The BBC even as Reform are failing and Farage is discredited still pushing out their rubbish propaganda. There is no issue in this country with migrants, we aren't having our beaches swamped with small boats, but the BBC and Reform spread lies because the truth leaves them with no 'battle cry'.

The point of this despicable intervention by Jenrick isn't its feasiblity. It's to signal to his fellow fash he's hungering for the slaughter of subhumans & to further coarsen & pollute the national conversation by normalising such notions He will face no consequences

The modern tech cult is suffused with theology (the ‘Singularity’ is a ‘Rapture’ of ascension into the heavenly ‘Cloud’, for example). Even the doomerism is millenarian - a purifying Day of Judgement. There is very little that is scientifically rational, despite the surface appearance as such.

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

Farage's Reform are nothing but a Trump tribute act now. Out of desperation. Not strength. Today Farage has used the same words as Trump in 2016 to dismiss Russian state interference calling it a "Russia hoax." While Zia Yusuf wants a UK ICE: state sponsored thuggery & brutalism.

Even if the 27 or 31 ratify the UK, it would be some time in the 2030s. It might take about 3 years, in a best case scenario, although Barnier thought in June the opt outs might still be possible.

The UK only joins the EU (not rejoins) if the 27 member states agree. It only joins the EEA if it agrees to join EFTA and then if all 31 member states agree. There seems to be some confusion between a referendum and those processes. The UK needn't have the first but can't bypass the others.

My only reaction to this “news” is to say why has it taken so long? It’s not a surprise to anyone, Russia has been trying to influence public opinion and elections throughout Europe and even further afield for at least a decade, in fact they have probably been doing so in various ways for 50+ years

3. Brexit happened not because of one vote, but scores of public and parliamentary votes. It was the legitimate and settled (and wrong) decision of the UK. It has been ratified by international treaty and by our courts. Is the intention to cancel all those votes as well

2. This doesn't absolve responsibility for Brexit. Everything is still there, including those prédispositions mentioned above. Frankly, if Brexit hadn't been such a disaster, would Russian interference even have been brought up? It is very much still up to the voters to fix what they've caused.
