Farage gets voted down on leaving the ECHR… for now.
Ed Davey quite rightly tears a strip off him.
But really, the corrupt leader of a racist party threatening to remove our protection from abuses of power by our own government, should be the biggest red flag going.

⭐️ 50 YEARS AGO TODAY ⭐️
17.4 million people voted “Yes” to Europe…
…the single largest vote for any single proposition in the UK’s history.
This 17.4M was from a pop at the time of just 56M - and represented a massive 67% of all votes cast.
Let’s do it again. #RejoinEU

Labour is searching for the tools to fight Reform's rise, and the biggest chink in their armour could be the catastrophe that is Brexit.

Even as they try and narrow the post-Brexit gap with the EU on things like SPS checks for food, Labour continue to drive forward plans to weaken environmental protections in ways that would never be allowed in the EU. All deviation makes an eventual Rejoin harder.

Labour will lose the next general election if it continues on its current trajectory. I suggest all pro EU Labour MPs consider leaving and linking with @greenparty.org.uk and @libdems.org.uk to provide a real pro EU, anti austerity alternative.

Reform’s threat to the mainstream parties is unique in UK political history
Reform UK threatens both main parties by crossing ideological lines, and Farage’s staying power changes everything
