Liz Webster 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

🙌 👏 OMG 👀 Lord Spencer Livermore - Treasury Minister - first serving minister to publicly face Brexit reality! “Should we in due course re-enter the EU? My personal view is that that is an inevitability. Of course the UK will re-enter the EU bc it is absolutely in our national economic interest.”

🔴 WATCH: Neil Kinnock on his fiery row with Rupert Murdoch: “I said, ‘What a coincidence that was.’ He said, ‘Why is it a coincidence?’ I said, ‘Because you’re the biggest menace to liberty on this bit of the planet today.’” Classic Kinnock, straight talk about freedom, power, and press barons. 👇

🔴 Neil Kinnock on rejoin EU: “I don’t think either of them yet understand what a gigantic task of negotiation it’s going to be… There are now no open arms in the EU.” Kinnock warns they won’t risk another Farage-style government wanting out again, so it’ll be a real “enervating slog”. 1/2👇

🚨 Neil Kinnock: “If my headteacher had encountered anybody in our school entertaining anything remotely like Farage… he would’ve lined up all the war veterans on the staff and told them to tell the truth to the kid.” Preview Sunday Roast interview 👇

👀 WATCH Reform voters waking up to Reform policies, brilliant 🤩 Privatising NHS… Oh Jesus no. Reducing min wage… It’s not worth working as it is. Conclusion: “They’re trying to reform like a Dickensian authority where we are living in smog and no one has any rights unless you’re rich or white.”

🚨 Richard Bacon on Newsnight. “If the project is to keep Reform out… they take 5m in cryptocurrency, say Nigerians should be melted down into potholes… if you replace Keir Starmer with @andyburnham.bsky.social would they beat Reform? Yeah, bc the project’s so important, it’s worth it.”

We need Nigel Farage: “Who Wants To Rejoin the EU?” Struggling on Brexit question, he uses final lifeline to call crypto billionaire donor “Should I pivot to Rejoin now or keep larping as last sovereign man standing?” Crypto bro: “Mate, just launch FarageCoin and make it someone else’s problem.”

🚨 SNL UK absolutely nailed it. Watch brutal “Who Wants To Remain A Millionaire?” 2 clip 🧵 As 🇬🇧 media churns out endless hand-wringing pieces asking “Can Starmer survive Mandelsongate?”, SNL UK just drove the truth home in one brutal sketch. Clueless PM: 👺 Mandelson pulling the strings.

🇺🇸 v 🇪🇺 food Listen to what this American says about what a US trade deal really means for our food and health. While talking about “reset” with Europe… Starmer’s government is opening the door to US 🇺🇸 standards. That’s how they’re trying to make Brexit work.

🔥 Brexit in vox pop from Merthyr Tydfil 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 “This place used to have tons of funding now everything has fallen apart. I don’t feel I can stay.” You’re going to move? “Yeah, back to Dublin… there’s just more opportunity. There really isn’t anything here.” 🇮🇪 worker leaving 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for booming Dublin 1/2

I’ve been warning for a decade: Brexit would wreck our food resilience. Experts like Tim Lang and Prof Chris Elliott said the same - all ignored. Now Trump’s actions in Iran mean every farmer can see what’s coming. The govt is totally unprepared, out of touch, and cloth-eared and it is scary.

💭 Remember Farage in 2018? “Join the Brexit club …you’ll love it.” 2026 reality check: Hungary 🇭🇺 voted Viktor Orbán out and chosen to stay firmly in the EU. They looked at Brexit Britain: stagflation, energy shocks, exposure and said: no. Hungary dodged the trap Britain is still stuck in!

Stories Don’t Match 🇬🇧 UK: “We are making good progress on practical deals that help British farmers and businesses.” 🇪🇺 EU: “The UK wants the benefits of alignment without the full obligations and we will not allow uncontrolled cherry-picking.”

🔥 Farage roasted by 🇺🇸 Rep Jamie Raskin “How he shows his face in public after Brexit debacle is beyond …Isn’t that considered a disaster in history? I cannot imagine a society that produced some of greatest writers, poets and musicians… falling for a free speech imposter and charlatan like that.”

🚨 NEW: At Press Conference, Starmer says we need closer ties with Europe. Then refuses to drop Brexit red lines when asked You can’t remove barriers while keeping them in place. 🆘 BIN BREXIT RED LINES Starmer’s trapping Britain in unworkable red lines and broken FPTP #BinBrexitRedLines #BinFPTP

🔥 Reeves essentially says, “We can’t shield you from global shocks.” 👏BUT there is a lever which will reduce exposure 👉 Bin Brexit red lines NOW Brexit increased how hard global shocks hit the UK. We left the system that cushioned shocks and now households are paying the price. #BinBrexitRedLines

🔴 Stella Creasy nails it 👏 You can’t say our energy system has left us vulnerable… and then oppose the only things that actually make us independent. Oil and gas tie us to global markets. Renewables break that link. It really is that simple.

👏 Business Sec exposes Brexit conundrum! The SPS “reset” is theatre, a lullaby to placate the majority. ❎ You cannot align with EU food standards 👉while opening the door to US trade demands. Something has to give and it won’t be USA 🧵 1/3

🚨 🔥 Remarkable exchange When Farmers Weekly asked about misogyny in farming, Nigel Farage replies: “Does it?” Then he says scrapping Equality Act 2010 is needed bc it makes white working-class men “inferior citizens”. Female farmers raise concerns about workplace protections. His response? 🧵

🚨 Asked about council tax promises, Nigel Farage just shouts: “Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!” Then threatens to end the interview with Beth Rigby. The man who sold Britain “the easiest deal in history” still struggles with basic questions about the consequences.

🔥 Vic Derbyshire on #Newsnight: Oil prices rising, inflation risks growing and then a clip of Trump saying three completely different things about the war within minutes. Markets hate uncertainty. Businesses are households end up paying the price. #IranWar

🆘 Expert Trita Parsi, senior analyst on US-Iran diplomacy, says a stronger deal than even the Obama-era agreement was within reach before the conflict escalated and could have been a diplomatic win for Trump if pursued. Trump could have taken the win. He chose escalation. #IranWar

🚨 Kevin Maguire on GMB is right to raise Libya. We removed Gaddafi, a brutal dictator, but unleashed chaos, a failed state, refugee flows across the Med, and terror blowback including Manchester. Regime change sounds simple. The aftermath never is. #IranWar #Iran

✅ Kevin Maguire is right. 🔥 If you argue that America is intervening in #Iran to uphold human rights and oppose brutality abroad, you need to reckon with how its own agencies behave at home. Kevin points out that a President who has expanded ICE enforcement, presided over deadly

🔥 Trump’s military gamble in Iran is backfiring, Iran is now firing on U.S. bases across Middle East. When great-power force replaces diplomacy, the risk of escalation becomes real. This raises profound questions about our strategic alignments, defence priorities, and the limits of military power.

Smart question from Matt Chlorley: is Reform topping out? Luke Tryl says they’ve certainly hit a plateau in polls and face headwinds. Brits may want change but not MAGA-style politics. If Reform has a ceiling, why is Labour still chasing it? #Newsnight

🆘 A governing party–aligned think tank paying US PR firm to dig into journalists reporting on its funding is deeply troubling. If politics investigating reporters instead of answering questions - problematic “Don’t worry we’re investigating it” is laughable as networks are so closely intertwined.

⏰ This is what US 🇺🇸 interference in Europe looks like: 👿 Orbán says Hungary’s main threat is not Russia 🇷🇺 but the EU. And fresh from Munich, Marco Rubio heads to Budapest. Hungary 🇭🇺 votes in April. If you want to understand the pressure being applied inside Europe right now, essential viewing👇

“This is the end for Peter Mandelson.” A friend of 50 years delivers the verdict on #Mandelson Mandelson admits Epstein loaned his husband $10,000 while he was a senior cabinet minister, and that Epstein lobbied him on policy. 🧵 👇 #TrevorPhilips #EpsteinFiles #Epstein

Fantastic #BrexitDay thoughts from Ulf in Germany 🇩🇪 on @lbc.co.uk “Let’s put this way: All countries have an upper class, but the British upper class has a country.” “You take your time to learn a lesson. I mean, Nigel Farage might be your next next Prime Minister …. 🧵 👇

🇨🇦 WATCH 👀 “Now Canada can’t solve all the world’s problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn’t destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and exclusion - it can still bend towards progress and justice.” 👉Mark Carney 👏 1/2

🔥 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the US. 🇺🇸 response: “I’ve met some who disagree. We lead from strength.” That’s not democracy or alliance. Its power deciding consent is optional. This is Brexit argument exported. Power over consent. Anecdote over evidence. Democracy when it agrees with you.

A superpower led by a man delivering incoherent childhood anecdotes instead of policy and global markets are expected to take it seriously. This is what institutional collapse looks like.

🆘 “This is the pure hell of Brexit for food exporters.” Toby Ovens of Broughton Transport told MPs at the business & trade committee that Brexit has been a costly and logistic nightmare: Vets chasing lorries. Meat stuck in Calais for a month. £16,000 burned because of a stamp in the wrong place.

👀 JFK explains why America is sicker, poorer, weaker than Europe - despite spending more than anyone. 🇪🇺 Europe regulates food to protect health 🇺🇸 deregulates food and pays price Starmer & Farage push Britain 🇬🇧 to copy America 👉 chlorinated chicken AND privatise NHS. Only corporations benefit.

This is dark Pope Leo XIV warns the post-WWII rule that bans invading other countries is being destroyed. While Keir Starmer stays silent and sucks up to Trump, even the Vatican is saying it out loud: might is replacing law and that puts everyone at risk. ⚠️

Farage isn’t promising to fix Britain. He’s promising to stop it being fixed by fighting to keep Brexit. Brexit now survives as grievance management, not economic strategy. Farage lit the Brexit fire. Now he needs it to keep burning. Arsonists don’t rebuild.

‼️🚨Sophie Ridge: “You’ve secured trading terms with the US that are worse than they were before Brexit.” Wes Streeting: “I don’t dispute that.” 🔥 And there it is 🔥 Brexit made Britain weak and that’s why it will continue to make us poorer until with rejoin the EU.
