🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

Please remember this next time you hear Nigel Farage and Reform say we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Open schools at weekends and evenings: run separate send classes for the kids using send teacher staff who cannot attend mainstream. That way you don't need new infrastructure and you can re- integrate children who as they mature, back into mainstream where possible

If you want to grow an economy, money needs to be in the hands of people who have a propensity to spend it.

This is basic stuff.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

But even if that were true & as can be seen elsewhere in this thread it’s not, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have both 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why is it an ‘either or’ Keir?

Don’t you want this country to prosper?

Obviously not.

What the 🤬 is political about a customs union, even Turkey have one with the EU.

I think the economic argument is irrelevant. Beside the benefits being obvious, if the Democrats fail to win, then a united Europe is vital to the UK's interests both economic and security.
The idea that we can float free and prosper is ludicrous.

Absolute rubbish as I wrote a few days ago…
While the India FTA has been quantified, that with the Septics has not, other than to mitigate damage for JLR, steel exports and whisky producers.
In terms of India; however, while effects on GDP are ⬇️, the deal claims that…1/

By joining a CU with EU, it could mitigate by up to 2.2% x GDP, while the FTA with India is worth between 0.12-0.22% x GDP, in the long run! Wow! In terms of the Septics, I've not actually read/heard any quantifiable value of the trade deal with the US, other than mitigating tariffs on steel/cars.

He also does not isolate exactly what he thinks is wrong. This "that no Uk government has ever done"? What's that then.

I'd have thought the original building of the NHS and welfare state, state pensions were really really really big that had never been done before.

Zack Polanski needs to fix this. He's not going to stop being asked for his economic plans in detail in future interviews. He can either continue to not have one, or he can develop one and learn to articulate it. Saul Alinsky addresses this in his Rules for Radicals:
