Debate today with a Labour MP on the economy.

Also with a former advisor to George Osborne.

Very striking how much Labour & the Tories agree on our economic system.

Time for change. Let's make hope normal again. Enjoy! 🙌🏼👇🏼

Toby Young, self-appointed king of free speech, is speaking in Hungary tomorrow about UK “censorship”.

He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

I wonder what those local farmers think about Farage's close mate who represented North Wales for UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK, and who just got 10.5 years for accepting pro-Russia bribes instead of helping local farmers.

Israelis are deeply sick people.
Hateful, disturbed, and inhumane.

And the whole “most moral army” thing is the biggest gas lighting bullshit going.

Israel is a right wing nationalist state. That ain’t moral. It’s fascism.

I saw this and HAD to respond with a totally unrelated…but related true story;
Last summer we were out shopping. Normal day, except very windy.
Wife was putting a large box in the back of the SUV when a gust of wind sailing across the parking lot towards a line of cars. She ran to catch it…

Look at the signatories backing Suffolk's Forest City, which is a charter city, a mixture of Labour politicians, the extreme far right, multi-millionaire libertarians.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
