Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.
Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.
Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.
And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.
Thank you Zack. 💪

Honestly think anyone considering coming to the US for future international sports events should really consider it carefully. These people do not give due process. They don't care about your ID. They grab you if they don't like the look of you and then there's no telling where you'll end up.
Sour grapes. That’s why this is happening.

Data from the Office of National Statistics shows Londoners are less likely to be violent crime victims (26.4 offences per 1,000 pop) than the rest of England & Wales (31.9 offences). Violent crime has fallen in every London borough in the past year.

Farage is applying for a job.
That job is Prime Minister.
The only thing on his CV is Brexit.
He campaigned for it for 27 years.
So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS.
If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

ICE Trump regime trooper stands on top a mother with his fist clenched after shoving her to the ground in front of her children.
US media allege he was removed but MAGA insiders such as propagandist Jack Posobiec, claim he's being reinstated. Abusing women & children is a MAGA principle.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Never really got the outrage about ID cards when they were first proposed 20 years ago and get it even less now that almost every single human interaction is mediated, tracked and authorised on a second-by-second basis through our phones, anyway. What do people think it would really change?

Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’
FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare
