Brexit isolated us, now is the time for closer relations with the EU.
Graham Leadbitter: "A false hope deal (Brexit) that has left us far away from our European friends, desperately clinging to a US administration who doesn't care about our national interests."

Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question.
It's a curious paradox.
Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist
