Color Scheme

Liz Webster: @PickardJE of @FT…

🚨 @PickardJE of @FT gets to the heart of Starmer’s Brexit deceit: “Are you ruling out single market or customs union membership at the next election? Because without either, our economy is very much not at the heart of Europe.” Starmer’s answer: more vague waffle about a “big leap forward” at the summit, turning our back on past arguments, and “looking forward together.” You can’t be meaningfully “at the heart of Europe” while refusing the economic structures that define that relationship.

Liz Webster: As Starmer faces a leadership…

😡 As Starmer faces a leadership crisis and expected local election wipeout, his niece Ellie Sandover has been parachuted into a safe Labour seat in Croydon. Sitting councillors reportedly removed to make way for her. Nepotism and central control, while he lectures everyone else about “due process.” @LibDems did similar with @DavidCampanale in Sutton and are now staring at a big payout. Party machine control freakery looking after their own while preaching democracy. Voters notice.

Liz Webster: John Major…

✅ John Major “The fate of individual politicians doesn't really matter as much as the development of the right policy.” Starmer’s in trouble bc of his commitment to Brexit - bad policy. Trying to make Brexit work with US trade deals, lowers standards, exposing farmers, and chipping away at the resilience we desperately need. Brexit made us more vulnerable. We can’t fix generational decline by opening the door wider to imports that undercut British production. We need policy that rebuilds domestic food security, not more short-term trade-offs.
