While fires rage in large parts of Europe incl UK, farmers face crop failure and livestock loss, every RefUK or Tory politician on the news must be challenged on their "let's do away with costly net zero nonsense" stance, side-by-side with live images of the cost of inaction. Expose the charlatans.

❓How much would EU membership benefit the UK economy? 👏 Answer - At least £92 billion over 10-15 years. 💪 EU membership could recoup over 90% of the damage to our economy from Brexit predicted by the OBR. The research suggests that membership would deliver a 3.6% boost to the UK’s economy

🎯🎯🎯 There needs to be far more transparency wrt the provenance of funding to all political parties, but most especially Reform UK. It is good to see elected MPs taking a stand. Democracy cannot exist corruption in politics is normalised.

"We can’t afford another decade in relative decline, putting off the inevitable due to a misguided fear of the political consequences. The EU is our future, and we have no time to waste in getting there." — Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London 👏👏👏 archive.is/202606210828...
Observer article by Sadiq Khan:

'"Brexit has cost Britain billions. It's imperative we rejoin the EU."

Polls show that the number of people in favor of rejoining the European Union is growing. Yhe Mayor of London sees no sense in delaying the inevitable.'

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

The joy today is that hatred lost. Doesn't matter what you think of Burnham. Farage tried to invite a race riot. He dealt in explicitly racial rhetoric. If he'd won, many journalists would have considered it a vindication of his approach and branded our outrage evidence of how out of touch we are.

If you’d like my illiberal hot take it’s that nobody should be allowed to vote unless they’ve passed an emotional intelligence test. :p If you’re so emotionally stunted that you can’t empathise with your fellow humans then you shouldn’t have a say in the lives of those fellow humans.

One of the more hopeful signs in UK politics is that Reform consistently struggles to poll above the mid-to-high 20s - despite a deteriorating economy, the simultaneous implosion of both the traditional parties and a pet TV station. Reform is not some unstoppable force. It's eminently beatable.

"One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin, "Try to get to shore and get some help, this could get really serious really quickly she told the broadcaster ABC. *I knew he was the strongest and he could do it." For the next few hours, she and her rounger children clung to their paddle boards. Austin set off on an inflatable kayak wearing a lifejacket.

Quite irritated by this Love Actually description about UK-US relations. It is not about having a tantrum in public then getting twatted for it. It's about taking concrete action to reduce UK dependency on a country which no longer respects us or shares our values.
