This should be played over and over on loop until everyone knows that @Nigel_Farage supported Donald Trump blindly on Iran.

At every opportunity up until he realised the British people didn’t.

Own your actions, Nigel.

Shocking to see someone who helped sell Brexit blame Labour for its failure to deliver the promised benefits.

John Longworth was chairman of Vote Leave’s Business Council, co-chairman of Leave Means Leave and a Brexit Party MEP. He was a prominent advocate who helped persuade the public that leaving the EU would make Britain better off.

The Conservatives called the referendum, negotiated the withdrawal agreement, chose the terms of our future trading relationship and won an 80-seat majority promising to “Get Brexit Done”. They had the parliamentary power to implement their vision.

Labour was in opposition throughout those decisions.

Longworth himself told a parliamentary committee that leaving the single market and customs union was necessary to realise Brexit’s “enormous benefits”.

Those departures were central to the version of Brexit he championed.

They also brought trade barriers between Britain and its largest neighbouring market.

There is another irony here. When Longworth was an MEP, Britain helped make EU rules. We had elected representatives in the European Parliament, ministers voting in the Council and a place in negotiations shaping decisions across the continent.

Brexit surrendered those formal powers.

Where British businesses must meet EU rules to sell into its market, they still have to comply, but Britain no longer has the votes or representation to help decide those rules. The promise of taking back control came with a substantial loss of influence.

Labour can be held accountable for its own decisions.

But the cheek of blaming Labour for the consequences of choices Longworth spent years championing, after personally helping sell their supposed benefits, is extraordinary.

Nigel Farage got the American midterms wrong. Now he’s whingeing about a poll on the front page of the Mail On Sunday that has Reform down on 18%. Such a bad look.

Andy Burnham has declared deals agreed with the EU are not the “end of our ambition” as he seeks closer ties with the bloc. The PM said closer alignment could help slash supermarket prices, and reduce "illegal migration"

He knows with the demise of Trump the dominoes will fall worldwide - he is part of that so now pretends he isn't

Barnier has actually made the point that Britain would NOT have to join the euro or Schengen if it rejoins the EU, but the BBC failed to mention that - focusing instead on his unsurprising point that the single market cannot be cherry picked.

😡 Growth comparison with France/Germany is another Brexit trick to deceive people.

👀 A pub owner can blow up their own business, keep trading from the ruins and point to takings that beat the pub next door. That still doesn’t tell us what the business would have earned if they hadn’t wrecked it.

🔥 Comparing the UK’s growth with France’s doesn’t measure Brexit’s cost. The question is what Britain could have achieved without the damage Brexit did to trade, investment and productivity.

Restoring freedom of movement doesn't have to take years.

We could have our rights back in six months or less if the UK government made it a priority and reached an agreement with the EU.

After the Empire collapsed, Britain understood that it could no longer stand alone. Europe gave us the economic support to feed and power the country, and the Single Market made trade easier through shared standards and rules.

Brexit ripped away those prosthetics. Now, in a world dominated by power blocs, we’re bleeding influence and resilience. The American model is no substitute for a strong European partnership. And if Trump and Putin are helping to weaken Europe, that makes rebuilding our ties with it more urgent, not less.

So the question ALL patriots need to answer is how Britain survives if we refuse to stand with our neighbours.

This is the pathetic desperation coming from Reform.

They believe they are entitled to the seat and despite being destroyed in a poor third with a vote near to the 20% average polling suggests - it was fixed......

Simon Schama is bang on the money in today’s FT: liberal democracy is back in business. Trumpism in the US, Orban in Hungary, Vučić in Serbia have all been swept aside. In Israel, nearly 60 per cent of voters repudiated Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
