The Panorama edit was clumsy. But the facts remain. It was a violent insurrection to upend a democratic vote. Looking at the wild outrage here, we’d be forgiven for thinking Jan 6th never happened. In terms of bias, this is off the scale worse. With Farage delighting in the damage.

A really positive meeting today for the West Northamptonshire Lib Dems, covering a range of themes. A big welcome was given to Harry, a former Labour Councillor who has joined the team. Thanks to everyone who came along. @libdemlocalgov.bsky.social

Nobody, even with half a brain can honestly say #Brexit has worked. You know this, I know this & you can bet your life so does #Starmer.

So this pretence of trying to 'make Brexit work' is nothing but a sham. Why do every PM since muppet #Johnson try to do the impossibe? Same "owners"??

#RejoinEU
Starmer still pretending he can make Brexit work, still refusing Single Market, Customs Union or Freedom of Movement.

He's making things worse, not better.
Strong 'bald men squabbling over comb' vibes to this attack line. Yes, Nigel Farage drove the economy into a cul de sac with Brexit. But the dude who refused to reverse it out is Keir Starmer.

Brexit was partly brought about by hate and fear. Returning to the EU should be central to any party’s policies who fight division.
"During Hate Crime Awareness Week, we call on everyone - individuals, organisations and political leaders - to stand up against hate, support those affected, and help build a society where everyone can live free from fear, prejudice and discrimination."

Reform UK MP Danny Kruger doesn’t give a shit about his constituents.

He can write all the letters he likes to help himself sleep at night, but the bottom line is he’s betrayed his constituents by defecting and he knows it.

Key to a policy of hope, focusing on ‘neighbours’ is looking towards Europe and rejoining the SM and CU and eventually the EU as a whole. That is where our future lies.
That is what I am waiting for politicians to shout loudly and repeatedly.
“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.”

Trump has reduced US economic growth from 2.8% in 2024 to about 1.5% in 2025 & staying there.
It surprises me that his damage has not been greater, but this is minor stagflation, lower growth & too high inflation - now 2.9%.
It is likely to get worse.

And yet you seem to believe that the accession criteria will never change. Ostensibly they have. And will continue to do so.

Without doubt the UK will also change. Social media will mean that populism will feature more highly unless the rest of us can be more flexible and understanding.
