A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

This is why you need people talking very positively about Europe and what it represents, and common European identity. Leaders have to do this. It's the only way for UK to go through accession. Still waiting.

For a long time I have heard rumours of secret flights into Dubai: plane loads of complete nutcases. I have never believed it and still don’t. If true, it should bring down Isabel Oakeshott as she is one. 🤪

On the other hand there might in the future actually be a positive pro EU campaign. Hasn't happened since 1975, doesn't mean it couldn't happen... So, numbers could go down or up...

UK trade policy failed in large part under the guidance of those quoted in this article, and worse still none of them appeared to learn anything from it, so really not a strong counter to movement towards the EU. www.politico.eu/article/tori...

On this Peter Oborne column in @bylinetimes.bsky.social September issue, I can certainly 100% agree. The World Tonight and the Midnight news cut by BBC News does feel like a bereavement. Comments on Rajan, and Mishal Hussain - yes, quite right. BBC, beloved, but heading in the wrong direction.

UK is just going to spend a year or so arguing about the EU relationship. But basically it will boil down to "do we use Arial or Verdana to write 'we want EU benefits without FoM, Euro, any financial services restrictions or the ECJ. '" Could even demand the EU apologize for brexit. No change.

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

But perhaps more this, from someone I seem to disagree with a lot, Naomi Smith but who hits the nail square on the head. Canada's lesson is tone. The UK needs to *apply* for membership. Ends
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/canada-eu-associate-member-uk-brexit-andy-burnham-b3051186.html

Both economies “are being squeezed by the inflationary impact of Trump's trade wars, deepening the cost of living crisis for their citizens, and neither can count on the US as a reliable trading partner, and both are threatened by an authoritarian in Moscow determined to destroy our liberal democracies,” she said.

“Carney is treating the EU as the strategic asset it is, and the UK must do the same, going much further than the status quo to signal our intention to apply for membership. Voters want it, our economy needs it, and Burnham can deliver it.”

Reality can be cruel. It will take many people within the UK a generation ir more to come to terms with the fact that the UK is becoming irrelevant within Europe. By then it will be extremely difficult to reverse.

FPTP alone is enough for the UK not to qualify for membership. Being able to win almost absolute power on the basis of 34% (and potentially even less) of the votes is simply not a system worthy of the name democracy.
