Who caused the ballooning of the debt in this country to begin with, it’s as if you have selective amnesia 🤔
What was inflation at its highest under the last government?

Inflation was at 11% under the last Tory Government.
The last Tory Government crashed the UK economy.
The Tories are in no position to criticise.

🥳 The pro-EU majority continues to grow and deepen.
7m new voters have reached voting age since 2016 and oppose Brexit by about 5:1.
Allowing for turnout, Peter Kellner estimates 3.5m new pro-EU voters versus 700,000 new pro-Brexit voters.
Even if nobody from 2016 had changed their mind, that demographic shift alone would now produce roughly a 55–45 majority for EU membership.
Then add switching: around 5m voters have changed their minds, and roughly three-quarters of them moved from Leave to Rejoin.
Put together, Kellner arrives at:
🇪🇺 Rejoin 63%
🇬🇧 Stay out 37%
A majority of almost 9 million.

Foreign Natinoals like your parents?
Why hasn't Nigel Farage resigned yet?
FOUR out of every FIVE jobs created in Britain between 2014 and 2025 went to foreign nationals.
Millions of Brits are unemployed and yet the Tories filled hundreds of thousands of British jobs with cheap foreign national labour.
Since 2020:
In London: Brits lost 26,500 payrolled jobs while non-EU foreign nationals gained 465,200.
Scotland: Brits lost 53,000, non-EU foreign nationals gained 130,200.
Midlands: Brits lost 55,100, non-EU foreign nationals gained 375,700.
All because the Tories let over 11 million people come here, despite repeatedly promising to cut immigration.
Many British people’s futures have been ruined as a result.
Reform will end the mass immigration scam for good and put British workers first.

You don't have to think the EU is perfect to want Britain back in it.
You can disagree with its policies. Want reforms. Criticise its institutions.
Membership isn't a declaration of unconditional love.
It's a practical choice about where Britain's future belongs.

“There should be no referendum until public opinion is so solid that it would be a mere rubber-stamping of the overwhelming public will”
Don’t worry, it’s getting there…

BBC impartiality.
The ONS says unemployment has fallen, but BBC Breakfast runs with the headline that job vacancies are down.
It's time Lisa Nandy did her job, got a grip on this organisation, and cleared out the Tory henchmen

London didn't become a great world city by looking inward.
It became one through trade, migration, culture, ideas and international connections.
Brexit introduced new barriers to some of those connections.
Why make it harder for London to connect with Europe?

🇪🇺🧊 JUST IN: EU to Unveil New Strategy to Strengthen Its Position in the Arctic
The European Commission is set to unveil a new Arctic strategy focused on security, digital infrastructure and closer partnerships with Canada and Greenland. Plans include a proposed undersea internet cable linking Greenland to Europe and efforts to strengthen satellite-based monitoring of potential threats.
As melting ice opens new shipping routes and access to natural resources, the EU is seeking a stronger role in a region of growing strategic importance. The Arctic holds:
- 13% of the world's undiscovered oil resources
- 30% of the world's undiscovered natural gas resources
- Significant deposits of critical minerals
- A strategic position at the crossroads of the world's major powers

All of Europe, UK including, needs to get off American technology underpinning our critical services asap.
We can be blackmailed & bullied by a rogue US until we actually run on core defence & telecomms that we have a stake in.
That is another reason why we should join the EU.
