Yet some people think we should follow the advice of those who advocated it!

Whether you believe in the current monarchical constitution or some form of democratic republic - @RachaelMaskell is bang on the money here. This is about basic transparency, accountability, legitimacy & public trust.

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

I am old enough to remember no English club being allowed to play anywhere in Europe for 5 years (1985-90) because of football hooliganism. Luton Town banning away fans for 5 years, & Man City banning Millwall fans in 2001. So why the uproar when it’s Israeli football hooligans?

🇬🇧 “Take Back Control”? Border chief admits Brexit lost control. Asked to name one way Brexit has helped the UK “control its borders”, Border Security Commander Martin Hewitt replied: “Certainly not immediately… I’ll ponder on that.” Instead of control, Britain got chaos - and

Stayed in the centre of Nottingham last night. Absolute racket all night long: screaming, shouting, raucous laughter, loud music, sounds of destruction, revving cars, pissheads singing. Went on until 0500. Tremendous effort, everyone. 🫡

Zia Yusuf was a still paid up member of the @Conservatives at the very point he was made chairman of Reform. He was kicked out when the Guardian exposed him. Never forget that.

Which is why we have happily accepted ex Tories Lee Anderson, Andrea Jenkyns, Danny Kruger, Maria Caulfield, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Ross Thomson, David Jones, Richard Tice, Sara Pochin, Rupert Lowe and Adam Holliday into our party.

Today: Head of BoE says Brexit damaging the economy. Head of borders says Brexit hasn’t helped control borders. Head of the economy says Brexit has caused tax and inflation to rise. Leave voters caused irreparable harm.

Singer Jon Bon Jovi at a No Kings Protest today in New Jersey 🇺🇸 RETWEET if you stand with @JonBonJovi against Donald Trump!

Andrew Bailey, "For the foreseeable future, the impact of Brexit on economic growth in the UK is negative" "Making an economy less open, restricts growth"

"A Wiltshire MP has hit out at utilities giant Thames Water, slamming its poor customer service, rising bills, and lack of accountability." At what point I wonder does govt realise it's backed the wrong horse, "a market based solution" and get on with doing what it should have

Brexit will hurt the economy for ‘foreseeable future’, the Governor of the Bank of England confirms. It’s years late, but much more of this Brexit truth-telling and the Government might actually have to do something about it.

Reform is tipped to win next week in Caerphilly, a bellwether election because Reform is coming for Wales first, then the UK. Yet close to zero scrutiny of the candidate, Llyr Powell’s relationship with his former boss & friend, Nathan Gill. Why? Please read on & share 1/

The truth is that #Brexit has b*ggered Britain - economically & politically. It’s damaged our reputation and all but broken our British values.

People over 66 are warned this week to delete texts inviting them to claim Winter Fuel Payment. They are fakes, from thieves who want them to click on a link and steal their data. And later perhaps use that to steal their money. @bbcdanw explains @Moneybox noon @bbcradio4

When you hear established broadcasters say “But Maccabi played safely against its Turkish opposition” it’s a distortion: the game was played in Hungary - without fans.

🤢 “Listen love,” says Farage to a respected journalist. 🚨The sexism’s obvious. 🚨Then add his racism. 🇷🇺 Add the Putin fawning. 🚨Add Brexit. Farage is toxic and dangerous. RT if you agree. #StopSexism

Things that are simultaneously true: Antisemitism exists in U.K. & must end Maccabi fanbase incl a hardcore racist hooligan faction U.K. policing has been substantially under-resourced for years PMs & Home Secs should stay out of operational decisions made by police forces
