People are realising that Farage is mostly flannel and no substance. We could prosper best with a Green/Libdem coalition rather than a Trump/ Putin domination. Our US cousins are in a peaceful but determined fight to save the nation from fascism I am behind them. Farage's Brexit gave us small boats.

It's still funny* to me that we frame this as being about immigration but emigration is a big part of the net migration figures. We can get it even lower if we make life here really hellish!

The NHS seems to have virtually stopped recruiting nurses. British or overseas. Without any restrictions, nurses recruited from overseas on a visa has fallen from 6,317 in Jul-Sep 2023 to 337 in Jul-Sep 2025. A 95% fall!

They[ve not kept the promise, because breaking it was unavoidable. This was a promise they should never have made.
Jeremy Hunt set them a trap by promising tax cuts that were clearly unaffordable and not sustainable. Rachel Reeves fell right into it.
