To those saying “It’s not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

70k signatures to rejoin the EU. Big petition, timely too - polling shows the public is in favour. Let’s get it to 100k and push Labour to debate rejoining. It’s the glaringly obvious solution our economic problems and the rise of the far right.

Almost everything you hear about the Government is filtered through the framing of the British press.

But what is already clear after six months of Keir Starmer’s administration is that they don’t treat all governments equally...

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Elon Musk is only a hero to people too monumentally stupid to realize the only free speech he wants is his own, and the only thing he cares about is his wealth.

Express poll needs more input.

Link takes you directly to the poll, bypassing the Express website, so you won't boost their ad impressions.

(Note: ignore the bit where they ask for your email address. It's optional.)

On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…

And that deprivation has hit a record high

Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits

Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?

…anywhere?

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.

The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.

Exempt from all.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.

Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.

This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.
