Brexit ‘badly damaged’ our economy says David Lammy, the deputy prime minister also says rejoining the EU customs union would boost economic growth. More and more people are realising the sky doesn’t fall in when you tell the truth about Brexit!

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

How is an elected MP, who we pay £90,000pa to represent Skegness, allowed to live in Dubai so he can avoid paying taxes on the money we pay him?

Dear politicians,
Stop saying, "This is not who we are."
This is exactly who we are right now. It's your duty to help us defeat the fascists so we can stop being awful, which is what we are right now.
Thank you.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.
