Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.

Our undercover reporter @scatatkins.bsky.social posed as a far right journalist at the Reform Conference, and got thrown out for asking difficult questions about Farage's corruption scandal.

Why isn’t there a total moratorium on all reporting on Reform until after the multiple investigations into their finances have been completed? Free propaganda for potentially corrupt liars should be banned. It might make them think twice before breaking rules and taking the piss out of all of us.

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.

Brexit bears huge responsibility for the far right strutting about our political stage today. It endorsed racism and ignorance as “legitimate concerns” and it promoted politicians who lied and dissembled because they couldn’t tell voters they’d betrayed them. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Brexit's other legacy, besides upending the old Labour-Tory duopoly, is not measurable in pounds or percentages but is just as real. It is visible in the coarsening and darkening of the national conversation, in the aggression and even hatred that, previously pushed to the margins, now loiter in the centre of the public square. This week the leader of the party that brought us Brexit warned of civil war.
It would be wrong to cast the referendum as the sole cause of this shift - Brexit was, in part, a symptom of the change - and we can all see the role social media and the likes of Elon Musk have played in degrading the discourse. But Brexit both accelerated and intensified that process.

The argument for freedom of movement really needs to be made daily/hourly – long before we even get onto Rejoin. Because the entirety of British politics is still tiptoeing around it (see the Libdems proposing a customs union).

Rachel Reeves has acknowledged what previous governments refused to admit. Brexit has left deep, lasting damage to the British economy, driving up costs and stalling growth. The Chancellor now says it is partly to blame for the black hole in November’s Budget. The reckoning has begun.
