Spot on. McSweeney and any other pro-Brexit advisors obsessed with the "pig-ignorant racist" vote to the exclusion of all others have to be kicked out ASAP. But the other really major priority is media reform, with Leveson 2 and huge changes to the BBC at every level. Without that, they're doomed.

Labour, Tories and Reform all chasing the "pig-ignorant racist" vote, while the progressive majority watch on in astonishment, fury and disgust...

Release of the full Russia report and a criminal investigation into the Brexit referendum would be the place to start. Farage is a traitor who willingly caused huge damage to this country in the service of Putin and the super-rich. LibDems need to work with Lab backbenchers to push this issue.

Absolutely right. We urgently need a backbench rebellion. Demand a total clear-out of Starmer's right-wing, pro-Brexit advisors, or else threaten a leadership challenge. The huge progressive majority in this country didn't vote for any of this Daily Mail-appeasing bollocks.

Lab backbenchers urgently need to grow a collective spine and demand change: either Starmer ditches his entire team of right-wing pro-Brexit advisors, or he faces a leadership challenge.

How much of this is down to Starmer reportedly having pro-Brexit advisors? If it's true he's something of an empty vessel, then the people around him can wield a lot of influence. So much damage is being done...

The situation in the UK is far worse. Over 14 yrs of Tory rule almost the entire media ignored or played down hundreds of scandals, any one of which would have been used to destroy a Labour government. And the BBC was perhaps the worst offender.

Time for multinationals to be taxed on their UK turnover if they don't report accurate profits.

Governing solely for the approval of the Daily Mail and only ever interested in the Pig-Ignorant-Racist vote. Astonishing that nobody in his team can see how this will end in disaster. Need a huge back bench rebellion in alliance with LibDems to force a new direction.

For every illegal spill they should be forced to hand a percentage of their shares to the government. That would be the best way to take them back into public ownership.

This doesn't go far enough, but more importantly, what kind of sanctions will apply to breaches of the rules? The only effective punishment would have to be prison sentences for the recipient, rather than the donor; anything else will be evaded or ignored.
