I don't know if you know Vortex magazine from @bigfinish.bsky.social. It's edited by the charming @finishedzine.bsky.social and is available free as a pdf online or in paper form with physical orders from Big Finish. There's been a couple of really good things in it over the last couple of weeks.

When, during the local election campaign, did mainstream journalists mention Farage's links with Russia, Trump, and Andrew Tate? The mainstream news media is helping Farage and fascism by turning a blind eye to the damning truth of who and what he is.

Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born.

It would save many millions £, reduce border friction and grow our economies. I hope HMG listens.
🚨NEW: 19 UK & EU industry bodies have joined forces to call for a mutual recognition agreement on conformity assessment.
Sounds technical - but CRUCIALLY this is a practical, achievable measure to reduce unnecessary barriers to UK-EU trade. Proposed by @uktradebusiness.bsky.social in 2023!
