Brexit Bin 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪🕊🇺🇦 #BrexitHasFailed

Please listen to this exceptional segment from a speech by J.B. Pritzker. It explains everything that's happening now in #MAGAmerica.

@implausibleblog @BonaparteFabri1 SPOILER ALERT: The EU's Single Market for Energy (Energy Union) is a great example of how a network of renewables functions. Because even if the wind isn't blowing on one part of the continent, it's blowing and producing a surplus somewhere else.

Watch the Reform UK's James Orr humiliate himself on #BBCQT James Orr, "When the wind doesn't blow, you need gas to back it up and sometimes the wind doesn't blow" Fiona Bruce asks how drilling helps us is oil and gas are traded on the international market James Orr, "Prices are fixed internationally but a portion of them is connected to" Caroline Lucas, "It really isn't. It's sold on international markets to the highest bidder" James Orr, "That's not true.. Bills are higher because of unreliable renewables" Caroline Lucas, "They are not unreliable. All we need are interconnectors so when its not windy in this country you import the wind power from somewhere else" "I just despair at the kind of lies James, you are telling to people" James Orr, "These are not lies" Caroline Lucas, "They are"

@implausibleblog @BudgeGavin She's so out of her depth it's frightening. The Conservatives may have a legacy vote that'll save them for a few years, but they're dead as a political force for the future.

Kemi Badenoch's surreal car crash interview on #C4News Gary Gibbon, "You said you want the RAF to be allowed to launch missiles against Iranian targets" Kemi Badenoch, "If they are striking British bases, yes" Gary Gibbon, "You want them more involved?" Kemi Badenoch, "It's not an escalation it's a defensive position" Gary Gibbon, "I think that's joining in a war, not a war we were consulted on" Kemi Badenoch, "This is true" Gary Gibbon, "This is not a war that has been thought through" Kemi Badenoch, "I agree with that" Gary Gibbon, "Do you agree that it is an illegal war?" Kemi Badenoch, "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "Will you answer if it's legal?" Kemi Badenoch, "I've already answered multiple questions on whether it is legal or not" "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "So whatever Donald Trump starts, we join in?" Kemi Badenoch, "Let's be clear, Iran is an enemy of this country" "Prime Minister Keir Starmer maybe thinks he can sit on the fence and hope it can go away, that's not happening" "You talk about inflation, oil shocks, these things happen" Gary Gibbon, "They happen because of this war"

@kaitlancollins When is America going to get tired of idiots?

Asked about the $200 billion figure the Pentagon is seeking for the Iran war, GOP Rep. Scott Perry says he wants Iran to pay for the war... "Well, I think we have got to pay for this somehow, right? We don't have endless money."

Sadiq Khan's 5 Step Plan to Rejoin the EU 🇬🇧🇪🇺 1️⃣ Reset relationship [DONE] 2️⃣ Realign with EU laws [DONE] 3️⃣+4️⃣ Rejoin EU Customs Union and Single Market this parliament 5️⃣ Stand at the next general election on a manifesto to rejoin the EU – (then no new ref needed after a win)

ps. It's nice to see here that the interviewer knows what he's talking about with the customs union issue. He gets Khan to explicitly state he wants to rejoin THE EU Customs Union, and not "a" customs union – as some have called for who don't want to mention Freedom of Movement.

@PeterStefanovi2 @Sarahtopcat @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan @Keir_Starmer Well said, Sadiq! .... Though he has more in common with the Greens now than with Starmer.

Wow. @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan asks @Keir_Starmer to not only “rejoin the EU Customs Union and the Single Market this Parliament”, but also to “fight the next general election with a clear manifesto commitment: a vote for Labour means we would rejoin the European Union”, without a second #Brexit referendum 👏

Zack Polanski, "Brexit has been a disaster for this country, socially, economically and culturally" "And the fact that Nigel Farage, the principle person behind Brexit has the chutzpah to return to the national stage and say that things are a disaster, often turbocharged by Brexit, and he's the person who's going to fix this? It's an outrageous claim" "And yes, I do want to see us rejoin the European Union" "We're much better building our relations with our European neighbours, including rejoining the Customs Union" "But yes, one day I want to see us rejoin the EU"

@TheGreenParty @janwaspi These are good and well presented aims – because they're not "programmatic" aims like the legacy left was obsessed with. How we achieve those aims, what new legislation we introduce for it can be pragmatic and flexible. This is a major step forward for the progressive movement 🌻

Our priorities are clear: Make life more affordable. Protect the majority over the wealthy elite. Protect our planet for generations to come.

Pedro Sánchez on The Rest Is Politics podcast: “I would definitely like to have the UK back on board in the EU. I think societies can make mistakes, but they can also correct those mistakes.” I'm loving these signals. The hope for a future together is still alive 🇪🇺🇬🇧

It's official! ... The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot just invited Britain back into the Single Market. He said we'd be met with "open arms". #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The new progressives coming through today are very different from the old left. They're not still fighting the ideological battles of the 1980s. These new progressives see the world as it is today – with all its unprecedented problems – and are fighting for real tangible change.

@Mattsnowflake2 @LondonLabour @ZackPolanski WTF Labour! As if joining the Greens years ago was a career move! They only had one MP! 😅 ... It rather seems to point to him being a loyal LibDem activist until he could take no more. Like millions of others, he's seen that trickle-down has failed and the system needs a reset.

@LondonLabour @ZackPolanski Why did you delete this guys? Afraid your hypocrisy would be pointed out to you? And getting obsessive aren’t we? Anyone would think you’re worried about something..,

'I'm proud of the coalition's record' @ZackPolanski

@LondonLabour @jensen1966 @ZackPolanski Surely when a young activist realises he's on a false path, and that the promises of his party no longer align with his own beliefs, then moving on to new horizons is a sensible and honest thing to do. It's a shame Labour hasn't gone through a similar learning curve with Brexit.

@ObserverUK @Steve__Connelly It's time for Starmer and Reeves to accept reality. Their so-called "reset" doesn't go nearly far enough. All they're aiming for is a "single market only for goods." But the Brits want far more, and the EU will not accept such blatant cherry-picking. Labour's red lines must go!

The Observer view: the chancellor’s big idea Rachel Reeves’s Mais lecture offered a coherent and invigorating plan for the UK economy. It, finally, set out a commitment to align with Europe and, after an even longer wait, devolve tax-raising powers to mayors and local governments. It might actually work bit.ly/41dVeUw

@RhonddaBryant @SandraDunn1955 So Freedom of Movement for flowers but not for people or workers.

When 80% of UK flowers come from or through the Netherlands it’s clear this is a trading relationship in full bloom 🌷 £110bn in two‑way trade and the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement will make it even smoother. And future British Mother’s Day bouquets will be bigger!

@factpostnews SPOILER ALERT: Trump and MAGA have robbed, raped and killed the American Dream for everyone but the Epstein Class.

Vance: It's going to take longer to rebuild the American dream

@darowski2 He's talking about the Single Market not the full EU. There's a difference.

Pro-EU, but.. The French will see this as an opportunity for a punishment beating. There will also be pressure to join the euro - a calamity in waiting. We should never have left. We could never reproduce our previous favourable terms.
