Three weeks out from her election Trump has sent Federal agents in to raid US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. This is part of his attack on migrants, especially Somali migrants. We need to resist this racist authoritarian politics wherever it rises. Wrong in the US, wrong here too.

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.

This is how private interests manufacture consent for policies that are NOT in our interest Private companies have extracted £90 billion in dividends since privatisation - and loaded them up with £72 billion in debt It is time for Andy Burnham to bring our water into public ownership!
Graphic that shows that the new report purporting to show that it would cost £105 billion to nationalise England's water was funded by Water UK, an organisation that represents private water companies.

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.

'Odd' that we didn't have a 'national security emergency' over small boat crossings before Brexit and the last Tory Govt (with Home Office ministers like now-Refuk Braverman and 'Honest' Bob). And we didn't need to leave the ECHR or suspend international obligations with regard to asylum seekers.

Fine, if casting it as enemy action makes it easier to sell to people as an obviously fucking stupid thing to have done. But I do not see how Russian interference could amount to as much as a tiny fraction of the blame that should be laid on the Conservative Party, the Sun, the Mail and others.

Hard Brexit
could cost
£66bn a year


Leaked Treasury papers reveal lost revenue


Sam Coates Deputy Political Editor
Ollver Wright Policy Editor


Cabinet ministers are being warned
that the Treasury could lose up_to
£66 billion a year in tax revenues under
"hard Brexit", according to leaked
government papers.


GDP.could fall by as much as 9.5 per
cent if Britain leaves the single market
and hastorely on WorldTrade Organi-
sation rules for trading with the conti-
nent, compared with ifit stayed within
the EU,theforecasts show.Such a steep
drop in revenue would force ministers
to slash public spending or raise taxes.
The £66 billion drop, contained in a
draft cabinet committee paper seen by
The Times, is nearly a tenth of the
£716 billion that the government is pro-
jected to collect in taxes this year,and is
equivalent to 65 per cent of the annual
budget of NHS England.


Business leaders are_increasingly
worried that the UK could fail to nego-
tiate a deal with the 27 remaining EU
members by the time it leaves the
union, and will face a "cliff edge" of
trade tariffs and barriers,


Several cabinet ministers who sup-
ported Remain are stepping up efforts
to prioritise business concerns and the
economy in Brexit discussions, fearing
that Leave supporters fail to realise the
scale of potential damage, It comes as:;
○ Theresa May faces a potential legal
challenge by a group of Conservative
MPs over the decision to begin Brexit
negotiations without parliament's
approval. The prime minister's spokes-
man ruledoutgiving MPs a voteyester-
day,saying thatitwould"second guess'
the will of the British people.
○ Dominic Grieve, the former attor-
ney-general, said that unless the gov,
ernment could agree,a deal supported
by parliament it would not survive.
