At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

I’ve just spent a week on a small island off the coast of Sicily. Still could only see major stars & constilations. Yes there was a full moon & yes Etna’s erupting but you hope being on a boat in the middle of the sea… www.theguardian.com/environment/...

They might have been fined, but when it’s billions they’re screwing from us - they just don’t care. We now have a situation when there are no unpolluted waterways in England. Just thing about that a few years ago EU water regulations mean we had some of the cleanest beaches & rivers in Europe.

Both my parents served in WW2 & this statement from Miliband is very true. They worked so hard to rebuild & although both are now dead I fully believe in the EU, and our role as a full member. They survived & rebuilt. My father was Kindertransport. #RejoinEU @carladenyer.bsky.social

Well #Brexit has cost £1.2 trillion so far & will drain or GDP every day we stay out. Rejoining would help enable this, defence, NHS spending etc @carladenyer.bsky.social @labouruk.bsky.social

Great piece - do have a quick read and then share. Essentially, Labour putting Rejoin in its next manifesto is the single move that gives Labour the best chance at winning (possibly with a coalition) at the next General Election. 🌹🇪🇺

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’. Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.

Harborne calls his latest bung to Farage a “philanthropic gift to the country”. Philanthropy isn’t funding racists and climate deniers. Or funnelling cash into deregulation and removal of our rights so tax-avoiding billionaires can profiteer from the chaos. That’s just corruption. We don’t want it.
