This is outrageous @wesstreeting
We left the EU based on an Advisory Referendum - the electorate were misled to believe in ‘sunlit uplands’ in BrexitLand
Growth is capped as a consequence
How can one vote in 2016 - be allowed to determine the economic prospects into the future

Absolutely gorgeous video of 10-year old Max with Joe & Loanna, the parents of Keira, the little girl whose transplanted heart saved his life 🫀🩷

A thread from June, but still relevant, unfortunately, in a(nother) week of almost no sales.

You're wrong about youth mobility @YvetteCooperMP and you know you are. I know you're towing the party line but......young people have suffered because of Brexit. We all have but @UKLabour could at least help them

The best way for the UK to avoid "hard times" is to undo unnecessary Tory Brexit choices & make deals with Europe 🇪🇺 that grow all of our economies!

An exceptional summary by Dr. Hilary Cass about the Cass Review, the three key dilemmas it found, and why it is critical to move away from the "gender clinic" model care, which inappropriately treats every gender distressed teen as "transgender."

5/ The bottom line is that AA #Taper (& child care issue) are dreadfully designed taxes with inbuilt #cliffedges that are potent drivers to prevent some doctors being willing or able to take on work (or need to reduce current work).

I shall never ‘reconcile’ myself to #Brexit, however long I live.
It is a total, unmitigated tragedy for this country.
It is the product of decades of lies, misinformation, lack of fair reporting and citizen ignorance, in which the Right, the Left and the media have colluded

So many tears of rage and sorrow over the UK's shameful scenes.
At @ProgrammeRoots we're fighting for a more connected, compassionate and curious UK.
Never let them dream they are winning.
We are so many. They are so weak.
Pls watch & continue to resist hate.

I was thinking of watching Channel 4's election coverage, but it's got Nadine Dorries on it.

A lot of rightful anger at UK main political parties point blank refusing an EU "youth mobility scheme" ..
but nobody linking this to how cruel it'd be to give mutual access to falling in love with each other, only to deny them life together in UK unless the Brit can earn 39K pa.

Positive news, but why limit this to 18 - 30 year olds?
A return to real free movement for all, which was always conditional, would also open up the EU single market & end some of the Tory Brexit bureaucracy !

The frustrating thing to me about the quote from this article is that the columnist knows, and the Conservatives know, and Labour knows, that Brexit was an awful economic and geopolitical error. This was obvious in my view in 2016 and it’s ten times more obvious now, for the reasons outlined in the article. The issue is that none of the above have yet summoned up the courage to explain to the electorate that we really have no option but to rejoin the single market and customs union as soon as possible. Europe has to strengthen and work together in an increasingly uncertain world, and the U.K. is a vital part of Europe. Everyone in any sort of position of responsibility or power knows it. Basically our political class is bullshitting the electorate. And as I’ve said before, you can convince people to vote to abolish gravity but they will be very annoyed when they hit the ground.

Rishi’s dish washer advice:
“ I see the inside of a dishwasher the way I see society and load it accordingly. At the very top I carefully position the very best items. There they receive the cleanest water. The filth pours over the lower ranks below, but frankly who gives a damn”

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan".
I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support.
I do not support the "Rwanda plan".
If you don't either, please retweet.

We could get angry at Suella’s latest piece of performative, pandering cruelty or… instead:
let’s promote the excellent work done by @Shelter, @centrepointuk, @PassageCharity and other fine charities actually trying to help homeless people, especially now, as winter approaches.
