“diplomats and analysts warn that Starmer may already have missed his opportunity for a grand pivot to Europe. Time is running out, both for negotiations and also to show voters any real economic benefit from closer links to the trade superpower across the English Channel”

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”
It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Saying, "I like Farage because he speaks his mind" is really saying, "I like him because he is a racist and a fascist and so am l"
#Farage is a #racist & a #fascist. If you vote for #Reform, then so are you. Simple as.

@pimlicat.bsky.social explains the findings of our latest report on LBC News.
A majority of voters more strongly support rejoining the EU than they do the government’s current approach to UK-EU relations. 🇪🇺

He’d have spared himself a lot of trouble if he hadn’t made McSweeney his chief of staff, Mandelson saga included.
If McSweeney and Mandelson take Starmer with them, it's only fair because he should have appointed neither. It was poor judgment, both times, and the selection of the right people for his administration is part of his job.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

We need closer relations with the EU to improve the UK economy. 🇪🇺

Stick to tax evasion, Tice. You're absolutely nailing that.

Notable that a bunch of the shits now calling out Starmer were quite keen on the appointment of Mandelson.
Most of the rest of us who are calling him out were *also* saying Mandelson's appointment was a disastrous idea *at the time*.

Peter Mandelson given access to top secret intelligence
The former British ambassador to the US was privy to information that if leaked would present a security risk

Overreliance on his adviser has cost the PM dearly, most missteps can be attributed to McSweeney.
"The original sin was the hubris of thinking that Mandelson was the right person for that job.
The latter movement by Starmer, to fire Olly Robbins, is jaw-dropping."
Civil servants are SEETHING after "slippery" Starmer threw Robbins - who did what was asked - under the bus.
Richard Tice said Angela Rayner should resign “if she had any moral decency” She did resign.
His tax dodging is far bigger than hers. He hasn’t resigned.
We can therefore conclude that even he admits he has no moral decency (something the rest of us already knew)

'Canada's economic ties with U.S. are a weakness that must be corrected.' Canadian PM Mark Carney.
Very sound advice.
This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.
Rules for thee, thou working-born lady risen high but not for me; for I do bend such laws to my own favour and call it virtue still!
Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.
This is simply not true. Labour didn’t have to go right. They *chose* to go right. The big majority was a chance to reset everything back to sanity. Starmer chose the mad, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest route instead.
An investigation from the Sunday Times has alleged Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax on shell companies.
Just a cheap data-harvesting exercise.
I'm amazed people still fall for this sort of shithousary!
