Brexit was never about regaining our borders, sovereignty, cheaper food etc. It was to protect the money of the rich held in tax havens. Once we accept that as being the driver, then it all makes perfect sense. There never were any opportunities, it was for the benefit of the 1%.

One of the things we learned during our High Court case against Reform is its propensity, nakedly and without embarassment, to lie. Only the blissfully naive would take its explanation for this at face value.

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.
This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it

The media are so hacked off with Starmer’s successes because they’re for the people and not the elite. The rich don’t care about your Town or High Streets. They don’t care about your rent or living conditions and definitely not about your job. They don’t want your equality or women safe either.

So America, you have a convict as your President. He's mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files. He's got a history of sexually related crimes. But, you can't do anything because your justice system answers to the President. Make it make sense please!

Steven Bannon used (possible) Russian money he obtained from Epstein to fund the far right across Europe, money which Nigel Farage benefited from, and this isn’t mentioned at all by the U.K. news outlets.
Instead it’s the endless focus on Starmer.
