A "growth budget" for UK? Rejoin the EU's customs Union, renegotiate a bespoke trade deal with 🇪🇺.
Use the billions in growth achieved before the next election to invest in areas that supported Brexit!
If the rumours are right and the UK, almost unilaterally given current global trends, cuts R&D funding at this critical moment, we're going to drift even further behind in economic growth, soft power, education, science, research, engineering, you name it .....
🔥 Are you angry that this Labour govt has "no plans" to get us back into Erasmus+?
Johnson axed Erasmus after saying there was "no threat" to it. So where's the mandate to stay out?

@euromove It is a lie from the @DailyMailUK to say "EU red tape...". It is UK red tape imposed by themselves thanks to Brexit. Get your facts right you lying British gutter paper.
Rupert Lowe, the new MP for Great Yarmouth, is anything but your typical "man of the people." A landed Cotswold toff, Lowe's career spans from his days as the unpopular football chairman of Southampton FC, to his current directorship of 13 corporate entities, including co-director with Akshata Murty (aka Mrs Rishi Sunak) at Digme Fitness which went bust in 2022 after taking £630,000 in furlough cash and owing creditors – including taxpayers – £6.1m.

For the rest, including cartoons, Pseuds, Dumb Britain and all the other regulars, you’ll have to buy the magazine.
The riots are behind us. But there is another test of senior Conservatives’ attitude to mob violence driven by conspiracy theories - their approach to Donald Trump. My @NewStatesman piece on the Tories backing the Republican candidate. https://t.co/gi7WZB3tgm
There's been lots of chatter in the mainstream media, and from certain MPs, in the last few days about trade unions.
So, here's a reminder of exactly why working people need a voice.

"'Avoid the sea!': Disbelief as lifeguards yell for people to stay away."
It has come to this. Lifeguards having to use loudspeakers to beg people not to swim, @SouthWestWater has being dumping sewage since last Wed.
So how's your family holiday going?

Guy nails grifter: “the biggest waste of money in the EU is the salary we all pay to Mr Farage. Let’s be honest about it, you are a member of the fisheries committee for example and you’re never there. Never. In 2011, no attendance. In 2012, no attendance”
Liz Cheney: "A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote against the Constitution."

BREAKING: While Tim Walz fills an entire stadium on Omaha, Nebraska, Donald Trump is failing to fill even a small arena. Trump’s rally starts in 3 minutes and this is the crowd. Retweet so all Americans see the Trump campaign implode in real time.
We should all be furious that as a year of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.
Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, and record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?

A fledgling 🇬🇧 cargo airline has told how Brexit red tape has forced it to go as far as the US for routine servicing and repairs at huge environmental and financial costs.
One Air’s CEO Chris Hope, said the last govt failed to do any Brexit impact assessment for aviation and the sector was concerned that Labour would make a similar “mysterious” omission when it opened talks with the EU about a reset in the cross-Channel trading relationship.
The company has criticised post-Brexit rules that require British pilots to be formally re-examined for identical qualifications in the EU at a substantial cost, while engineers’ hard-earned licences are rendered practically worthless outside Britain.

We shouldn't dismiss everyone who took part in the recent disorder as fanatics, says Kemi Badenoch, shortly after dismissing everyone who took part in the recent pro-Palestinian protests as anti-semites.
Am I the only one? I think Keir Starmer is the best Prime Minister for ages. I really think it's good to have adults in charge. I know that this comment is boring, but there it is .
