A huge 68% of respondents in Britain see a benefit in reintroducing cross-Channel freedom of movement in exchange for access to the European single market.
Sadly the clueless Starmer thinks it's better to cling to the cult of Brexit, and do a deal with Trump.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials.
Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room.

The mainstream media outlets we keep sharing on here are the same outlets who’ve always convinced us there will be massive public outrage if Democrats lack decorum but also voters just love the energy and fight in Republicans.
They’re against us. Drop them. Even their positive spins are traps.

Federal Judge Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to stop deporting immigrants and directed that-if removals were ongoing-the planes must be turned around
Rubio clearly violated that order

The librarians, who are really good at organizing things, are mobilizing against Trump’s effort to delete the agency supporting libraries and museums in all 50 states.
🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.
Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.
