New polling from European Movement UK shows that three quarters of people who see the economic damage of Brexit now back joining the Single Market and Customs Union to cut taxes and rebuild public services. The public knows the route to recovery, even if the Government refuses to face it.
New poll shows 75% favour joining single market to lower taxes
Of British adults who feel Brexit has been harmful to the UK, over 75% favour the UK joining the Single Market and Customs Union as a way to lower the tax burden and boost money for public services.

They sound disappointed that their dreams have not come true."

Trump and Putin’s diplomatic dance over Ukraine ‘peace’
The initial American Ukraine peace plan has been tweaked, removing some of the most pro-Russian clauses and Moscow has now signalled it won’t accept it. There is a deal to be made. Can Trump make it?

Reform UK said it would pay for the defence of farmers arrested at the demonstration, saying it was "outrageous".

But if it was just stop oil WOULD REFORM PAY DEFENCE COSTS?

No!

Reform are just riding the bandwagon when it suits them.

Meanwhile on Teesside Ben Houchen says giving him the power to raise a tourist tax is a "Labour cash grab that would hammer hospitality businesses".

The only dissenting voice on this policy, it seems.
Trump is making foreign tourists to US national park pay $100 (£76) per person to access 11 of the most popular sites.

Makes £1.30 per night tourism tax in Wales seem a bit tame doesn't it?

Weird that the politicians who said this would "kill tourism" in Wales are quiet about this...

Looking at the news on the Ukraine negotiations I can only assume America’s Brightest and best diplomats were not available when Trump formed his government.

He got the most sycophantic idiots available and given them all positions of power.

Was this Putins order to trump ?

Russian puppet speaks!
We Europeans are in grave danger. Incredibly, this time the danger comes from the east as well as from the west.
Press: "What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?"

Trump "Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land."

Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.

Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Please watch this.

The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

You need to know this, so you can help stop it.
