Anyone else seeing a lot more new followers from North America but far fewer from the UK and rest of Europe? I despise Trump and his nationalistic bilge but my near exclusive focus on here is the campaign to start fixing the harm of Brexit and to secure a representative electoral system in the UK.

1) It’s not “the botched deal”, it’s Brexit tout court and 2) the black hole that it’s left is far far more than a billion quid.

I left X ages ago but remember the outspoken musings of one Lance Forman, a former Brexit Party MEP and also a Jew. Has he ventured a response about these allegations against Farage?
The traitor, farage, would hang around outside Jewish Prayers on a Friday, with his minions, to then victimise those Jewish boys as they left.
He did this even as an adult.
He is an extremist far right racist, and a fascist at his soulless core.
There is no excuse if you ever vote for reform.

Starmer accuses the Brexiters of selling Brexit on lies and false promises. He’s guilty of pretence and obfuscation now. The EU won’t trust us or even consider major changes to the current deal if British politicians continue to lie, hedge and mislead. Act like a leader, Starmer. Damnit, man. LEAD.

It will only prove significant if Starmer breaks his own manifesto red lines on the single market and a customs union. He has given no indication of doing so yet.

A pattern is developing. Whereas the UK as a member had to be awkward to brandish eurosceptic credentials to the nationalistic part of the population, the UK outside has to promise unending rapprochement in tiny steps to brandish EU-friendly credentials to the pro-EU population.

If Britain is broken, key figures now in Reform helped break it. A Labour government would ordinarily be exploiting the vandalism of hard Brexit which Farage supported and still does but it can’t because, thanks to its 2024 manifesto pledge, it too is now wedded to this folly.
