🚨 🇬🇧 LISTEN to Churchill’s grandson, Sir Nicholas Soames, in 2016 on why Churchill would have opposed Brexit:
“The last thing on earth Churchill would have been, would have been an isolationist, to want to stand apart from Europe right now at a difficult time.”
“There’s something awfully un-British about wanting to leave … No, he would not think it’s a good thing to leave. He would have wanted to stay.”
Standing apart from Europe weakens Britain and makes it harder to stand together against Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. Rebuilding our place in the European project strengthens our ability to defend peace and deter those who would dominate the continent.

Well done Yorkshire Post for featuring on its front page what London newspapers owned by tax avoidance exiles keep quiet about. Rejoining EU is a popular option.

Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."

Brexit has not been “reopened because of Andy Burnham”, but because:
- it’s turned out to be a costly mistake
- geopolitics shows we can’t rely on the US, but need to work with our neighbours with whom we share common interests
- the public has turned against it

🚨 This is HUGE.
The Times reports that Britain is already holding talks with the EU about a potential return to freedom of movement and other options for much closer alignment.
The options that will eventually be put to the British public are being discussed with Brussels now, to establish what both sides could agree.
“The conversation is happening.”
The 2024 red lines of no Single Market, no customs union, no freedom of movement only apply to this Parliament.
What comes next is now being worked through.
Burnham meets EU leaders on 20 November. He says he wants Britain to rejoin the EU in his lifetime. And tonight we learn officials are already discussing the possible routes with Brussels.
This is no longer a hypothetical debate about whether Britain might one day change course.
🎉 The process of deciding how far Britain moves back towards Europe has finally begun. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of Ukrainian children have been forced into Russia and this boot-licking spiv rolls out the tongue once more for “humanitarian” Putin. Infamy

I've just added my name to back Britain joining the EU by 2036 - or sooner!
It takes 30 seconds. Will you join me?

"Due to the ongoing measles outbreak, there is an increase in measles cases during pregnancy, along with rising concerns about congenital measles, which has been identified for the first time in decades."

Oh. My. Gosh.
RFK Jr. now claims the measles “outbreak” is occurring because so many people went unvaccinated during COVID, and cites Fauci as having predicted this.
This is possibly the most unbelievable thing he’s said thus far apart from Warpspeed.

The UK could re-enter the EU in a “Switzerland plus” package that could be negotiated within months of any decision to deepen ties with the bloc, the head of a European parliament committee has said

ASML aside, it is incomprehensible how Europe has allowed itself to become almost entirely absent from the industrial supply chain of Intelligence.
I made these remarks in Europe today, because the situation is dire:
1/ No energy sovereignty
2/ No operational commercial SMRs
3/ Grid connection queues stretching beyond 10 years
4/ Industrial base being gutted
5/ Negligible rare-earth refining capacity
6/ No leading-edge AI chip fabrication at scale
7/ No meaningful HBM fabrication
8/ No globally dominant AI accelerator chip IP
9/ No globally dominant semiconductor design software
10/ No meaningful frontier AI chip packaging capacity
11/ No globally dominant frontier AI models
12/ No globally dominant open-weight AI models
13/ No globally dominant frontier AI intellectual property
14/ No globally dominant AI companies
15/ No trillion-dollar technology companies
16/ No global hyperscalers
17/ No globally competitive neoclouds at US scale
18/ No serious frontier-scale AI compute
19 / No sovereign frontier AI training infrastructure at global scale
20/ No globally dominant AI inference platform
21/ No globally dominant AI developer ecosystem
22/ No globally dominant AI operating system
23/ No globally dominant AI-native enterprise software company
24/No globally dominant AI-native defence software platform
25/ No globally dominant AI robotics platform
26/ No globally dominant commercial space launch and satellite internet platform
27/ No capital mobilisation at the scale required to compete in the intelligence economy
This is the cumulative result of policy choices: on energy, investment, regulation, taxation …
The biggest risk to the West’s future prosperity and security is failing to build. Europe is the cautionary tale.

Sehr große gut gemachte Studie zeigt eindeutig, dass das Verbot von Handys im Klassenraum den Lernerfolg der Schüler stark verbessert. Sozial Benachteiligte profitieren am meisten. Jede erfolgreiche Schulpolitik muss damit anfangen. Kostet nichts und wirkt science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has endured what few leaders could imagine. Betrayal by friends, hesitation from allies, endless political games, and the daily destruction of his country. Yet he refuses to surrender.
War has changed him. His face carries years of exhaustion, sleepless nights, and the unbearable responsibility for millions of lives. He is not a Hollywood hero. He is a man who chose to stay when leaving would have been easier.
He never asked the world for sympathy. He asked for weapons to defend his people. While politicians debate and the world grows tired, he continues fighting for Ukraine's survival.
I have never admired a public figure as deeply as I admire this man. Not because he is flawless, but because he has shown extraordinary courage when it mattered most.
Presidents come and go. Ukrainians will decide their own future. But history will remember the man who stood with his nation when everything was at stake.
**Stay strong, President Zelenskyy. You have not abandoned Ukraine, and Ukraine has not surrendered.** 🇺🇦

Ukraine’s freedom is not President Trump’s to bargain away.
He is wrong to ease sanctions on Russian diesel, wrong to blame President Zelensky for prolonging Putin’s war, and wrong to undermine a nation fighting for its right to exist. Russia is the aggressor. Always has been. Reward Russia, and we should expect to see more aggression, including from other countries. We can also kiss goodbye to any just and lasting peace.
This is why Conservatives have stood with Ukraine against Putin. Ukraine’s future belongs to Ukrainians. They alone have the right to choose their president, and we stand with President Zelensky because he fights not for himself, but for the survival of his country and his people.
🔴 Trump backstabs Zelensky for five minutes of midterm relief

He's on the whitewashing circuit after Andy Burnham let the cat out of the bag.
👏👏@susannareid100 for giving @SDoughtyMP a deserved hard time👇 with the "Russia tried to interfere in Brexit but wasn't successful" line he's doing the rounds with today
Some usually great journalists on other media bizarrely just took an "oh ok then, that's sorted" approach

🚨 Britain could rejoin the EU within a single Parliament.
A new @BestForBritain report demolishes the claim that rejoining must take a decade.
The UK would not be starting from scratch. We are a former member, remain closely integrated with the European economy and have retained much of the EU’s regulatory framework. Finland completed accession in under three years.
Senior European figures agree that, with political alignment and sustained will in London and Brussels, British membership could be restored within five years.
Polling now shows:
🇬🇧 52% would vote to rejoin
🚫 Just 27% would vote to remain outside
🔄 More than one-fifth of 2016 Leave voters would now vote to return
But speed requires clarity. Britain would need a democratic mandate, a formal Article 49 application, regulatory alignment and an unequivocal commitment to full membership,
not another attempt to demand all the benefits while rejecting the obligations.
Questions over the euro, Schengen and budget contributions would require negotiation, but they are not insurmountable. EU members already participate in these arrangements differently.
The greatest obstacle is no longer EU law. It is Britain’s political courage.
If @andyburnham seeks and wins a clear mandate, Britain could be back at the European table before the end of the next Parliament.
