brexit has been severe and long-lasting", Rachel Reeves tells Sky News, as she suggests that taxes will now have to go up as a result to "make sure the numbers add up".

To see Palestinians and Israelis reunite with their families has been deeply moving.

This must be the start of a process that ends Israel’s illegal occupation and punishes those responsible for war crimes.

I asked the PM how he will ensure justice and self-determination for the Palestinian people.

Carolin Lucas, "The level of disgust and distrust in the population is like nothing I've ever seen before"

"It's really dangerous and scary"

"It's so important there is a voice out there offering hope and solutions and isn't afraid to say what it thinks"

Quality article by @andrewduffeu.bsky.social on a royal commission on Brexit.

The first is addressing the effect of Brexit on the UK.

The major issue is the lack of an established truth that Brexit was a mistake in public and across WM.
