BBC News and @SkyNews undermining UK democracy again, it seems.
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

🌍 "Labour’s ‘red lines’ on its relationship reset with the European Union, including no return to the Single Market or the EU Customs Union, must now be revisited and revised.

The reasons why will not have escaped the Chancellor’s notice, even if she does not want to look in their direction."
Chancellor must ‘supercharge EU reset’ to escape economic black holes
"Getting the UK back in the Single Market and the Customs Union is a prerequisite for creating sustained growth that can improve opportunities for British people across the board"

Dear broadcasters, stop giving Farage airtime. He’s got his own TV show. Leave him to it. Traitorous weasel.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

Well said!

Everyone should tell their MP to:

1️⃣Immediately and substantially increase military and financial support for Ukraine.

2️⃣Seize the hundreds of billions of Euros in frozen Russian assets and give them to Ukraine.

Ukraine needs our help, but we need Ukraine more to defend our freedom.

French MPs have voted in a bill that would introduce a minimum tax of 2% on the wealth of the richest 0.01% of French taxpayers (~1,800 people), to bring in €15-25 billions into the state coffers, for use on public services and/or the ecological transition.

Hello, UK government?

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet.

Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Just 10% of Labour voters say we were right to leave the EU. That means 90% of those who voted for this government do NOT support Brexit. Just imagine what these figures would be like if Labour hadn't spent the last 8+ years REFUSING to talk about any EU/Single Market benefits!

If you care about the future of the NHS & you see this on Boxing Day, please could you share this?

If we want privatisation to be removed from the NHS, NHS campaigners like me have a *lot* of work to do next year and…I’d just like to see if people care enough about this for our campaigning to work…

Billions of pounds were spent on completely unusable protective equipment, with a series of priority contracts handed to associates of Conservative ministers

If it takes 10 years to rejoin the EU, then if we start today, we'll be back in 10 years.

If we wait a decade, it will take 20 years from now. Except that it won't, because we will have had 10 more years of diverging. So it might take a quarter of a century.

Start today. We owe it to the future.
