RT by @CarolineLucas@respublicae.eu: 🔴 ‘Nigel Farage Is the Architect of the Uk’s Decline and It’s Time for the Rest of Us to Rebuild Our Home in Europe’
The disastrous Brexit experiment imposed on us by the Reform UK leader and his allies must now be reversed, argues Caroline Lucas

For Starmer to talk of national resilience & ignore the collapse of the natural world is absurd - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt out for him the risks it poses to our security in no uncertain terms.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/15/greens-properly-contest-byelection-makerfield-burnham?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

This makes an absolute mockery of Starmer’s pledge, just a few hours ago, to put the country “at the heart of Europe”. And why on earth is the Brexit vote one that can never be revisited - even when a majority in the country recognise it was a mistake & want to return? Madness
Sam Coates Sky (@SamCoatesSky)
EXC: Lisa Nandy tells @cathynewman there will be no return to single market or free movement with the EU (raising the question of how far Keir Starmer's EU reset announced this AM can actually go)
“I don't think anyone in this country wants to reopen the Brexit debate. We had a referendum. That referendum was won by leave.
"The majority of people voted for it…. there's no appetite, either from the government, from Europe, or from the public, I think, to start getting into renegotiating things like free movement, single market access.
"We went around that track for years during the Brexit wars. This country doesn't need any more division."

RT by @CarolineLucas@respublicae.eu: Keir Starmer is correct about the need to heal divisions.
But to equate protest of the genocide in Gaza with the hate march led by Tommy Robinson is a disgrace.
If Starmer thinks this is how we heal divisions it shows he hasn't begun to understand the problem.

Today the voices of division will be loud.
They don't speak for the country I know, one that belongs to all of us.
That's our Britain. A Britain worth fighting for.

This speech failed to do that.

RT by @CarolineLucas@respublicae.eu: The “Blue Labour” strategy still being promoted by some on Lab right is to try and win social cons while holding on to social liberals.
Failure state for this strategy is failing to win social cons while alienating social liberals.
