During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
