“We’re broken economically” says Nigel Farage whose Brexit is calculated by Bloomberg to be costing the UK £100bn a year in lost output

Yay, just voted in #generalelection to STOP the #brexit enabler Greg Hands and here’s hoping he and his ilk get wiped out on July 4

Sadly, I already regret lending my vote to #Labour after #Starmer ‘s latest pro #brexit statement. #GeneralElection24

#Reigate polling places 1. St Paul's, Nork 2. Nork Community Centre 3. St Mark's, Tattenham Corner 4. Tadworth Leisure Centre #GeneralElection24

Whatever #Starmer ‘s moral probity, there is little evidence of any feel for history or world affairs. With France weakening & US trending # Trump there is a massive need for UK to step up. I don’t see it from this guy, yet.

Labour’s vote share barely changed between 2019 and 2024 (32.1% : 33.9%) This was very much an anti Tory election,not a pro- Labour one…

Why the f*ck did #Starmer, election clearly won, say both that he could never see UK rejoining #EU in his lifetime and that he celebrates the Sun’s endorsement- why, why, why? Are you pissing on progressive pro Europeans? WTF! @Femi_Sorry Madeleina Kay 🫐🌺💫 Tom Baldwin

Sen. Josh Josh Hawley: "Some will say now that I am calling America a Christian Nation. So I am. And some will say that I am advocating Christian Nationalism. And so I do."

So debased has British govt become that the new govt appears to be radical in promising to rule competently, honestly and to spur economic growth. Isn’t that the bare minima any elector should automatically expect ffs?

With Jonathan Ashworth named as the new boss of Labour Together, it's worth revisiting this piece by Solomon Hughes on the shadowy 'think tank' raising millions from exploitative businessmen and shaping party policy in favour of its mega-rich donors. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/06/behind…

Where could the shooter have possibly gotten the idea that guns solve problems?

Reminder of what life was like under Donald Trump: - Murders rose 30% -- one of the largest increases in recorded history - Cuts to law enforcement were proposed every year - $8.4 trillion was added to national debt - Real GDP declined its largest drop since 1947 - Trade

Fascinating from Dan Miller on why one submits to subordination in high control situations. A complement is the work of Philip Petit on freedom/ non domination. podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/str…

As it’s the final round of #TheOpen in Royal Troon, Scotland today, here’s the incomparable Robin Williams discussing how golf was invented in Scotland. Genius. ⛳️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

With Joe Biden dropping out of the race and endorsing Kamala Harris, it's a good time to revisit heater's look at how the right (and Trump) can't figure out how to attack her. And now, they're trying to play catchup.

My Aunt lives in Southport and I was with her on Monday celebrating her 80th birthday when we heard the news of the attack. That the community’s grief and shock should be compounded by these far right thugs is disgusting. #Southport
