This is an image of British Commandos on a approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t” westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

One more time, BBC News: the word is "PEOPLE".
A TV showing the BBC News channel. On screen, a grey-haired woman (I don't know who it is) looking down at her notes.

Across the bottom of the screen, a chyron: the BBC News logo, then the headline "Several migrants die in English Channel".

This is the same tired old trope we have seen trotted out by the far right and other racists for years. It's nonsense. "English identity", is pretty undefined as it is, but what we do know is that pretty much every aspect of our culture has been influenced by migration. #R4today

The UK’s membership of the European Union gave us so many benefits that we’ve now lost through Brexit. It’s so important to keep talking about Brexit to keep the pressure on Keir Starmer and the Labour government to prioritise a route back to EU membership. youtu.be/kFIFDKyo3nk?...

Labour's focus on immigration and border security is a rehash of failed Tory policies
