Wonder if there might be a further defection to LibDem or Green once they’ve had a look at the Tories! 😆

ChrisJ @chris17jn.bsky.social · 2d

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

Beyond disappointing and frustrating as we are all continuing to bear the costs of this ridiculousness !

“In its first formal review of UK trade policy since Brexit, the WTO found that UK trade performance had weakened since the 2008 financial crisis, with Brexit named among the chief causes of a marked slump in goods trade since 2018”

God, failure is tedious…

Sadly we’re ’all in it together’ whether we voted for it or not. The continued failure to act on the obvious, is tedious indeed!

Mornin’ - lovely sky!

Same - stopped going there - couldn’t be bothered with the RW pile ons in response to anything vaguely reasonable.

Working on it! 😉😊

Morning Robert. Totally agree and share the frustration. Rachel Reeves is starting to mention ‘Brexit’ as a factor in the slow economy. Stephen Kinnock spoke (eloquently IMO) last week about ‘Farage Boats’ as we don’t have the Dublin agreement now.
C’mon guys - sounds like you know what to do!!

Agree with all of this! Deregulate so we can benefit from ‘trickle down’ benefits … yeah.. right!
As far water companies… I dare not start.. 🤬

Maybe added to the clock change at the weekend it’s pushed you over an ‘edge’?
Anyhow.. 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers.
