I’ve changed my mind and changed my position. I think the Labour government should now campaign on rejoining the Single Market and the Customs Union at the next General Election.
The economy is not going to grow sufficiently to improve living standards until we do.

The number of private schools has increased since the Labour government stuck VAT on them. 🤷♀️

A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Trump’s new doctrine: no one is safe.
Spanish PM Sánchez has stated that Spain will neither recognize the govt of Nicolás Maduro nor support any U.S. military attacks and intervention in Venezuela. He said this action violates international law and endangers regional stability.

Time to extricate ourselves completely from the USA.
I’ve tried to go with the line of ‘keep them close etc’ and sure, for appearances sake?
Now though, our whole system needs to move toward ROW & the EU.
Nuclear weapons changes must be top of the list. Intelligence agencies must move away too.

I cannot understand why we play so negatively at home?
It’s the right way to play away but not at home. The atmosphere is so flat at PP and I cannot blame the crowd.
I’d also like to know what happens before a game and a HT. Does the team indulge in relaxation techniques? 😴

We need to play 3 CM’s. The team is so divided in all three sections. The players aren’t good enough to play it.
How Eustace cannot see this I don’t know?
Our passing is awful most of the time. Clarke and Langas need a rest.
JWZ, release the ball quickly!
Clark, POTM
Frustrating.

Well I picked the game to come to at PP. 😂
Dreadful first 20. We were giving them so much room on the edge of the area. Langas seems tired, giving their players far too much room, Clarke the same.
Bobby Clark has been awesome in CM and BBD goal was fabulous. Notice he didn’t celebrate. #dcfc

It is absolutely mad to watch world leaders trying their best not to criticise Trump for smashing to smithereens, years of political precedent and international law in removing Maduro and now claiming the US will ‘run’ the country.

Keir Starmer says it is in Britain’s interests to “align more closely with the EU single market” and “we should”.
Interestingly this is one of his most passionate answers in a long interview.
I think we can expect movement on this issue in 2026. Brexit still remains an unsettled matter.

How long is it going to take Starmer, Macron etc to accept that the US under Trump is not a reliable ally. They can carry on grovelling & being patsy’s in front of Trump all they want but it’s not going to change a thing.
And the sooner they wake up to that the better for all of us.

Completely moronic. I get it that European and other world leaders including Starmer are not unhappy about Maduro being gone - but that is not the point. The USA has invaded a sovereign state and removed its leader. That is the whole point and a terrifying slippery slope.

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

Putin has been famously reticient about targeting Zelensky or breaking international law till now of course.
What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?
