Train delayed or cancelled, write to your MP. They now run the railway it's only right they remain accountable for the service.

Nigel Farage is to “fire the starting gun” on Reform UK’s general election campaign with a nationwide tour beginning next week, The Telegraph can reveal ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

You do realise that if you rejoin the single market but not the EU you hand over the detailed regulation (past, present, future) of all UK business and commerce to Brussels, over which you will have no say? With any disputes adjudicated by a foreign court (the ECJ) over which you have no sway?

Before America entered WW2, hundreds of American pilots crossed the Atlantic to fight Hitler. They lost their American citizenship for it. They flew Spitfires for Britain. 77 of them never came home. This is the story of the Eagle Squadrons..🧵1/5

Michael Foot understood the part of the European argument that modern politics prefers to avoid: power without responsibility is a politician’s dream. If decisions are increasingly locked into institutions beyond the direct reach of the British electorate, Westminster gains a convenient alibi. Ministers can administer the settlement, facilitate the market and blame “the rules” when voters demand something different. Foot’s warning was that democracy means being able to use the ballot box to change policy, remove governments and alter the direction of the country. That is why the attraction of #EU membership has never been purely economic. For politicians comfortable with the neoliberal settlement, Brussels can provide political insulation. It narrows the range of choices, shifts responsibility upwards and makes fundamental change harder to deliver. Outside the EU, that excuse becomes weaker. If Westminster wants privatisation, austerity, weak industrial policy or the continued transfer of wealth upwards, then Westminster has to own it. MPs have to govern, make the case and answer for the consequences. That is the democratic reality Michael Foot was warning about. Sovereignty is uncomfortable because responsibility comes with it. The claim #Brexitisntworking comes from those who never understood what Brexit was all about in the first place. @PaulKnaggs #rejoin

The BBC has been accused of wasting licence fee payers’ money after spending almost a year investigating a joke. Read more about the joke here ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09…

Thank *God* somebody has said this. Never mind that this is the most ridiculous non-story, its a classic example of why the military should not be treated like a civilian environment, because it is not a civilian environment. Madam, the SAS is not Marks & Spencer telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09…

My former boss Sir Patrick Mayhew who was ex army and a Cabinet Minister - a big man to take refuge under the Cabinet table. “I thought it was quite a good shot” He remarked!

Try naming ten leading global companies to have emerged from the EU in the past decade and you will scratch every hair follicle off your head trying. Why exactly should we rejoin? It has barely managed to grow since we left. The eurozone shrank in the first three months of this year and was limping along at 1 per cent annual growth by the summer, with Germany, supposedly the engine of the whole enterprise, trailing below even that.

UK direct Brexit fiscal savings from avoided EU budget contributions total £525Bn net present value, discounted to January 26, built entirely on official Treasury and Commission data. Briefings for Britain, 03/07/2

Al, why do you want to punish the poor by bringing back hundreds of tariffs Britain was able to scrap by leaving this odious expensive customs union that has consistently made the cost of food must higher than world prices? Also, why throw away our great trade deals - far more and better than the EU? The biggest trade block in world we are in - not EU but CPTPP. Do you actually understand how a customs union works?

What Del Somerville did was wrong. But a 2 year prison sentence is obviously two-tier. Why is the British state punishing protestors harder than illegal migrants who break into our county and commit appalling crimes? Why do judges apply the principle of deterrence to sentencing protestors, and not to the illegal migrants who are terrorising women and girls across our country? Somerville got 2 years for swearing aggressively at the police and throwing a plastic bottle towards them. But for context: Maqbil Dhaheri arrived on a small boat and was sentenced in April 2026 for sexually assaulting a nurse. He escaped prison with a 12 month community order. Hussein Almiyyahi arrived in a small boat in April 2024 and was sentenced in May 2026 for four counts of sexual assaulting three women. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison. Tadi Alemeyeha arrived in July 2025 and was sentenced in February 2026 for sexually assaulting a woman and then threatening to keep her silent. He was sentenced for 18 months. This is why the British state has a legitimacy crisis. It exerts far more effort suppressing people’s concerns about immigration than actually fixing it. Reform will ensure the British government actually serves the British people again.

How’s Rail Nationalisation going?: “data reveals that this summer saw the worst performance on the railways since records began” - The Times. Also: “This represented a 49 per cent increase since 2019, with cancellations equating to 6 per cent of planned services, a new high.” Time to call the whole thing off? @andyburnham

Here’s Andrew Neil totally dismantling Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds on BBC Question Time. He should be given back his platform of interviewing our politicians. He’s the best in the business at holding them to account.

Dublin II was more trouble than it was worth when we were in EU; and we had to take in more immigrants than we deported. Totally dishonest of Labour and Lib Dems to claim it worked. We’d also have to take in more immigrants, with the EU demanding what numbers we must accept every year.

Hilarious. To avoid having to admit that Brexit was about who writes our laws and makes our decisions, Stella Creasy decides to invent her own new definition of the word sovereignty, and then whine about Trump and the Middle East - like EU membership would change those things.

Labour MP and UK Business and Trade Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, on BBC Question Time last night: "The deal we had [with the EU] has gone. We're never gonna get what we had before with our own currency and being outside Schengen" So Labour admit that rejoin is not possible.

The SAS are highly trained, highly dangerous men who serve and protect this country and make every one of us safer. They put their lives on the line for Britain. All so people like Monica Grenfell can sit comfortably at home and critique them for using “hurty words.” The SAS are one of the finest fighting forces on Earth and a unit Britain should be immensely proud of. Respected across the globe. Feared by our enemies. They are the best of us.
