This, by Best for Britain, is a superb piece of work.
It shows that the UK public prioritise the EU over the US for trade, values and trust.
This is also true of voters who switched from Tories to Labour in the recent general election.

New poll: Europe is public’s priority in face of Trump tariffs
Important new poll shows twice as many voters think the UK should prioritise increasing trade with the EU compared to those who favour the US.

During the pandemic 17 firms supplied £119m worth of PPE that was deemed unusable in the NHS. Since the start of 2024, they’ve made £83.6m. How is this even possible?

UK PM Keir Starmer wants to build 1.5m homes by 2029
Commendable. BUT
Govt doesn't build homes. Councils not allowed
Private sector lacks capacity
Materials shortage - 500m bricks imported a year, 1.3m metric tons cement; lack of wood, steel
Shortage of skilled labour
Anyone connecting the dots?

I’m disgusted by the British MSM totally ignoring Amnesty International’s report on Israel’s Genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people. Not even C4 news this evening mentioned it-it’s like, follow UK’s government lead, eyes blinkered, head in sand. Tbh, totally ashamed of GB, glad I’m Irish 🇮🇪 🍀.

Who can afford longevity in a cost-of-living crisis?
We all need a healthy diet. So why are politicians normalising food banks and allowing malnutrition and associated illnesses to rise?

Isn't it weird that a country/colony that produces oil and gas has no oil refinery, but the country next door that produces very little oil and gas has 5. Also weird how Scotland produces green electricity but pays the highest to use it.

More than 277,000 people used a Trussell food bank for the first time between April & September this year, according to the latest statistics. More than 1,428,000 emergency food parcels were given – 508,000 of which to children. Still need a £250 advent calendar?
