The farming sector has been one of the most affected since Brexit. Farmers are experiencing a loss of profit after a drop in subsidies after we left the EU. It’s essential that we work with Europe to save British farming.

They smell blood... even Russia is wading in. The BBC is not perfect, but globally it is the number one trusted broadcaster. Private individuals can be bought and manipulated— publicly owned, not so much. It's why they want to destroy it, and why we should protect it.

So, Trump gives Argentina $40 billion to prop up a tinpot dictator, yet allows a private donor to donate $130 million to pay military wages because of a govt shut down which many think is so a newly elected senator cant be sworn in as her vote would ensure the win needed to release Epstein files 😳

As someone from south Wales I was so relieved when Reform lost in Caerffili by-election
But from May 2026 a new election PR system for the Wales & the Senedd comes into place that could see Reform gain very significantly there

People have no idea the vast expense that has had to be laid out, in many cases just to accommodate the selfish isolation of Brexit.

Is it too little too late though for Labour to only now be jumping on the Brexit blame bandwagon?
They should have been hot on the topic since before the election. Brexit has made the country poorer caused taxes to rise. That should have been their mantra, after all the public know it to be true.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.
So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.
