I’ve said this before and keep I’ll saying it, welcome to #TotalitarianDictatorshipUK orchestrated by the Tory/UKIP cult, supported by the BBC hierarchy and most of the MSM.

Politicians often discuss immigration as though Britain has a fixed number of jobs.
But immigrants don't just fill jobs.
They start businesses, create demand, bring investment and employ other people.
An economy isn't a game of musical chairs.

I think it’s important to remember that the people screaming about the absolute nerve of Burnham telling the truth about the Brexit failures are now a minority so quite honestly, shut the fuck up and do what’s best for the country and not RW journalists and politicians 👍🏻
Susanna Reid, "Why have you brought up rejoining the European Union?"
Andy Burnham, "We have a decade of experience now looking back at Brexit, and I don't think it has played out as people said at the time"
"We got a harder Brexit than was proposed in. the referendum campaign, it's weakened our economy, it's also weakened our control of immigration"
"That might surprise people because that was the big issue. - The small boats crisis has arisen since"
"I'm not proposing rejoining in this parliament"
"What I am saying is we need to take some practical steps to make things work better"
My view:
Ten years after the referendum, we can finally judge Brexit on its actual consequences rather than the promises made in 2016.
The economic evidence is substantial. The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that Brexit will leave Britain's long-term productivity 4% lower than if we had remained in the EU, with trade volumes around 15% lower.
And immigration? One of the great ironies of Brexit is that ending freedom of movement did not deliver the reductions promised. Instead, the Conservative government introduced a new immigration system, and net migration subsequently reached a record 944,000 in the year to March 2023.
We exchanged reciprocal freedom of movement, which also gave British citizens the right to live, work and retire across Europe, for a system that restricted those opportunities while initially producing substantially higher immigration.
The small boats crisis is a separate issue, but Brexit certainly did not resolve it.
There is also an important distinction between what people voted for in 2016 and the particular Brexit subsequently negotiated. The referendum did not specify leaving the Single Market or Customs Union.
Rejoining the EU would require negotiations, public consent and difficult decisions. But discussing it should not be treated as controversial or undemocratic.
Democracy did not end on 23 June 2016. Ten years of evidence should inform Britain's next decisions, not be ignored simply because the subject makes some politicians uncomfortable.
The question now is not whether Brexit can be defended as an article of faith, but what relationship with Europe will best serve Britain's economy, businesses, young people and future generations.

Looks like Reform have hit the same level of pulling power as Lee Anderson on Naked Attraction 🤣

£72 MILLION in donations.
A vast media operation.
And still they can’t fill the room.
Farage blamed “staff incompetence”.
Sometimes the camera tells you more than the speech. 👀

This was this afternoon at Rossal near Fleetwood. I was sat in the car with a coffee! I love the sea when it's wild...from a distance.
If the @RNLI were out in this over the last few days - thank you ❤️💙

I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students' List @studentblokade, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them on their victory. I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle.

Last week's Covid Inquiry report into care was a devastating verdict on @MattHancock's failures during the pandemic.
His response: silence.
He doesn't care.
Show him we still do; sign our petition to hold him accountable.

He skipped school, withdrew £200, bought a one-way ticket to London, and disappeared. Nobody has seen him since.
On September 14, 2007, 14-year-old Andrew Gosden left his family home in Doncaster, England, and appeared to be heading to school as usual.
Andrew was a bright teenager with an excellent school attendance record. His family had no reason to suspect that anything was wrong.
But that morning, he never arrived at school.
Instead, he waited until his family had left home, returned to the house, changed out of his school uniform and put on a black Slipknot T-shirt, black jeans and Vans trainers. He also took his PlayStation Portable.
Then he walked to the railway station.
He bought a one-way ticket to London
On his way to the station, Andrew withdrew £200 from his bank account, almost emptying it.
He bought a one-way ticket to London King's Cross. The ticket seller reportedly offered him a return ticket for less than £1 extra, but Andrew declined.
At approximately 9:36 a.m., he boarded a train to London.
He travelled alone, carrying his belongings and playing on his handheld game console during the journey.
The train arrived at King's Cross at around 11:20 a.m. CCTV footage captured Andrew leaving the station about five minutes later.
It was the last confirmed sighting of him.
He was just 14 years old, alone in London, and his family had no idea where he was.
His family discovered he was missing
That evening, Andrew's family expected him to return home from school. When he did not appear, they began searching for him.
They discovered that he had not attended school and eventually learned that he had withdrawn money and travelled to London.
His father, Kevin Gosden, and the rest of the family were desperate for answers.
Andrew had not told them about the trip. He had not arranged a known place to stay, and there was no confirmed evidence that he had planned to meet anyone.
Why had he travelled to London? Did he intend to return home that evening? Had he arranged to meet somebody?
Nobody knew.
The trail went cold
Police investigated possible sightings and followed numerous leads, but none established what happened after Andrew left King's Cross station.
His family continued appealing for information, and missing-person organisations helped keep his case in the public eye.
Andrew had light brown hair, brown eyes and wore strong prescription glasses. He was also deaf in his left ear and had a distinctive double ridge on his right ear. Investigators later released age-progressed images showing how he might look as an adult.
Years passed without a confirmed sighting.
Two men were arrested
In December 2021, police arrested two men on suspicion of offences including kidnapping as part of the investigation into Andrew's disappearance.
The arrests renewed hopes that the case might finally be solved.
However, the men were later released from the investigation. By September 2023, police had confirmed that they had been eliminated from the inquiry.
The arrests produced no answers about Andrew's whereabouts.
What happened to Andrew Gosden?
More than 19 years have passed since Andrew disappeared. He would now be in his thirties.
Investigators know that he left Doncaster, withdrew money, bought a one-way ticket to London and arrived at King's Cross. What happened after he walked out of the station remains unknown.
There is no confirmed evidence establishing whether Andrew was abducted, harmed by someone he met, or deliberately disappeared.
His family has spent years searching for answers, without knowing whether he is alive or what happened to him.
A 14-year-old boy travelled to London alone. A camera recorded him leaving the station. Then every confirmed trace of him disappeared.
Someone may know what happened that day. Even a small piece of information could help investigators understand where Andrew went.
Nearly two decades later, his family is still waiting for answers.

Trend je jasný: Evropa se postupně zbavuje proruských loutek. ✅
Po pádu Orbána v Budapešti následoval dnes velký pád Vučiće v Bělehradě.
Gratuluji. 👏🏻

So a few hrs ago I scattered a couple of kids from outside the pub who kept trying to spraf tabs. Yet when people refused they became abusive and slagged people off.
Several times in the last 2 hrs the same kids have come through to pub to use the toilet. Hitting me with abuse as they walked past.
Then one of them started shouting shit at the door so I lifted my phone and took a photo. The lad ran in and started lashing out. Managed to catch my in the face with god knows what yet I managed to push them back towards the door.
To anyone or the parents of these scummy little cunts. Be ashamed you have failed at parenting. Your kids are acting like cunts because of lack of discipline.

“Crime is spiralling out of control under Labour” says Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp.
It’s a lie.
According to the new Crime Survey:
-violent crime DOWN
-knife crime DOWN
-robbery DOWN
-overall crime DOWN
-shoplifting DOWN
Yet Tory/Reform liars say it’s surging…
