Joining Erasmus+ is great news - but we must now go further in resetting relations with the EU.

"It is one of the clearest signs yet of what Keir Starmer wanted to do when he came into office, which was reset relations with the European Union."

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

BP Pulse charges between 44p and 89p (inc 20% VAT) per kWh to charge your car. Domestic electricity - which includes cost of environmental subsidies and 5% VAT - costs 25.73p. Wholesale price currently 7.9p before VAT. Someone is being ripped off by someone!

Reinstating the winter fuel allowance is vital, but Farage’s plan to pay for it by cutting the Net Zero budget is madness - locking us into *higher* energy bills by increasing reliance on costly gas imports, rather than supporting cheaper green energy to get bills down for all of us 🙄

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, ‘levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power?
No.
You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out “the lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.

The gulf between what London is actually like & how it is portrayed by terminally online, self-styled ‘patriots’ & their political heroes is absolutely incredible. I wonder how much it has to do with the city repeatedly electing a Muslim mayor…

A reminder about how much the Brexiteers cared about fishing before it became a talisman for their idiotic campaign.

Nigel Farage attended only 1 of 42 meetings when he was appointed to the EU fisheries committee

To those saying ‘the NHS is a bottomless pit of money’ please take a look at this graph from the commonwealth fund, (an independent think tank in Washington that assesses different healthcare systems) in 2024.

We spend less than many comparable countries on health.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.
