“With Brexit, Farage helped embed the poor growth and state dysfunction that are even now providing fuel for his return.Britain has already spent one decade struggling to get by in the world Farage created. It can ill afford a second”

Ffs. How much failure can we take?

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would give our young people the opportunity to develop vital skills, experiences and friendships across Europe.

I’ll keep pushing for more opportunities like this for Londoners.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

As Oxford and Cambridge rowers take to the Thames tomorrow for the world-renowned Boat Race, take a minute to find out why it’s so vital to clean up our rivers ⬇️

Trump and Vance's arrogance and disrespect are losing the USA friends all over the world.

Free speech "is in retreat" in Britain, says JD Vance, who is part of a Government which is now targeting critical news organisations with politically-motivated investigations, while banning others from the White House for the crime of referring to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

Wow! German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius SLAMS JD Vance's speech as undemocratic and calls it "not acceptable."

“Here in Germany, we fight for your right to disagree against us.”

He’s 100% right!

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

The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them as visible to the public as the original lie.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

NHS crisis
Prison crisis
Social care crisis
Housing crisis
Cost of living crisis

14yrs of Tory failure, corruption and waste.

10wks of Labour govt and the rightwing are in moralising meltdown.

We’re in this mess cos they never gave a shit. Let’s not kid ourselves they care now.

Where brain drain = tiny number of Tory millionaires fear having to pay more tax or having to treat their employees better and would rather make no contribution at all. These dismals aren’t investing in Britain. They’re just in it for themselves. Like this grotesque grifter.

Good 9 min interview by Transparency International with Mr James OB. They couldn’t find anywhere else in the WORLD that had a VIP Lane let alone one that kept on running for months and months and months even until Eat Out To HO was ongoing

This is true. And the blocking system is much more effective on Bluesky than it ever was on TwitteX.
