Irish in Oxford. No to Brexit, yes to gardens, good wine and renationalising the water companies.

They do outside catering. I ordered for a summer party. Delicious food reasonably priced.

People say Farage has charisma. This isn’t charismatic. This is dismissive and rude. It’s a serious question about BNP-style racism within his party. And Farage can’t cope with that kind of scrutiny. So he lashes out.
Under the spotlight, his β€˜charisma’ turns very sour indeed.

β€œI do not believe that anybody voted for 1.8 million fewer jobs to be created in our economy, or for 16,000 businesses to give up on trading with Europe because the basic consequence of Brexit was paperwork. I do not believe that anybody in this country really wanted those outcomes.”

It’s no wonder the majority of the public want to rejoin the EU - isolation has cost us our freedoms and has devestated the economy. The future must be European if we are serious about repairing the damage.

Starmer needs to get on the phone to Trump and ask him to set out a plan to protect civilians and support a democratic transition in Iran.

We've seen before that bombs don't bring about democracy and regime change without a plan just leads to more chaos and suffering.

I really don't want everyone to forget about Ukraine, given what's happening in the world. What's happening there has been going on for a short time, but in my country it's been going on for years and we live with it.

Brexit Britain’s truckers bear the brunt of new EU border controls For many British drivers who rely on frictionless travel to do their jobs, the new checks could spell disaster.

Brexit wasn’t a one-off rupture.
It was a choice to swap a seat at the captain’s table for a life raft beside the ship.

Now EU border controls tighten and truckers, farmers, exporters and shoppers pay the price.

We punished ourselves and chose
third-country decline.

Reform leader Nigel Farage has posted on X

β€œ1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”

It’s racked up 2 million views AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE

Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy.

A masterclass in quality journalism.

At this very moment both the BBC News and Sky News channels are yet again showing a live speech by Nigel Farage. When will they start showing every speech by @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk live as well?

Just as worrying, the founder and owner of Palantir
was a close friend & colleague of
paedophile & sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
who'd have loved to have the medical records
of underage girls most vulnerable to abuse

It is only in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ , the seat of the corruption, where those at the heart are not being forced out.

I wonder whether πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ citizens and πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ politicians understand how weak, how ineffective and how utterly rotten it looks from the outside?

Cardews of Oxford: The Blend of Old School and Insta Cool - Oxford Covered Market

Cardews was founded in St Michael’s Street in the late ’40s by a Polish gentleman who adopted his Cardew name when he settled here at the end of the Second World War. The current owner, John, took over in 1983.

A large stuffed folder of files with the title β€œEpstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

Starmer's moment of reckoning Where is the competent boring government we were promised?

While not the β€œscandal of the century”, the root cause of this mess is because Starmer loaned out his political judgment to McSweeney, & alienated his core support.
Where is the competent boring govt we were promised? Can we have that, but with some vision?
