Rejoining the EU by eating the Brexit Elephant one bite at a time.
I will defend myself but I do not want to engage in culture wars. Better to find what we do agree on and work to an acccomodation from there.

It turns out sucking up to a racist authoritarian with sycophantic royal parades doesn't protect you from his childish rants and legal warfare.
The BBC case should be our Canada moment.
The British don't like bullies - we stand up to them.

Absolutely this.
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

The UK played a pivotal role in creating the ECHR. Leaving it now would betray that legacy, and destroy the very principles we helped to create.

Reform’s big economic plans? Slash minimum wage for young people and bring back austerity
Why tax the rich when you can pay young people less and cut public spending?

Today, the Chancellor named Brexit as one of the main reasons for expected tax rises and lower productivity.
Wasn't Brexit supposed to put £350 million a week into the economy? 🤔 One of just many lies it seems...

Farage sold Brexit as freedom and left Britain poorer. Now he wants to cut wages for young people while pretending it’s reform. The man who broke the economy shouldn’t be trusted to fix it.

Trump's activity in the US shows us how the human rights enshrined solely by a country's own domestic law can be easily overturned.
Farage knows this. That is why he wants the UK to leave the ECHR.

Yesterday's attempt by Farage to take the UK out of the ECHR represents a story we're all too familiar with; selling a movement as a lie. Remaining in the ECHR ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities, and it's essential that we continue to challenge these lies.

With the Budget approaching, it is clear that Brexit has damaged the economy in ways many feared it would. With reduced productivity, trade, and investment, it's a travesty that we're still feeling the impact almost a decade after the referendum.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.
