Brexit: So much work. So much time. So many resources. So much red tape. And yet so little progress. In fact, just relentless loss, risk and failure. It’s so mind-numbingly tedious. And no one who did this damage is ever held to account. But god they make a fuss about fixing it.

Marine Vlahovic, 39, was found dead in her home in Marseille while working on a documentary uncovering Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians at the end of 2024. There was never a criminal investigation and no cause of death has ever been released.

Joyful to see Goodwin and Farage having a huge wettie and rightwing media scrabbling around for credibility in the rubble of their cocky predictions and polling. You don’t have this in the bag.We voted for change in 2024. That never meant hate-fuelled populism. It meant hope. You don’t give us that.

Tragic really. 10 years on. Rocking back and forth in its pungent prejudice-and-nostalgia-soaked corner, begging the architects of their precious Brexit to make - whatever their impossible fantasy was - come true. It’s truly pathetic.

You can’t get the Brexit people voted for because it doesn’t exist. It was a con. A prejudiced, arrogant fantasy created by a cynical campaign of dishonesty. This is however the relentless, tedious Brexit reality. An ongoing national scandal. A betrayal of a country by its politicians and media.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road. No one’s held to account. No one’s fallen on their sword. No one’s got the guts to really speak out. So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.

Once again, this isn’t journalism. It’s stroking the ego of a politician who’s done great national harm. WhyTF should we take Farage seriously? Just because he wants power? Even more reason for ruthless scrutiny. His track record is racist and ruinous. Any serious journalist would say so. (iPaper)
COMMENT
The joke's over: Farage plays it straight in bid to be PM
Nick Robinson
Extract: I
t is the surest sign - although blink, and you just might have missed it. The man who can hardly start a sentence without adding a gag, or a grin, or a chortle, gave a speech about his approach to the economy in which he barely produced any. Nigel is trying to get serious.
What that tells me is that Mr Farage really does want power: He senses it is within his grasp. He smells it and, most importantly of all, he wants it. Badly.
The leader of Reform UK
declared that "above all we will be responsible and realistic". In so doing he seemed to admit that the policies he ran on at the last election were something of a joke. No one remotely serious believed they remotely serious because, as the Institute for Fiscal Studies said, the sums in Reform UK's manifesto did
"not add up".
Back then - scarcely more than a year ago - Farage said you could have pretty much everything you wanted from a government whilst actually paying less for it - much less. Taxes would be cut, and cut big time. It was going to be happy hour all day long. Every day. All year:
Yet now what he wants us to hear is very different. Now the man who really does want to be our next prime minister is saying, in eftect:
I'm awfully sorry, but we can't cut your taxes until we get our nationa! debt back under control. Trust me, he's saying, I can be the straight man as well as the funny guy.
.
.
.
.

Now he does have to show us all that he knows how to turn his words into reality, just as his lieutenants who are running councils up and down the land are discovering.
We know Farage really does want to be our next prime minister. It is time we all took that prospect seriously, and stopped treating him as a come turn or a pantomime villain in the national soap opera.
Serious times deserve serious answers. Let's see if Farage can provide them.

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform. A relentless klaxon of failure.
