Ed Miliband: "When I think about our security and defence, when I think about our trade, when I think about our values, I think we do need a deeper and stronger relationship with the European Union." UK’s future lies back where we belong: Europe ♥️

In addition to the racism and violent language about the King... Reform would appear to have a misogyny problem too. The party of "protect our women" looks like it needs to start that at home and warning this is offensive stuff. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...
Whelan then discussed another female Reform
candidate in Birmingham, saying that he "would
have been sniffing that seat as soon as she got up.
If she'd have given me a hug I'd have f******
fingered her".The men then go on to discuss a female Reform
candidate from Solihull, using sexist and sexually
aggressive language.


"That's reminded me, I need to buy an orange in a
sock," said Councillor Feeney,


"If she was my daughter, it would still be bath night
on a Thursday. l'l wash you properly this time,"
added Whelan.

Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit. Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.
The Independent front page headline: 

Burnham edges Labour closer to rejoining EU
After Ed Miliband tells party conference Britain's future is at the heart of Europe, ministers say it is 'not if but how' prime minister will include Brexit reversal in next election manifestoThere is growing optimism that a way back into the EU could be put to voters at the next election after the prime minister and senior ministers made it clear they believe Brexit has been a failure at this year's party conference.
When The Independent asked Mr Burnham about whether Rejoin would be in Labour's next election manifesto on his recent trip to the UN in New York, he refused to rule it out - having said a year ago when he was
Manchester mayor that he believes the
UK should rejoin the EU.

Andy Burnham has already warned about the 'drift and division' in the decade since Brexit (Getty)

There's been a lot of discussion since Burnham called for a new 'national conversation' on Brexit but this is one of the most helpful interventions. 'National conversation' is such a nebulous term so I think @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social is right to argue for a structure within which it could occur.

They see Farage for who he is. That's why they are attracted to his party. That is why they feel free to share their abhorrent views. That's why anyone who votes for Reform is either racist, extremely guillible, or both. That's why the media giving Farage a platform are no better than this.

I find it fascinating that the very firm borders we have now are largely 100 or so years old. For most of our history, you could move pretty much where you liked. Passports were a wartime restriction that got cemented rather than lifted.

Seriously, we need to stop thinking of freedom of movement as some kind of necessary evil, but as something thoroughly good. There’s a reason it’s an intrinsic part of the single market. If you don’t understand that, you don’t understand the single market.
