It’s #DanielHannanDay
‘What Britain looks like after Brexit’
Hannan, elevated to a the House of Lords for his role in achieving #Brexit sets out his vision for Brexit Britain. Well it’s been good for him.
www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...
t’s 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn’t just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours. The United Kingdom is now the region’s foremost knowledge-based economy. We lead the world in biotech, law, education, the audio-visual sector, financial services and software. New industries, from 3D printing to driverless cars, have sprung up around the country. Older industries, too, have revived as energy prices have fallen back to global levels: steel, cement, paper, plastics and ceramics producers have become competitive again. The EU, meanwhile, continues to turn inwards, clinging to its dream of political amalgamation as the euro and migration crises worsen. Its population is ageing, its share of world GDP shrinking and its peoples protesting. “We have the most comprehensive workers’ rights in the world”, complains Jean-Claude Juncker, who has recently begun in his second term as President of the European Federation, “but we have fewer and fewer workers”.

Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors.

At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill

#FBPE is a European movement that was founded to defend the EU and fight fascism & far right populism.

That's why it's hard to get why people, who support our movement, are still active on a platform run by someone who wants to destroy the EU.

That is like fighting fascism on a Nazi network.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

They aren't "patriots" they're a racist militia.
We have already seen vigilantes on the beaches of Dover, now we see them "hunting" people in towns. These are the people Starmer talks about "understanding the concerns of". Jfc, this is worrying on so many levels.

What traitorous dolts the British rightwing were to oblige Russia and the network of oligarchs who hate the power of EU collaboration and prosperity. Now we find ourselves isolated, the EU weakened and Ukraine being betrayed.
Shame on all who paved the way…

Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU
On Twitter/X, Elon Musk says: “The EU should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people.” Dmitry Medvedev, ex-President and ex-Prime Minister of Russia, a close ally of Vladimir Putin and currently the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, then replies to Elon Musk’s post approvingly, saying “Exactly.”

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

With his party riding high in the polls, toasting a game-changing £9m donation and welcoming its first Tory defector in the Lords, Nigel Farage seems to be sitting pretty. But creeping allegations of racist schoolboy behaviour — and his belligerent response to them — could harm his chances of winning over wavering voters, writes Josh Glancy (Cartoon of shocked? angry? frightened? people under the money bags holding placards saying ‘BIGOT’, ‘RACIST’ and ‘NAZI NIGEL’) Crick believes that there is a clear line to be drawn between Farage the sixth-former and Farage the politician. "So much of his character is the same as you can see at Dulwich," he says. "The boy who's desperate for attention, who loves debating, who loves division. The English nationalism, the interest - almost obsession - with immigration, the admiration for Enoch Powell, the free-market Thatcherism; all of that began at Dulwich." Much of the public has already made up its mind on Farage. In as much as this story cuts through to the wider elector-ate, some will think it deeply unfair to judge Farage on his adolescence; while others will see it as fair game and reflective of the man he later became. But there will be many who are still undecided on Farage and, for this last camp, his belligerent response to the allegations will be a test. He has the polling support. He has the Tory defections. He has the money now too. But does he have the ability to woo and keep voters who once found him unsavoury? Farage is unlikely to change tack now. "He's got to be true to him-self," says the senior Reform source. "There is precious little point in apologising to people like Ed Davey." Additional Reporting: Harry Yorke

Farage the politician *is* Farage the schoolboy losing his shit over seeing the name ‘Patel’ on the school roll and telling black pupils to go back to Africa. There’s really no difference. Except now he wants (and may be bought) the power to deport those people.
It’s not the past. It’s now.

1. I hate to see good people wasting their time and energy. And there’s perhaps no greater waste of time and energy than seeking to change the trajectory of the human population. It’s not just futile, but also a massive distraction from things we CAN change. This thread seeks to explain why. 🧵1/12

Interesting what Crick notes.

Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.
