Worked for over 30 years in and around the EU institutions. Weary of the Brexit lies politicians still spout. No party affiliation but proud European Movement member. Follow back genuine active #FBPE and pro-EU accounts based in UK and rest of Europe.

Anyone else seeing a lot more new followers from North America but far fewer from the UK and rest of Europe? I despise Trump and his nationalistic bilge but my near exclusive focus on here is the campaign to start fixing the harm of Brexit and to secure a representative electoral system in the UK.
Brexit was supposed to cure our national ills according to its fans but cured nothing. Now they can’t point the finger at the EU, they need new scapegoats in their ongoing pantomime of f*cking stuff up and finding someone else to blame.

Brexit, immigration, asylum: this ghoulish harmony between Labour, the Tories and Reform under an electoral system likely to continue to deprive progressives of any meaningful voice renders our political system unfit for purpose.

After the Brexit referendum, the Tories felt compelled to lie in order to cover up the huge con trick they’d played on the electorate. They normalized dishonesty in government. And now Labour has decided to ape them. Don’t think politics has looked this grim in my lifetime.

Labour has started lying about stuff in the way the Conservatives routinely lied. That’s a problem if we’re to have any hope of a healthy discussion about a lot of things and try to stave off, rather than pander to, the worst liars of all, who may form the next government.

Labour has comprehensively trapped itself by agreeing to play entirely by their opponents’ rules.
The game is fixed so the only move that’s ever available is more and worse cruelty, while at the same time no level of cruelty will ever be enough to win.
A moral & political death-spiral.

Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.
Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.

I suspect we are going to go very quickly from "Thank goodness Starmer has gone" to "Oh, sh*t, they've only gone and chosen Shabana Mahmoud".
Because that's how broken the Labour Party has become.

This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.
The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

In addition to the reasons already given, the fact Brexit is so difficult to reverse doubtless makes some of them double down. How else would anyone high on conceits of sovereignty cope with the prospect of having to negotiate a correction with the club you just left?

What should the (Labour) government do about this? Admit its manifesto support for hard Brexit is no longer tenable (not that it ever was) or stick to its pledge not to make any attempt to rejoin the single market or a customs union?
🚨📉 Major new paper by Stanford professor Nick Bloom and coauthors.
They find Brexit has:
⬇️ Reduced UK GDP by 6-8%
⬇️ Reduced investment by 12-18%
⬇️ Reduced employment by 3-4%
⬇️ Reduced productivity by 3-4%

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

As I’ve said before, the Labour govt seems to think nice words and feelz after Tory arrogance will do the job. It fails to see that quitting the EU’s supranational structures exposes it to the cut and thrust of international relations, where leverage and power imbalances are ruthlessly deployed.
