If you, like me, think rejoining the EU would be a good idea, why not sign up for the Rejoin Register?

The UK imports over half its diesel, much of it from America, where Russian diesel is now entering the system.
@EarlRussellLD, Energy and Net Zero spokesperson, pressed the minister for assurances that US diesel is not Russian and for more European refining.

Ed Davey told the Commons in July what Reform activists were saying on doorsteps.
Tonight, we saw ITV went undercover and got Reform councillors and candidates on tape.

Great work by @HardcashProd and @ITV on the racism rife in @reformparty_uk.
If you wonder where it originates from, look at the chapter titles of my book The Real Nigel Farage.
Chapter One: SSSSSSSS!
Chapter Two: Gas ‘Em All
Chapter Four: The Nig-Nogs Will Never Vote for Us
The racism comes from the leader.
@Nigel_Farage denies any wrongdoing.

‘I’m not racist but’ - from some of Reform’s (former) finest…
“[Muslims] are parasites”
“Drag [Muslims] out their homes, stick them on planes…”
“They’re all ******* black. They’re like ******* animals.”
How to thwart mosques? “We’ll bury [pork chops] in the ground…”
On women: “if she was my daughter, it would still be a bath time on a Thursday…I’ll wash you properly this time”
This video is full of sickening racists, sexists, islamophobes and perverts who are completely unfit for public office.
It’s just more of the same from @reformparty_uk
Warning: Distressing and graphic language
An undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has found multiple elected councillors and party candidates expressing racist views and using offensive language.
ITV has obtained secretly recorded footage showing Reform officials from across England and Wales using violent, racist and sexist language.
Councillors Alan Feeney, Chris Whelan and Jamie Campbell did not reply to our request for comment. Councillors Feeney and Whelan have since resigned from Reform UK.
In a statement shared with ITV News, Reform UK said: "Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced. In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed."
"Reform UK has improved and prioritised its vetting procedures, but from time to time, a handful of individuals who do not share our values will initially make it through vetting. This is the same for all organisations."

I spoke to Sky News about the Lib Dems' serious plan to grow the economy and cut people's taxes.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives continue to chase Reform - kicking out members for supporting environmental protection and human rights.
The contrast couldn't be clearer.

Supporting Ukraine is still money. It is one beer less for one European a year. We can afford that.
If we drink less, their lives are saved. Simple as that.

It's unspeakable that the City Regulator has failed to pick up Climate Emergency impacts on insurer pricing as described here.
@10DowningStreet must immediately call it in. Without insurance lenders can't lend and assets strand.

Having worked with the insurance and banking sectors for many years, this comes as absolutely no surprise whatsoever
Only a matter of time before the continuing explosion of extreme weather begins to take down major insurance companies

This is chilling. I feel for anyone watching this tonight who is frightened to see such racism and hatred festering in their community.
It's the very worst of what we’re seeing in Trump’s America. We can’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Goldman Sachs estimates that EU membership could boost the UK economy by 6% over the long term. Better access to our largest trading partner would give British businesses more opportunities to grow.
As the conversation about Britain’s European future opens up, the economic opportunities deserve to be at its heart.

This is not a grand statement, as I'm not a fan of when non-Ministers/MPs do those, but just to say that tomorrow I'll be resigning from @NHSEngland's LGBT+ Sounding Board over the NHS's announcement that all trans staff and patients must use facilities of their biological birth.
