As Brexit negotiator, you made a holy show of yourself, Frost. Genuinely astounding that you now think you can pontificate about post-Brexit arrangements, as if you haven’t left behind you a stinking shitshow that has weakened and diminished our country for at least a generation.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

Also pissed off at Steeting going off on "biological sex is immutable for screening and healthcare" in parliament, if ignoring that we very much should be treated according to our current anatomy and hormones, and that treating us as our birth assigned sex will cause serious healthcare failures.

Merz is absolutely correct that decisions made in funding Ukraine in the next fortnight will “decide the question of European independence”.
With an aggressively imperialist Russia on its borders, Europe must act decisively or surrender its future to autocrats.

Call me a mad alien with a Ceefax fetish but I don’t think you should be allowed to drastically change the justice system without asking voters in advance. Starmer and Lammy, if you think this is so important you need to call an election and make your case. I’m free in January.

This country is going down the pan. Quickly. If we don't rejoin the EU at this pace the UK will be poorer than Poland by 2040. Sod trying to make the far right happy, I want our leaders to do what's best for the country. Otherwise many of us will retire to poverty.

In addition to the elements necessary for a just and lasting peace and Ukraine’s sovereignty:
any agreement must include the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
We will not rest until every single one of them is reunited with their families, in their homes.

We strongly oppose the introduction of the international student levy. It suggests a lack of understanding of the financial pressure on higher education. It is estimated that a

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Whatever the coming days bring, the lesson for Europe is clear.
Europe must never again be dependent on the US for defence and security.
Europe must quickly invest much more in defence capabilities - intelligence, weapons systems, nuclear deterrence - so that it can resist any potential aggressor.

I'm not exaggerating. It literally says trans people can be banned from all facilities entirely leaving them with nowhere to go at all. Since this covers public restrooms, workplaces, gyms, etc, this is effectively a full on ban on the participation of trans people in British society.

Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage
