Economists now agree on the direction of travel: Brexit has made the UK poorer and it's getting worse — lower growth, less investment, and a widening gap.

If we’re serious about growth and funding our public services, we need to be in a customs union.

Fraser Nelson is the latest Farage apologist to dismiss the racism allegations against him, saying that there's never been any evidence of him ever being racist as an adult.

Just completely untrue. There is extensive undeniable evidence of it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

A true hero.

If Trump truly wanted to end the war in Ukraine fast, he would arm Ukraine with Tomahawk, ATACMS, and JASSM missiles, impose tougher sanctions, and give Russia a ceasefire deadline with the threat of more if they refuse.

He won’t because he wants a good deal for Russia

The threats the UK faces from Russia are by no means limited to the UK.

All European democracies now face these threats.

The UK must work closely with European partners to confront the authoritarian threat and build a stronger and more resilient Europe.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Wish more people called Reform out for what they are. They don’t stand for ordinary people,they divide and rule. Their anti-establishment shtick is a lie, you don’t get more establishment than recycled, failed Tories. Their policies exist to protect privilege and scapegoat those who can’t fight back
