📊 The 2016 Brexit electorate no longer exists.

Peter Kellner has updated the sums using YouGov and ONS data.

Since 2016:

🔹 Around 3.8m Leave voters have died, against 2.1m Remain voters.
🔹 Around 7m new voters have reached voting age, overwhelmingly pro-European.
🔹 Around 5m voters have changed their minds 👉roughly three-quarters of them moving from Leave to Rejoin.

His estimate of how Britain would vote now:

🇪🇺 REJOIN: 20.0m 👉 63%
🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 11.8m 👉 37%

A majority of almost 9 million.

Brexit happened. Britain has lived with it for a decade.

But democracy does not freeze the electorate in 2016 forever.

The question is what Britain wants now not what it indicated in 2016.

“Zelensky is the one who wants this war to continue…”

Much more of this nonsense and we're going to have to insist that America stop using British places in their names - we're talking to you New York, Boston and Washington

The WSJ editorial board states outright: “…there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests.”

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

Every European politician who has ever talked about "sovereignty" needs to respond to this

@AbdulElSayed Maybe Tommy should ask where the president's allegiance is because it looks like its to Russia.

Rubio tvrdí, že Starshield „nemá s Ukrajinou nic společného“. Zakázky jeho vlastní vlády ale ukazují, že americké letectvo ho kupuje za peníze cizí vlády a spojení ukrajinské armády platí Německo a Polsko. Když Washington službu omezil, sáhl na zaplacenou smlouvu, ve které je sám prodávajícím.

To může mít dalekosáhlé následky pro další smlouvy, které Washington bude se svými spojenci uzavírat, nehledě na tom, kdo bude sedět v Bílém domě.

O tom, jak Američané omezením připojení se službám Starlink/Starshield bodli Ukrajincům kudlu do zad, píšu ve dnešním článku.

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.

Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.

Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.

Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

Vladimir Putin appears to have concluded that he cannot win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield. His strategy now is to grind Ukraine down. How scandalous that Donald Trump has become his best weapon https://t.co/vOpJsJYM3I

If the NATO soldiers he is insulting saw Americans fight then they got a lot closer to the action than Hegseth ever did.

Netanyahu: "1,200 Israelis dying on October 7th is the equivalent of 40,000 Americans dying in one day."

By the same logic, Israel has killed over 3.7% Palestinian population - which is the equivalent of 12.5 million Americans

By his own logic, he's committed a Holocaust-scale massacre multiple times over.

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.

[Janis Kluge @jakluge]

If Musk is responsible for weakening Ukraine's defenses at this critical time, his businesses need to be excluded from any critical infrastructure in Europe. Not as a sanction, but as self-protection.

[Michael MacKay @mhmck]

Russian invaders carried out a large aerial strike last night on more than 15 critical power generation and transmission facilities across Ukraine. The russians received substantial help from their ally, the United States, to make these attacks more devastating.

The damage for SpaceX is massive

"The European Union is working toward fast-track antitrust approval for a satellite joint venture between Leonardo SpA, Airbus SE, and Thales SA, which is positioned as Europe's response to SpaceX"

The actions of the 🇺🇸 US administration have consequences.

Recent reports from 4 sources confirm that both Elon and Trump supported the restrictions of Starshield, which confirms my earlier posts stating that SpaceX is involved and part of it.

The Telegraph on Oct. 16 reported that it was Musk who proposed the speed cap to Trump — and Trump "agreed," one source said.

That sounds very likely to what really had happened including Elons denial to have any responsibility (half true) and Trumps lie which is just one more of the many he spreads every day. https://t.co/Pe0dS020BV

I would genuinely love to hear a member of the Newsnight production team, offer a justification of how it made a lick of sense editorially to have the podcasting former banjo player from Mumford and Sons argue tax and economic policy with an actual economist from the Green Party.

It’s becoming obvious to everyone as Kegseth gets heckled by a journalist, 🇬🇧

Traitors, the lot of them.
