With each passing day, the utter absurdity of raising barriers between us and our biggest market becomes ever clearer. I block fakes.

Trump is now happening so the answer to this problem lies in rebuilding trade with Europe - research shows brexit accounts about a £23 billion quarterly hit to UK exports. Join us in @labour4europe fighting to address this and for our future prosperity labourmovementforeurope.uk/join

@HeleneBismarck Wetting myself laughing at this appointment!
As a defence minister Mark Francois will, presumably, have to stand next to some actual soldiers, for photos and whatnot.
I can't guarantee I won't laugh then, either.

@Lookinupatstars Exactly like Farage did on referendum day.
The idea is to make waverers think they don't need to vote Dem now as it's a forgone conclusion.
It's the same playbook. Let's hope the Americans are rather more awake to it than we were.

@harris_wins This was exactly the way the Brexiters played it after the EU referendum. The goal was to soften the for the 'Remain' position.
'Leave' won by 52% to 48%.
Don't be fooled. Vote.

BREAKING: Stunning reporting from CNN reveals sources within the Trump campaign believe the bottom has fallen out from underneath Donald Trump. There is a sense of panic within the Trump campaign. This is huge. x.com/DevonHesano/st…

@RobWilliams100 We often talk about how cruel and inhumane radical right governments are.
What we don't discuss so much, is just how breathtakingly stupid, reckless and and incompetent they are.

It's not been reported much in the UK, but the right wing government in the #Valencia region abolished the Valencia Emergency Unit (UVE) agency last year. Cutting emergency preparedness costs lives bbc.com/news/articles/…

@SethAbramson There would not be enough money in the world to rebuild brand America if it RE-ELECTS Donald Trump.
Fool me once, etc.

The Sunday night before a Tuesday election, this is the closing argument of one of the candidates.
The utter *madness* required to vote for this person.
The world is watching. It can’t understand why Trump is even within 20% of Harris. I get such comments on my feeds daily now.

@jzellis Frustrating that people can't / won't join the dots on these weather events. France just had its 4th once-in-100yrs flood in less than 10 months. Those 'unprecedented' Cat-5-in-a-matter-of-hours cyclones have been happening regularly since Katrina, 20yrs ago. We've been warned.

Hey, look at that, another historic flood right after the last dozen around the world that correspond with increasing global temperatures, what are the odds

Exciting news! 🎉
The #EUCitizensGathering is happening on 12 Nov!
The event is a space for EU citizens, organisations and policy makers to collaborate on strengthening the 🇪🇺 EU - 🇬🇧 UK relationship.
Have a look at the highlights from last year’s event:

@stellacreasy @JolyonMaugham Agree.
We also need broadcasters to stop platforming absolute dinosaurs like Christopher Chope. He is just a reactionary gob on a stick and does not understand the modern world.
English
This is why we urgently need paternity leave sorted. Because until people start wondering if dads get distracted by their kids as much as they do mums, we will always have dinosaurs walk amongst us …or in this case on the modernisation committee in parliament …🫨

NEW: Conservative MP Sir Christopher Chope says Kemi Badenoch is “preoccupied with her children” and “you can't spend all your time with your family at the same time as being leader of the opposition”. He was speaking on this month's @itvmeridian The Last Word. @itvnewspolitics

Who cares Sam? Do we really think Yvette Cooper is in any way corrupt? We are such a small minded country in these ways…. As a journalist I took far bigger freebies so do most people in the media….all the time….
Sam Coates Sky@SamCoatesSky
Sky News can reveal Home Secretary Yvette Cooper went for free to a Taylor Swift concert as guest of Swift’s music label Universal Music. Ms Cooper went as a guest of her huband, Ed Balls who was given four tickets. That came after the home secretary had discussions about boosting protection for Ms Swift when she was in London after concerts were cancelled in Vienna because of a foiled attack Mr Balls was offered the tickets on August 4, before the Swift's shows in Vienna were cancelled for a show on August 16 This has not appeared in the public register to date because the tickets were understood to be worth £170 - less than the £300 that would make it a declarable expense. Earlier today the home secretary made the declaration to the cabinet office.

The Brexit border tax hasn’t just hit food imports and pushed up prices - it also means British farmers face problems getting seeds and with checks being patchy it does little to maintain our food security. Join us in @labour4europe campaigning to end this madness!

@Bkasparas @vanmaneuro It's like the lorry queues all over again! Remember the M20 cameras were turned off?
We are a state still in denial; all in vain. One day the irresistible force of school holiday traffic will run into the immovable object that is ETIAS.
And there'll be no hiding THAT
sh!tshow.

@nevster73 @vanmaneuro At least @vanmaneuro got some pix - Kent cops told me to get back in my car when I wanted to take some photos of the non-activity at 0550 on Sunday morning....🤷♂️

@vanmaneuro It has to be this way, Ciaran.
I posted earlier that the more ridiculous we are made to look and feel, the sooner it will change. This, sadly, is an inevitable part of the process.
We must be humiliated out of our Brexit daze.
English
@Bkasparas @vanmaneuro Exactly this.
We're still going to travel to the mainland if we have to sit there for days. Children will be taken out of school, and fines paid, to avoid the worst of it, but we'll all still go.
Sad truth: the more ridiculous we feel, the sooner it will change.
English
@vanmaneuro Nah. No way.
