On 23 June 2026, Britain marks ten years since the Brexit referendum. We were promised £350 million a week for the NHS. We were promised the easiest trade deals in history. We were promised sunlit uplands.
Research now shows the economy is 6-8% smaller,

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating.
Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.
I'm delighted that #Orbán has been defeated, but, as I understand it, #Tisza is a centre right party and there will be no centre or left of centre representation. I wonder what will actually change for the people of #Hungary. #Disclaimer - I'm just some knobhead on the internet.
A lot has bothered me about the reporting of the Kanye West banned. Firstly how it has been framed as all about it the Jewish community - but we should all be against Nazism! This country fought Nazis. Songs called Heil Hitler should not just be for the Jewish community to object to. And secondly…
Starmer rattled out a statement about Kanye West but nothing yet on the President of the United States threatening to wipe out an entire civilisation. Glad he’s got his priorities straight.
The US military has 22 sites in the UK.
Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.
This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.
The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.
Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.
Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
2/2 In other countries, eg Portugal, smaller parties field a combined lists to get over this. In Wales, combined @plaidcymru.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk lists in each constituency would give Reform a real kicking
Yes, it will be D'Hondt, so as proportional as practical. The problem with that is that it favours larger parties. It normally takes 13% of the vote to get any representation. 1/2
Nothing says patriotism like buying a flag jumper from a sweatshop in China…
No confirmed reports from US or independent sources. Iranian FM claims the US struck a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island (affecting 30 villages' water), calling it a war crime.
"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?"
"You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"
Whatever about getting to slag off England rugby, I'm absolutely over the moon delighted for Italy. They've been working so hard at this for so long, and finally seem to be coming over there brow of that hill. Forza! 🤌
A common sight across Wales. Bilingual road signs cause around 2,000 accidents a month in Wales as confused English brains overload with the additional data.
Reform UK supporters on Facebook aren't taking this news very well...
L'Italia s'è desta!

BREAKING: military experts express grave concern as a photo is leaked of President Trump appearing to "stock" his private bunker located underneath the White House, with vital supplies.
Black-and-white editorial cartoon of a farm labeled “Reform UK Ltd.” A smiling caricature of Nigel Farage leans on a fence while turkeys fill pens behind him. In the foreground, a turkey stands on a shoebox using a megaphone labeled “MSM,” calling for Christmas, as a farm worker pulls another turkey away. Caption at bottom reads: “Don’t be a Turkey, don’t vote Reform.”
Don't be a Turkey
The big problem with this is that Wales already has a progressive alternative, @plaidcymru.bsky.social. If the progressive vote is split 3 ways, between #Plaid, @greenparty.org.uk and @welshlabour.bsky.social, the beneficiaries will be #ReformEnglandLtd.
“I saw someone refer to the IRGC as the resistance because it opposes Western imperialism. So let's just be clear here. The resistance is the people. The resistance is the doctors who were given death sentences for treating wounded protesters…”

Let’s not hide from the truth however much we hate him: Ian Huntley was murdered.

What a game! If somebody has said France will score 40 points and lose who would have believed that. The Scottish effort and expression from the backs, especially in the first hour was gargantuan. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
