The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill.

It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights.

It’s Project 2025

Privatisation in a nutshell:

Steal from us something we own.

Sell us back an inferior service at a higher price.

The pattern is the same everywhere: water, railways, the NHS, public services, council services…

Congratulations to Greenland’s new government and Premier-elect Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

You deserve partners who respect you and treat you as equals.

And the European Union is proud to be such a partner for you.

Farage’s links to MAGA fascist Steve Bannon need to be properly investigated…
Farage faces formal complaint over donations from rightwing US PR firm | Good Law Project
The globetrotting MP for Clacton has been taking advice from a former spokesperson for the far-right agitator Steve Bannon, but he hasn’t declared it as a benefit. So we’ve complained to parliament.

All this might be “difficult” but it’s better than letting the EU’s credibility evaporate, and it’s easier than fighting a huge war in the forests of Poland and Germany. Let’s not do that again. We promised ourselves that we wouldn’t.
