WOAH! IT NOW TURNS OUT BREXIT HAS REDUCED GDP BY 8%!
BREXIT HAS WELL AND TRULY BROKEN BRITAIN - and our dim-witted plonker of a prime minister refuses to get Brexit undone - he won’t even rejoin the Single Market & Customs Union!

Flagshaggers are never going to vote Labour, no matter how many gold teeth they pull, the rest of the country is pretty sickened by the pandering to racists/failure to get a grip on the cost of living, everyone’s going Green/LibDem, so it seems that Labour are only appealing to themselves now.

Nigel Farage is actually quoted as saying that the Home Secretary ‘sounds like a Reform supporter’ with these horrible policies. She probably thinks that’s a good thing - most right minded people think it’s a disgrace.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Intrigued that the Labour Party has a Denmark policy - seize jewellery and assets from asylum seekers - and also an anti-Denmark policy - don’t tax middle earners enough to support welfare state.

Tommy Robinson, meanwhile, has suggested the announcement is a victory for the far right. So, well done Labour - great work.

Late to this, but if the Sunday Times is correct that Morgan McSweeney spent one and a half hours last week with Lord Glasman then he isn't fit to fill any senior position in government.

This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.
The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

Bias is often in the eye of the beholder
So let’s stick to measurable facts
During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times
Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage
