British Conservatives: "Russia has disgracefully interfered in politics in France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and invaded Ukraine. They even meddled in the US elections." Also British Conservatives: "What? Russia! Interfere in Brexit? Ridiculous! Just a tired old conspiracy theory."

Need to let this out. Prominent producer of some Tory Internet pages for deeply into politics types is now on BlueSky & now most of his posts are BlueSkyish. "Ha ha wasn't Truss awful!" "Stand up for RNLI!" Remember him on BirdPlace. Fanatical Brexiter. You made those things, mate. Straight block.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Simply untrue. This is not a proposal for the UK to "rejoin the Single Market" - it's a proposal for dynamic regulatory alignment on goods. No free movement, very vague on services. Highly unlikely to be negotiable, but whatever it is it's not the single market.

Have banged on about this before, but it's infuriating how e.g. BBC R4 weather forecast just now talked of some areas of England "escaping rain" & sounding all jolly when saying some areas wil be dry and warm. Tiny showers apart, no rain here for 2 months. But it seems ingrained rain=bad, sun=good.

Lewis' conflation of migration with inner-EU FoM is blatant disinformation. The notion that the EU didn't realize the UK could leave is similarly misleading: the EU was prepared, it was the UK that was plan- and clue-less about leaving. Listening to these two, the UK still is clueless 🤷
