One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.
"Negotiators are aiming to finalise a deal by January that would allow the UK to participate in Erasmus from 2027 onwards, according to two UK and EU officials."

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Mason going for the jugular on the BBC News confirms that Robbie Gibb has taken his 'outing' at the Select Committee rather badly. A reminder: a grifting MP absent from his constituency, lying about the UK to the US Senate, deflecting claims of Russian collusion & racism, is the real news story.

Main Stream Media News channels platforming Tory after Tory over the supposed Rachel Reeves dishonesty is truly OTT.
Nearly 15 years of Conservative government lies, corruption and mismanagement, and they have the gall to ask for her to resign over this.

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

When we get told that taxes have to rise or public sector workers can't have a pay rise just remember it's because this lot took the money.
I'd like to see an interview point this out next time the Tories are handing out advice on the economy.
