‘The only idea around’: will Labour return to a customs union with the EU?

Last night, Royal Marines musicians performed at a ceremony to light the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square, London. The tree is a gift from Norway to thank the UK for its support during the Second World War. Thousands of Armed Forces personnel will spend Christmas on

Strangely many US republicans think that the US still finances Ukraine. The US has not given any new funding to Ukraine since Putin's servant Trump became US president. Biden had secured some funding to continue. Trump's US supports Russia, not Ukraine.

On this day, 31 years ago, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum. Under this agreement, Ukraine relinquished the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from the United States, the United Kingdom, and russia. Before the Memorandum was signed,

Horrific photos of the completely destroyed train station in Fastiv, Kyiv region, after the Russian attack.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Vladimir Solovyov called for assassinations of Ursula von der Leyen, Kaja Kallas and others. Solovyov rejoiced that Trump is echoing Russian rhetoric and expressed hope he'll imprison former US Ambassador Michael McFaul. https://t.co/ck5E5SeSnG

The UK does not need to look across the Atlantic for protection when our closest neighbours stand prepared to defend the same values and security. Our future and security lie with Europe.

I don’t care if Reform calls me a bad word on WhatsApp. But the story behind its gaffe is far more worrying The leaked exchange shows how much the party dislikes scrutiny – which reveals a lot about its approach to governing https://t.co/IZ6rk88zyu

By the way, don't ever forgot that this random rich dude lied about "barely any of his senior leadership team" knowing who the Russian traitor was. When in fact, most of them knew him, campaigned with him and were friends with him. Nothing fishy about that at all... 🤔

Reform mayoral candidate called for Lammy to ‘go home’ to the Caribbean Nigel Farage urged to fire Chris Parry after string of ‘grotesque’ remarks https://t.co/0mBfobAojC

BBC Question Time is an utter disgrace! What could be more biased than having me as a guest 38 times but letting two immigrants into the audience for a debate on… er… immigration.

The Sun calling Starmer’s approach a ‘Brexit betrayal’ is hilarious. Starmer has ruled out the single market, customs union and freedom of movement. The only betrayal happening is of the British people - by a press trying to install Farage. This is the same Murdoch machine

I can’t believe UK media has spent the last 2 weeks discussing whether it ‘s fair to call Farage a racist based on his teenage behaviour… As titillating as it is to question accounts of the bullying behaviour of a boy Nazi they could just look at what he does as an adult 🙄

The snowflakery from Reform is quite hideous. ❄️❄️❄️ Two migrants were on BBC QT, they asked questions, we answered them. Some of it was controversial. Welcome to freedom of speech. Now the Reform snowflakes have lodged a complaint. They simply can’t handle politics. It’s too

Farage says he can't be held responsible for being a racist and antisemite when a teenager. Yet he thinks Shamima Begum is entirely responsible for her behaviour when the same age... #Reform #racism #Antisemitism

The State Dept. is instructing its officers to deny visas to those who engage in “activities including combatting misinformation, disinformation or false narratives, content moderation, compliance, and trust and safety”. https://t.co/miDMY1bm85

Richard Blumenthal: Kidnapping children is more than a war crime. It is literally genocide. The goal is the destruction of Ukrainian identity. We need to pass the bill on sanctions, recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, and also try to use frozen Russian assets. 1/

🔴The ‘Pink Ladies’ Laundering Anti-Migrant Views Into the Mainstream An anti-migrant movement backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and regularly invited onto news channels is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist https://t.co/B1nrU34pjD

Military personnel in years 2-5 of service will get the cost of their travel home covered this festive period. Previously, they didn’t qualify for travel support. We are changing that this Christmas. We are on the side of our armed forces.

@TiceRichard Awful week for Reform 💥 Farage accused of racism and antisemitism 💥 Legal asylum seekers included in debate on immigration and Zia loses the plot.. 💥 28 witnesses complain about Farage allegations of racism Next ? @LBC @BBCNews @SkyNews
