I think this is the first time I've EVER heard a politician speak the unflinching truth like this instead of cowardly skirting round the issue.
In so doing, @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks up for all those groups threatened by Trump's actions.
We need far more of this courage in politics.

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier.
No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

Very amusing to watch Reform complain about all the things wrong with the UK - every one caused by Brexit - without actually mentioning Brexit, as if they happened by magic.
