We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants. But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis. #bbcqt

Kemi’s Achilles heel is her arrogance. It keeps cropping up and it is the main thing that stops her from progressing to the next level as a leader.

Not so long ago BBC Newsnight really was a heavyweight programme covering domestic politics and international affairs with a stellar team of anchors and foreign correspondents. This was before BBC bosses hacked the budgets and made it into a Radio 5 style chat show.
“The credit card is maxed out… my fear come 28 October is that they look to the endless piggy bank of business.” Lord Walker, executive chairman of Iceland, looks ahead to the Autumn Budget. #Newsnight

Ten years ago, Brexiteers turned people’s genuine grievances into bait. Food too expensive? Blame the EU. NHS queues? Blame foreigners. Low wages, scarce housing and overstretched services? Blame immigration. Their campaign films portrayed an idyllic, uncrowded and prosperous Britain, as though Europe alone was preventing us from having it. Enough people took the bait, and the entire country was caught in the Brexit trap. A decade later, food is dearer, trade is harder, the economy is weaker, immigration is higher and public services remain overwhelmed. The fantasy has collided with reality. Now only 30% believe Britain was right to leave, while 59% support rejoining. The Brexit dream is dying because people can finally see the trap.
Replying to @LizWebsterSBF
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg said it would be different and food and clothes would be cheaper.

"No cherry picking." Michel Barnier, the man who negotiated Brexit for the EU, welcomes Andy Burnham weighing up whether the UK should rejoin the EU. But he has a familiar warning about the possible terms. #R4Today

Or… ‘The UK can keep the pound, and would not have to join Schengen…’ Framing is important, @BBCr4today

UK trade policy failed in large part under the guidance of those quoted in this article, and worse still none of them appeared to learn anything from it, so really not a strong counter to movement towards the EU. politico.eu/article/tories-a…

One day the US is injecting lethal doses to kill her, the very next day, having botched that, it's desperately trying to resuscitate her on life-support. It's barbaric Think about that, US politicians, the next time you come over here to lecture us Europeans on our "values"

Katie Lam just said the secret but inevitable bit out loud - Conservatives opposing our reform of the Triple Lock are actually on track to scrap or means test the State Pension
In a leaked recording in June, Katie Lam appears to break from Kemi Badenoch’s position, saying an ‘entirely new pension system’ may be needed thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

🚨 This is extraordinarily serious. Trump isn’t just rejecting the ICC’s jurisdiction over Americans: he is threatening banks, insurers, technology companies and other suppliers with secondary sanctions simply for enabling the court to function. This is an attempt to destroy an international legal institution through American financial power. The message to Britain is nakedly coercive: because the UK benefits from US military protection and law enforcement cooperation, Washington expects it to abandon the ICC. @andyburnham now faces a defining test on whether Britain defends international law alongside out European allies or capitulates to Trump. This exposes the strategic cost of Brexit. Outside the EU, Britain is more isolated and therefore more susceptible to American pressure. Brexit has left us with less collective power to resist a US president demanding obedience.
