  #Canada and the #EU could come together as Associate Membership discussed. Such discussions are excellent news. They offer a new and developing light in an increasingly dark world. #Trump will use the usual hate filled hyperbole to condemn this move, but 'he would wouldn't he'. Trump's wild narcissism, limited understanding, loathing for anything he can't understand only makes one realize how sensible this move is. It also shows what a terrible mistake #Br...

  #Stanley v Newport tomorrow. We conceded sloppy goals last week, got to tighten that up. We are scoring goals, we just need to block opposition attacks. Tomorrow is a chance to get out of the relegation zone. C'mon #Accringtonstanley.

  https://shorturl.at/8AQFB It’s been revealed that Tory leader Kemi #Badenoch charged taxpayers nearly £3,000 worth of electricity bills for her second home, just months after the last Tory government ended assistance for struggling households. It is not the first time that Badenoch’s expense claims have hit the headlines. It was revealed last year that Badenoch asked officials to pay for a holiday flight with taxpayers’ money to the US while in government but was rebuffed by her former departm...

  In 2023 the government handed a £330m NHS data contract to Palantir – a spy-tech firm with links to war crimes in Gaza, mass deportations in the US and a founder who thinks the NHS makes people sick. Palantir has provided technology to the Israeli military, supported Trump's immigration and custom enforcment, expanded private corporate control over public services. Plus the founder does not support our NHS. https://goodlawproject.org/campaign/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/

  #Brexit let's have some figures, based on The Economic Impact of Brexit NBER Working Paper No. 34459. By the end of 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, a total disaster which, if the Brexiters had any shame at all should make them retire from public life immediately and retire to somewhere where they could never reek such damage again. Non-tariff barriers and customs checks reduced goods trade with the EU by 10% to 15%. Business investment fell by 12% to 18% below...

  WOW! #Stanley on FIRE. Stanley 3 Gillingham 1. Two goals from Woods and one from Mols sank Gillingham. Stanley started like a hurricane, shots into the box and corners raining in. Great stuff. C'mon #AccringtonStanley

  #Nationalism is, by definition, a divisive creed, dividing one individual from another, one group from another, instilling hostility. Listen to what #Einstein, a man who'd experienced nationalism, said. nationalism is "an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind". #RejoinEU Better together.

  The costs of #Brexit The fall in sterling is estimated to have increased consumer prices by around 3 per cent, costing the average UK household £870 per year. Did you know Brexit has cost the UK up to £240bn so far, yes £240 Billion!!!!! Sources Bloomberg (November 2025) London School of Economics (June 2026) #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine #ClimateCrisis

  https://bestforbritain.org/faq-why-is-eu-membership-the-most-popular-uk-eu-relations-policy-in-628-seats/ All polls suggest that the UK is ready to #RejoinEU.

  https://shorturl.at/OB1Kr “Brexit has been a political and economic failure with lasting negative consequences for people in the United Kingdom and across Europe. “The European Green family is clear: the United Kingdom’s future lies in the European Union. We stand ready to welcome the UK back alongside other countries when it chooses this path.” European Greens prepare the way #RejoinEU. All analysis shows the economic damage that #Brexit has done. And of course nationalism is a nasty and divis...

  https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-starmer-trump-iran-ukraine-37108767 The majorty of UK citizens want UK to rejoin the EU. Nearly three in five respondents (59%) said they would back re-joining the European Union in a new Brexit referendum, according to the survey for the Mirror by Deltapoll. No wonder. Key impacts include a 12–18% drop in business investment, increased trade barriers (costing £140bn), and reduced trade openness, resulting in a estimated income loss of approximately...

  #Farage promises much but delivers virtually nothing. During his tenure as an MEP he attending only 63.1% of plenary meetings. This was the worst record in the EU, frankly a dereliction of duty for those who voted for him. His record is just as bad in the UK Parliament. Hope not Hate states that Farage has spoken less than any other Party leader. The same picture emerges when we consider voting record. In September, Farage announced that he wouldn’t be holding face-to-face surgeries in his Clac...

  Last year, Thailand-based crypto businessman, Christopher Harborne, donated £12 million to Reform. Hong Kong-based British crypto investor Ben Delo has donated £4 million earlier this year. The government placed a £100,000 cap on donations to political parties by Brits living abroad last month. Spotlight on Corruption and Unlock Democracy are asking the question whether the cap should apply to all donations. I think it probably should? #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine #ClimateCrisis

  The unreliability, incompetence, hubris, narcissism & total lack of empathy from #Trump throws up many questions. One is how much the UK nuclear deterrent depends on a US led by a charlatan? At present the UK builds its warheads and has operational control, but the US supplies the Trident missiles. #LibDems propose the UK build its own delivery systems to avoid Trump or any future Trump look alike whose policy decisions depend more on whether his breakfast egg is hard boiled enough.

  The cost of #Brexit is still to be determined, presumably when the UK is on its knees. We can get some idea however, analysis suggests the UK suffers an output loss of £100 billion per year, every year that this disaster continues. It doesn't take a genius to work out that with losses on that scale the UK economy is on a slide to nowhere. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis #StandwithUkraine Say no to nationalism and xenophobia, these creeds divide one human being from another.

  Listening to Kemi #Badenoch ramble on about the UK standing back from Trump's crazy narcissistic world suggests she isn't listening to the UK people. Polls say the 49% oppose #Trump's crazy world! A former NATO senior commander calls Trump & his accolytes 'gung ho nutters' who have 'no idea how this stupidity will end'. Predictably #Farage, a gung ho nutter if I ever saw one, is prepared to follow Trump into a dystopian world of darkness & misery for millions,...

  #Stanley v Cambridge tomorrow. We've lost 3 in a row, although we've had a long injury list and last weeks match saw a Stanley sending off. We've usually been pretty good on discipline, this lets both players and supporters down. We can start to win again, tomorrow would be a good time. C'mon #AccringtonStanley.

  As Senator Bernie Sanders pointed out, even within the law of the US, this war on Iran is “illegal, premeditated and unconstitutional”. This hastens the need for a body with integrity to stand up to Trump's narcissistic bullying & irrational behaviour. That body must be the EU, hopefully with the UK back on board, and with the likes of Canada and others a part of a wider block whose sole purpose is to give voice to the millions of oppressed people in the world. https://shorturl.at/sCSJC...

  So #Reform want to cut the price of a pint by 5p. Laudable, you might think, but wait til you hear how they'll pay for this. They plan to fully fund this promise by reinstating the two-child benefit cap. This gives an insight into the minds of Farage's heartless Party, & the lengths they will go to if they think there's a few votes in it. This heartless policy would be paid for by returning 450K children to poverty. Reform have already demonstrated their heartles...
