It is time for Labour to stop reinforcing Reform tropes by trying to outdo them, and turn their attention to the vast ocean of voters that the other main parties are sidelining.
And that starts with a strong sharp pivot straight towards Europe.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology.

Within the envelope of being a republican who no royals of any sort, I must still say:
Well done, Prince Harry! You have more courage than the rest of them put together.
