Starmer signals closer alignment with EU's single market to ease harm caused by Brexit
Starmer attacks Farage over
'botched' Brexit
The Labour leader has outlined the party's ambition for closer cooperation with Europe
"He said if we left the EU there would be less red tape for trading into Europe
- try telling that to any business that is trading into Europe.
"He said if we left the EU regular migration would go down - it quadrupled under the Boris wave. So I wouldn't listen too much to what Nigel Farage has to say about this."
Sir Keir described the previous government's Brexit deal as "botched" and highlighted Labour's efforts to negotiate new arrangements, including on food and agriculture, which he said
"lead to lower prices in our supermarkets".
Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse.
At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.

Drug laws have never stopped people from using drugs.

When career prosecutors resign because they’re being pushed to investigate a grieving widow instead of a federal agent who killed an unarmed woman, that’s not “law and order.” That’s a warning sign.

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

The joke is on Machado since in showing weakness and pathetically offering up her Nobel prize to Trump, he recognised how weak she is and passed over her for leadership backing in Venezuela.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Every single Republican member of the House just voted not to subpoena evidence and investigate the murder of Nicole Good. Republicans are corrupt, they don’t want justice, they don’t want answers, they are perfectly ok with Americans being murdered in the streets. Disgusting.
What are they hiding?

🎄In the holiday season, we've been looking back at all the reasons Thames should be taken into public ownership.
JULY: The Govt were stuck on a figure of £100bn to bring water into public hands. It wasn't just us saying this was wildly inaccurate. Here's Dr Ewan McGaughey.
