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.

All credit to Mark Carney for standing up to Trump. Canadians should be proud - their PM is a role model for all world leaders. Other nations should take note in their dealings with the US.
The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.

Is Jon Ossoff the candidate Democrats have been waiting for?
The senator for Georgia has denied an ambition for the White House, but he is gaining popularity and a 2028 nomination is likely if the midterms go well

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift.
The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics.
*If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.
