The algorithm on this cesspit is inextricably amateurish for someone who is supposedly the saviour of mankind. Why when I have already commented on a topic would I then want to see hundreds more posts about the same topic. I've had my say, now I want to move on.

So @lisanandy is on the tele this morning essentially saying the arguments for greater FoM have not been made in a way that explains to the electorate why it is a benefit. How is higher unemployment and lower wages driven my FoM a benefit to the one million NEETs. #BBCLauraK

Brexit was about higher wages and job opportunities for tjose negatively impacted by FoM. Stella and Labour want another generation of young adults to suffer the low wages and high unemployment their parents had to face.
Don’t let them get away with claiming Brexit was about freedoms for British businesses. Share this and join or donate to the @labour4europe to ensure we can keep exposing the damage it has done.

Why are Remainers so fragile that they have to insult those who voted for Brexit and block them immediately. How very EU. @jollygandt

Good morning. If you are going to talk about Binance and crypto services in the UK please make sure guests are correctly informed. Sir Jon Cunliffe has just said Binance is a FCA authorised crypto exchange in the UK. Binance is not authorised in the UK. @BBCr4today

I like @libdemdaisy, however, suggesting people who migrated to the UK after Brexit are different to those who came here under FoM is wrong. Six million people applied for settled status. In 2004 Labour had a chance to enforce restrictions, did they, no. #bbcqt

Just the other day Zack was saying how Labour were using Green Party policies to become more popular with the electorate.
"This is deeply irresponsible from a Labour government" Zack Polanski speaks to The National about Labour's approval of new gas drilling.

So Brexit has taken up too much bandwidth and had caused lots of animosity but people want the conversation reopened so more bandwidth is used and more animosity is created. #bbcqt

A few years after Putin murdered Alexander Litvinenko on British soil Labour allowed Alexander Lebedev to buy Russia's way into the UK media and political establishment. All to try to win a general election. Peter Mandelson gave the sale the go ahead, but you don't mention that.
Four years ago I summarised Putin’s interference in Brexit, from work from the previous four years

The appointment of a KGB spy to the owner of a London based newspaper was in 2010 in the build up to the general election Labour were destined to lose. Labour needed a sympathetic media outlet. The Standard had a list of Labour MPs not to target. That's the catalyst.

"The UK had lower and better managed migration when it was inside the EU". Prior to Brexit there were 5 EU migrants living in the UK for every one UK migrant in the wider EU. Post Brexit nearly 6 million EU migrants applied for settled status in the UK. That's well managed?
Just responding to Reform’s claims by show France vs Britain’s Net Migration figures over years. The Brexitwave of migration to the UK is what stands out. The UK had lower and better managed migration when it was inside the EU.

It is widely known gambling sites are used to turn crypto into fiat. Whilst gambling may have been the reason for the crypto transfers, money laundering and tax evasion are both prevalent via the use of gambling sites. #Dispatches

The nuclear race. The space race. The AI race. The suggestion that countries such as China and the U.S.A will work together to ensure AI is developed in partnership and for the good of the human race is for the birds. #newsnight

Direct Entry middle and senior leaders were supposed to improve leadership in policing. Where is policing now, the college of policing essentially saying leadership in policing is failing. Who knew, experience of policing is essential to being a good leader in policing.

For any parent worried about their child falling in with the wrong crowd seek out your local sports club. The sense of purpose, pride and camaraderie you get from team sports cannot be underestimated. To their credit the FA have lifted coaching and safeguarding standards.
John Stones 🕺😂 The energy in the changing room last night 🔥

I can't believe Keir Starmer is not going to fight Andy Burnham for the Labour Party leadership and ultimately PM. It shows Starmers biggest weakness, no conviction. Having fought so hard to become leader surely you make the person who wants your position to fight as well.
