The UK is rejoining the customs union! The Commons has just said so!*
*Not really, but the Lib Dems' ten-minute rule bill to do so has just passed, after a 100-100 tie with the deputy speaker casting a tie-break vote to allow the process to go on rather than stop.

You never really hear of the things the government are getting done, the bills they have pushed through. Instead the media amplifies the errors 10x and spout continuous nonsense from certain individuals to whip up hatred. I try not to pay attention to news anymore.

Every labour leaders position is untenable when the Mail, Telegraph, Express, Times are endlessly opining against their every move. This and Robbie Gibbs coup at the BBC, is a concerted effort to move the country right. The Labour govt must grow a spine and resist. Bring in PR, sack Robbie Gibb.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.
So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.
