Rejoin is coming: Talk of the customs union and single market is a distraction. Only full membership offers a compelling vision of Britain's future

Thoughts on the economic consequences of Trump's elusive peace, can Europe escape its US dependency problem, why the Hungarian election is a watershed moment regardless of who wins, and why cybercrime is the next catastrophic risk
This is excellent - packed with interesting information and insightful analysis
The government is once again facing pressure over its policy on the privatised water industry. Today, that pressure has come in the form of a new petition which has been launched calling for a referendum on taking the industry into public ownership. leftfootforward.org/2026/04/new-...

It’s remainers, sensing the tide turning finally in their favour, who want to make a big deal of an anniversary that leavers would seemingly rather forget ..we will not let them
Ten years after the Brexit vote, Trump’s disdain & insults are fuelling the belief the UK should renew ties with Europe
“Australians can now live & work freely in the EU for 4 years and vice versa
That means they now have 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 EU rights than British people. Free movement offered millions of us fantastic opportunities but Brexiteers slammed that door shut, most shamefully on their own children”
I didn’t know that Ellison was the largest private donor to the Israeli Military…let alone that he’s a a mate of Netanyahu…who has holidayed on his private island.
So well done @ledbydonkeys.org
Interesting that he uses this expression 'not going after arrows, going after archers' - exactly the unusual (?) term used by Badenoch at PMQs. As with Trump's repetition of her linkage of Starmer's policy with the G&D by-election there seems to be two-way traffic in sticks with which to beat the UK
These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Just a reminder ...
Starmer supporters once told us we had no choice but to swallow Brexit and his silly red lines because otherwise it would "upset the right wing press". ... Well, seeing as they're upset now anyway, why don't we just forget them and apply to rejoin at least the Single Market?

And apparently, UK citizens are now poorer than EU citizens (due to Brexit, a better recovery from Covid, and eastern Europe closing the wages gap). 🇪🇺
Elon’s emails to Epstein.

"The economic cost of Brexit is no longer theoretical. It’s measurable, compounding – and devastating. Britain’s fastest-growing, most productive businesses before Brexit became the most damaged afterwards. Brexit punished the very companies that powered growth."
#RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺
Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.
Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?
"The end of the UK’s membership in the EU Single Market made trade between UK and EU more cumbersome and expensive. UK workers lost the automatic right to work in EU and vice versa. Brexit also ended fiscal transfers that supported UK agriculture, regional development, and research."
#RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺
In case you missed it:
Brexit. £90billion in lost tax receipts. 18% lost investment. 1.8 M jobs lost. 10 wasted years.
What utter fools we were to leave the EU, to destroy our trade, our security, our solidarity & trust & to lose jobs & investment, on the basis of a Special Relationship which didn’t exist.
10 wasted years.
The case to rejoin is being made stronger for us every single day.
I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵
Jesus FUCKING CHRIST
Nigel Farage here nailing Nadhim Zahawi's absence of principles.
Central bank independence - the latest evidence based thinking.
Non-partisan take:
Threatening the central bank chair leads to higher inflation with no gain in growth (recent studies and experience bears this out).

A large majority of UK voters believe immigration is increasing despite sharp falls in the number of people entering the UK, according to exclusive polling shared with the Guardian.

Every EU Member State except Hungary agrees to trigger enhanced cooperation (ie some Member States using EU law without the others) re loan for Ukraine - proposal goes to European Parliament for consent
BBC restricting access to BBC Sounds outside the UK. There may be commercial reasons for this but seems a shame.
Access is not impossible however.

In case you missed it:
Freedom of movement was our right. It was stolen from us. Brexit took away our rights whilst making us poorer and less safe.
It's worth noting that multiple opinion polls and surveys over the past 5 years show that there is a very strong majority in the UK in support of mutual Freedom of Movement with the EU.

SPOILER ALERT: Young Brits overwhelmingly support rejoining the Single Market, the Customs Union, and the whole EU with Freedom of Movement. Keir Starmer has said he rules all those things out "in my lifetime". He doesn't have young people's back, he's stabbed them in it and destroyed their future.
