How Brexit is making Britain un-SAFE
The government should have agreed to join a key European defence scheme - there can only be one explanation for why it did not

Brexit ‘badly damaged’ our economy says David Lammy, the deputy prime minister also says rejoining the EU customs union would boost economic growth. More and more people are realising the sky doesn’t fall in when you tell the truth about Brexit!

D'you remember Sid - the tagline used by the Conservative government in 1986 to push the idea of privatising gas?

Oxford City Councillor Ottino had some home truths for Sid, in a debate on Thames Water.

After 40 years, privatisation of public services has failed. It's time for public ownership.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

A reminder that two of Nigel’s children have a German mother and speak fluent German.

Good enough for his children, but not other people’s.

Are his children culture smashing or is there something different about his children and the children of Glasgow?

With Christmas fast approaching, I thought I would share some of the non-fiction books I have read/re-read this year which I would recommend if people are still looking for presents, the ones which seem somewhat....relevant to the current state of things, rather than necessarily "fun" reads 👇1/

UK energy bills to rise by £108 to pay for infrastructure upgrades.

Since 2020 energy companies made £125bn profit.

6.1m live in fuel poverty.
£4.43bn energy bills arrears.
128,000 a year die in fuel poverty.

Eliminate privatisation of profit. Use it to fund infrastructure. Nationalise.

Building a real single market for financial services.

We aim to integrate EU financial markets by removing barriers in trading, post-trading, and asset management.

Our proposal makes cross-border investing simpler, cheaper, and more beneficial for Europeans.

“Starmer Urged To Use Brexit To Beat Farage Amid Reform's Surge In The Polls…Labour’s biggest problem is not that it’s haemorrhaging votes to Reform. It’s haemorrhaging votes to the left, to the Greens and the Lib Dems, who are avowedly Remain parties.”

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure, says The Telegraph.

Brexit Effect:

UK GDP down 8%
Investment down 18%
Productivity down 4%
Employment down 4%
Immigration not cut
No trade benefits
No regulatory freedom

Why do some still vote for Farage?
