This isn’t journalism, it’s endorsement, a testament of shame for both BBC News and Chris Mason. I wonder why neither have BlueSky accounts? 🤔
Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before
The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

After the Brexit reset, how about a Brexit review? New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The reset now needs to be delivered, including an SPS deal. Meanwhile, with the SDR we've had three defence reviews since Brexit, so why not a Brexit review? chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/afte...

Crucial point by Sophia Gaston to Commons C'tee:
"The existence of a 'Brexit betrayals' narrative" has a "profoundly depressive" impact on how gov't is approaching the UK/EU relationship. And that is "problematic" because it does not even reflect public opinion, but "coerced by media opinion." ~AA

”Finland can’t solve the US egg crisis”
The US has asked at least Finland, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands for eggs amid the growing bird flu-induced egg shortage in the US. Responses have been rather lukewarm.
The audacity of first imposing tariffs and then asking for help is kinda pathetic

So according to Trump the EU was formed 'to screw US'.
I have seldom heard such a moronic statement. Perhaps it is worth recalling why the European Economic Community was established in 1958. This was the predecessor of today's EU.

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years.
The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine.

Let's call this out for what it blatantly is. The Tories and their mates at the Telegraph, trying to thwart Labour meeting its growth targets. Griffiths doesn't want our country to succeed. No Brexiteer does. It's faux patriotism hiding their true goal of keeping us poor while hedge funds boom.
