Among those who did not vote in the 2016 referendum: “More than twice as many (43%) in this group said they would now vote remain rather than back leave (18%).” So, in total, the vast majority of UK residents see Brexit for the deceitful disaster it is. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

The absolute determination to never tell the truth is so deeply embedded in this car-crash government, that its decisions can only bring further disaster. The shortage of staff has been caused by Brexit - and all those EU nationals made to feel so unwelcome leaving our country.

‘Global Britain’ - the country whose population can barely be civilised to itself, which pretends it can “go global” and teach the waiting world a thing or two about ‘greatness’. God help us; we can’t even treat each other in a civilised way. theguardian.com/money/2021/oct…

This requirement will be a challenge, the demand of Brexiters being that there is no “bias”. How about a neutral Pol Ed. A neutral Pol Ed would be obliged to tell the truth - the unbiased truth of course being that Brexit is a catastrophe based on lies. theguardian.com/media/2021/oct…

We the peoples of the UK absolutely demand full answers to all the questions raised in this film. Boris Johnson Priti Patel MP Michael Gove and their henchmen and henchwomen have the stench of grand corruption about them - and must be held to account.

The moaning of ⁦@BillCashMP⁩ is like watching a crocodile shedding tears; while visceral in his loathing of the EU, he is snivelling because the EU is not rushing to accommodate the UK. It really is time EU-hating Brexiters discovered some integrity. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

This works out at £1,000/year less than Labour’s existing plans for at least £10 an hour for people working full-time. Much of it will be swallowed up by Tory tax rises, UC cut & energy bill failures. Only Labour is serious about improving work and pay. x.com/BBCBreaking/st…

So crass are the efforts by ⁦David Frost⁩ to feign upset as he tries to make out the ⁦European Commission⁩ is reneging on an agreement, that his record as the UK’s worst-ever ‘diplomat’ will surely never be surpassed. He shames our country. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

What the most dishonest PM in modern UK history omits to mention is that his failure to prepare COP26 as the French govt did in order to achieve the Paris accord, is why it is “touch & go”. Conference failure will be the failure o⁦f Boris Johnson⁩ theguardian.com/environment/20…

I just added my name to this emergency appeal for climate action by Greta, Vanessa, Mitzi, and Dominika. Sign now and share, and they'll deliver our voices directly to governments at the COP26 #climate summit. fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/cl…

…’the prime minister said the summit would be “the world’s moment of truth”’, though with truth being something in which the 20th century’s most dishonest resident of ⁦UK Prime Minister⁩ has no interest, the probability of failure is high. theguardian.com/business/2021/…

Failure at Cop26 could prompt “very difficult geopolitical events” including mass migration and global competition for food and water, ⁦Boris Johnson⁩ has said…both of which his Brexit has already foisted on the UK. theguardian.com/environment/20…

We knew this five years ago - and were spat at for supposedly peddling what the Brextremists called “project fear”. Will these same Brextremists now begin the process of apologising for wrecking our country with their fantasy lies? theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

Such a tragedy to see that the town in which I grew up - and which really was a progressive place - has become so endangered by this extremism. theguardian.com/world/2021/oct…

As Boris Johnson fabricates conflict, this is what French PM Jean Castex wrote to the European Commission:“It's necessary to show European public opinion that agreements have to be respected and are non negotiable, and that it's more detrimental to leave the union than to stay in it."

By highlighting the threat of failure ⁦Boris Johnson⁩ is breaking the habit of a lifetime by telling a truth. His licensing of North Sea oil exploration and possible expansion of UK coal mining, make the failure his own. He has failed to lead. theguardian.com/environment/20…

What the shameful, integrity-free ⁦David Frost⁩ is really saying is: “Please remember we are the ⁦ksi⁩ - and if you expect us to keep our word and adhere to what we have signed-up to, we will launch a campaign of lies against you.” theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
