How come we have hundred of thousand using food banks but such high employment? The two don’t tally.

This is what #foodbank figures looked like during April-Sept of this year. This is not right. No one in the UK should need to turn to a #foodbank - our benefits system should be anchoring people from being swept into hunger & poverty #StopUKHunger >

Want to know how Brexit Red Tape is eroding the UK's tax base? In early January we had a request for samples of our CE marked IVD medical device from the leader of a Spanish regional Government.

I have a friend, let's call him Sam, in London. He is moaning about house prices forcing him out of his native Islington. Down to immigrants he thinks. Sam brought his council property 27 years ago. Rented it. Made a killing.

Over the next weeks you will be asked to compromise. Remember the Overton window now includes Remain. It is the best outcome for the UK, for you and for you kids. Anything else means populist bullshit have pulled our country off course. Double down on Remain.

I'd pay £19.00 per year to use the EU Fast track at airports alone. Brexit is a joke.

Called a traitor, a saboteur, a quisling, coward, metropolitan elite, a remoaner and told "We won. You lost", "Move to the EU", "I hope your wife is raped by immigrants/kids drown", "We've had enough of experts". Now victim blaming. Take some responsibility & fuck right off.
