"Britain is not where any of us would wish it to be", Andy Burnham has said... So why are we not currently and actively trying to #RejoinEU? It is one thing admitting the problem, now we need to administer the solution!

We've had less than ten convictions for postal vote fraud over the last 30 years but despite this fact, Farage is again emulating his criminal, rapist and paedophile idol by wanting to end postal voting.

Fossil fuel demand is still growing — but solar and wind are growing faster. EVs are surging as oil prices spike. The transition is happening. The question is whether we accelerate it fast enough to avoid the worst. Speed matters. #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy
If 10yrs on, £Billions wasted and zero benefits later makes you angry enough about Brexit, then don’t be checking this out to see just how much we threw away, risked and lost, so we could crow about sovereignty and put flags on roundabouts instead. what-europe-does-for-me.europarl.europa.eu/en/focus

A life of many colours RIP Dolly Parton One of the Good Ones
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library gifted more than 332,000,000 books since it was first created 31 years ago.
Reform will spend the entirety of the Farage investigation squid-inking ridiculous policies that are never going to happen & our media will lap them up. If only we had a culture secretary willing to make the BBC unbiased again...

“the reality is, Zia Yusuf only came 3rd out of 5 “right-wing” politicians tested” “His net approval rating is negative. And most people have never actually heard of him or basically have no opinion of him at all.” Such swagger for such a dismal nobody. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zia...
Zia Yusuf fact-checked after boasting about his personal polling
Zia Yusuf has been fact-checked after he proudly boasted about polling data which he claimed showed how popular he was.

The BBC needs 'slamming' but this goes beyond the BBC and Gibbs, the condemnation should be thrown at Ofcom who aren't doing their job and Nandy who has been missing from day 1.
BBC slammed over pushing Reform UK propaganda yet again
Overly eager to air Reform's latest press conference, the BBC displayed an empty podium for the better part of an hour. What the hell?

For our American friends: A ‘Chelsea tractor’ is an oversize SUV. And yes, there are now far too many on narrow UK roads.
FFS, people - if you must drive a Chelsea tractor, why are you sitting, waiting, with the engine on? It burns petrol, thus a) costing money b) putting carbon into the atmosphere c) putting NOx and particulates into the air we breath #LowCarbonLiving
Reform UK MPs who love hobnobbing with the super-rich and utterly despise anyone who is poor have forgotten who their core voters are ... meme via We Demand UK
Why isn’t there a total moratorium on all reporting on Reform until after the multiple investigations into their finances have been completed? Free propaganda for potentially corrupt liars should be banned. It might make them think twice before breaking rules and taking the piss out of all of us.
Why haven’t Labour even attempted to tackle the problem of the Nigel Farage fetishists in the leadership of BBC News and Politics yet?
I see outrage from the media at the idea of British nationals being expelled from EU countries where they have been resident for years thanks to post brexit changes Yet they will happily report all the "send them home" xenophobia from the likes of Reform Double standards, anyone?

Let’s remember today that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...
If UK media actually explained Nigel Farage’s policies to the public no one would be supporting him

People of colour are nothing new to European society. Here's are some beautiful studies of a Flemish neighbour of Peter Paul Rubens from over 400 years ago, painted in around 1615.
"Proposed new property tax scheme, LVT (Land Value Tax) in the UK: a band H home now pays ~£4,081 in Council Tax, but under an LVT that would be £30,534 — *though should they sell, a stamp duty bill would be waived*." What am I missing here? You DON'T pay Stamp Duty when you sell, only when you buy
First we have the Farage-attention-seeking-fanfare press conference to allow him to announce some steaming horseshit policy. Then we have the ‘why it’s steaming horseshit’ aftermath. But it’s already too late. Much like the filth pumped into our rivers and seas, our politics is hideously polluted.
Jeff Bezos and Facebook's Eduardo Saverin are planning to buy a large stake in Liverpool FC. This is terrible and should be blocked. Football clubs should be owned by the countries they are in so the money from their supporters goes back to THEIR communities.

Burnham ‘handed post-Brexit plan that could see Britain rejoin EU single market’
The proposal would reportedly see Britain promise to extend the protection of Britain’s Armed Forces and nuclear deterrent across Europe, in exchange for access to the EU’s free-trade zone

Reform UK is accepting cryptocurrency donations. That means money can enter British politics without clear traceability. Experts have already warned this creates a serious risk of hidden funding and foreign influence. This is not acceptable in a functioning democracy #ReformSleaze
