It is my opinion that people should focus more on
"How do we get through the next five years?"
and less on
"If only it was 2015 again!“

All of this stuff is in the Crick biography and has been reported much longer than that. Farage's career should never have progressed out of the gutter

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

One of the good things about history is — if you look back at Europe 100 years ago (entre deux guerres) or 200 years (entre revolutions) or 700 years ago (entre la guerre de cent ans) — we live in an incredibly successful and peaceful experiment in pooled sovereignty. F*ck M*sk

Whatever the problems with the current UK Government, in this year of crisis I just thank god it isn’t led by a Pro Trump, Pro Putin Government like Boris Johnson’s Conservatives or Nigel Farage (and who he hasn’t fallen out with at any given moment)

“Damn it man LEAD!”
Starmer accuses the Brexiters of selling Brexit on lies and false promises. He’s guilty of pretence and obfuscation now. The EU won’t trust us or even consider major changes to the current deal if British politicians continue to lie, hedge and mislead. Act like a leader, Starmer. Damnit, man. LEAD.

Rant alert: Trump’s national security strategy trashing the EU and core values at heart of transatlantic alliance makes it all the more urgent for Starmer to pursue bolder reset with EU. His timidity loses valuable time and risks leaving us even more subject to events rather than shaping them. 🧵

A million times this. It’s incredible that the ‘big brains’ advising the Labour Party genuinely think that they can convert people who are fans of Farage to vote for Keir Starmer. It’s just not going to happen, however cruel your policies become.
"There is an obvious lesson to take from this, that the government seems almost certain to ignore: there is no way for the government to win for as long as it plays this game…The goalposts will be endlessly shifted."

Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists
The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

When I first heard about Farage’s racist teenage rants, I assumed they were an adolescent phase. But the more we find out — they went on for many years — and his reaction to the revelations (‘liars’) shows no contrition, no apology, suggests these beliefs are still active

I suspect Starmer's instinct has always been for incremental reintegration with the EU but the country (& the Gov) can't wait. He either needs to move now or lose the next GE. Why does he always have to follow rather than lead public opinion?

Farage isn’t able to express any heartfelt shame for what he said then…not just because he does not feel it, but because he and ReFuk are banking on pulling in voters who share those views and wish that to have no adverse consequence.

The fundamental question on the EU-UK reset👇 is do we want to live within European norms or continue to fantasize we are a swash-buckling empire building nation of rabid capitalists with a side hussle as an American AI data centre & aircraft carrier. Tough call.
Whether by accident or design, the EU is making Britain decide whether it is truly, deeply, viscerally an 'all-in' European state, and not some half-arsed "let's-try-and-get-what-we-can-out-of-it" state.
It's going to be a long old road.

You know what? I really don't think it is. Great domestic political posturing, but Labour have no plans to go beyond the 'reset' agenda, certainly none the EU are likely to accept. This will be talk to little if any action.
