All those who voted for Brexit were either ignorant, gullible or racist. Only two of those traits are forgivable.

According to a new study from a respected US think tank, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Britain’s decision to leave the EU has meant that its GDP is between 6 per cent and 8 per cent smaller than it would have been.

Reminder that In the 1990s Farage sought the backing of the disgraced former Conservative MP and notorious racist Enoch Powell and twice asked him to stand as a candidate for UKIP.

It's a great read and is spot on in its analysis in my opinion.
The book cited here is well worth a read. It’s called ‘How They Broke Britain’. Extraordinary to think that any new epilogue would now have to include Jeffrey Epstein.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk The network links are further exposed. ‘The released messages also show Bannon and Epstein discussing UK politics in 2018.’ Bannon texted Epstein: "I've gotten pulled into the Brexit thing this morning with Nigel, Boris and Rees Mogg." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hi, I just found out the government plans to scrap the Windfall Tax on oil and gas companies - which taxes their profits - as families face rising bills and the climate crisis worsens.
We need to tell Rachel Reeves: don’t turn your back on climate and communities.

As a license payer I'd be quite happy if the BBC took on Trump's spurious claim for deformation. In fact I believe it's their democratic duty. I also expect other reputable news broadcasters to also back the BBC in the interest of Truth and Democracy.

A troll army on X is trying to use a presentational mistake by the BBC to erase the truth that Trump orchestrated an illegal campaign to overturn the Presidential election result,which culminated his incitement of the murderous attack on Congress.

In 1990, the CEO-to-average-worker pay ratio was around 18:1 (based on 1980 data) or slightly higher. This ratio has since ballooned, with median FTSE 100 CEO pay at 122 times the salary of the average full-time UK worker in 2024-2025.
It's pretty obvious to me where any tax rises should fall.

When he says Civil war is coming to the UK it's because he is literally promoting it.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Meanwhile, he makes a mint hawking bullion, presenting tv shows and flying to the USA to big up his interests - instead of serving his constituents.

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.
