Bluesky is having a moment right now. X boss reposting fake news from Britain First has given lots of folks the push they need to leave.

First, we kick the Tories out. Then, on July 5th, we start the campaign to get the UK back into the EU.
Please retweet if you're up for this.

Imagine you have £1,000,000 in the bank, and then someone gives you £1.
That's not a £1,000,001 deal just because the amount you end up with is £1,000,001.
It's a £1 deal.
Same level of deceit being perpetrated here. £12 trillion is the combined GDP of all CPTPP members.

You and your friends Bob, Jack and Sue have a combined net worth of £12,000,000. (Lucky you!)
They give you £30 and you give them £50
That's an £80 deal, not a £12,000,080 deal.
Same level of deceit being perpetrated here. £12 trillion is the combined GDP of all CPTPP members.

Read this thread and weep. There will be thousands - if not hundreds of thousands - of stories like this. Terrible. Our Brexit benefits
Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.
Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

Leave the EU, your nearest neighbour, and lose 4% of GDP.
Join a trading bloc on the other side of the planet to gain 0.08% of GDP.

A balanced perspective by a Brookes academic on why the idea of 15min city would not work in Oxford. We have absolutely no amenities in where we live, and the council has committed a good part of 70 years to turn it from a cute village to a slum

This is a very, very important point
It explains why the Sun is concentrating on a story
of very little significance to our lives, thus distracting its readers from the real possibility that Boris Johnson is deliberately trying to destroy evidence of his criminality

Back us on Patreon to help us buy the poor confused Telegraph and relaunch it as a sensible newspaper that campaigns for Britain to rejoin the EU.

Unforgivable for Sunak Govt to disrupt #CovidInquiry with Judicial Review to prevent release of Johnson Whatsapps/diaries. Govt set up Inquiry & must trust Baroness Hallett's judgement about what’s relevant & what’s published. A huge insult to bereaved, NHS & care staff & us all
