“Brexit was a waste of money that, now more than ever, we simply cannot afford.”
The political refusal to admit how badly they screwed us over with Brexit keeps us trapped in inevitable, snowballing failure. We can’t let them dodge this reality forever.

Rachel Reeves is studiously ignoring the cause of Britain’s woes: the Brexit-shaped hole in its roof | Jonathan Freedland
The autumn budget will mop up some damage, but the true source of the economic crisis is clear. The government should now fix it – tragically, it won’t, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

How can anyone look at the economic harm done by Brexit, the obvious Russian influence in the referendum, the lies, the broken promises, the changed world situation, the cultural impact, our waning global influence, and so much more ... yet still come to the conclusion that we have to live with it?

"The economic harm caused to the UK by Brexit is nearly double previous estimates. Brexit is impacting GDP per person by 6% to 8%, equating to £180–£240 billion in losses. If GDP were 6% higher, Reeves would have £60 billion more to work with — without raising taxes."

Exactly! Immigration is only an issue because we keep being told it is!
The UK needs young people who want to work. Immigration is an essential part of our economy.
The Labour Party are just Reform-lite now. Totally lost the plot. Do they have any understanding of their (now ex) voters?

Immigration is NOT tearing this country apart.
Politicians like Farage and Mahmodo are tearing it apart by their divisive rhetoric and dishonest framing of the known facts behind immigration.
I despise them for it.
Now 10 years here isn’t long enough. It has to be 20 years.
What a disgrace.

“I did say the same sort of thing as Gill that landed him in prison for 10 years, but I didn’t take Russian money* for it. I said it because that is what I believe” shouldn’t be the sort of defence Farage and ReFuk think it is.
Whispers “*except the money for my Russian TV appearances.”

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

For the Tories to be truly honest, they’d have to tear down their own narrative on Brexit, immigration, NetZero, tax, their wild economic, social and geopolitical irresponsibility… and that would finish this current version of the party.
But this version doesn’t deserve to survive anyway.

Treatment of terrorist with known mental health needs said to have contravened prohibition on inhuman or degrading treatment

UK politics live – latest updates
Shabana Mahmood and David Lammy have been found to have breached a prohibition on inhuman or degrading treatment with respect to a prisoner who spent months segregated from other inmates, in what is believed to be a legal first.
Sahayb Abu was confined to his cell at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, for 22 hours a day and prevented from associating with other prisoners for more than four months after Hashem Abedi, the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber, allegedly attacked prison officers at HMP Frankland.
