Andy Burnham finally telling it how it is on Brexit is a welcome dose of truth. Admitting leaving the EU ruined our global standing, wrecked the economy, and left us with zero control is long overdue. Why did it take political leaders ten years to state the obvious? (1/2) 🤔 #FBPE

No Scrubs? Don’t be silly!
I’ve seen 64 of the NYT’s best 100 TV shows of the 21st century.
And don’t really disagree with the inclusion of any of those. That’s a good hit rate.

This is nothing new. It's what helped to bring about Brexit. So surely Burnham's remarks about online Russian disinformation now should cast such a shadow over Brexit that we rejoin at least the Single Market before the next election!

And of course this iconic vox pop
In May 2019, a reporter from the far-right Canadian sewer Rebel News / The Rebel tried to interview people on the streets of Manchester about Stephen Yaxley-Lennon / Tommy Robinson who was standing as an MEP, and encountered the (NSFW but very honest) Queen of the North.

👀 "Britain’s most famous populist is becoming increasingly unpopular with the very public he claims to speak for."
Farage is now as unpopular as Starmer was before he resigned, and Reform has a £72m problem
There’s a 52-point gap between Burnham and Farage.

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’.
Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of.
But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists.
If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

Passport to Piddington
Last week an Oxfordshire village declared independence from the United Kingdom - ostensibly in protest at a local refugee centre. But is something darker going on?

Caroline Lucas says Labour won't rule our new oil and gas, and aren't announcing that till after the by-election in Holborn & St Pancras, because they think announcing it will help Zack Polanski win the seat
