The UK has joined Russia, Belarus, and Turkey as the only countries in Europe where you can’t protest peacefully.
This marks a new low for the UK and British democracy. This could have been prevented if Labour grew a spine and opposed the Tories.

“Why do you keep talking about Brexit so much?”
Because nearly every problem Britain is facing has been caused or exacerbated by Brexit.
Until we address the root cause of our problems, we will never recover.

That’s not true, Darren. AstraZeneca chose Ireland because they need easy access to pharmaceutical supplies from the EU. Because of Brexit, these supplies are harder to import now. It doesn’t matter if the UK reduces taxes, companies still have to deal with Brexit red tape.

Immigration to the UK rose to a record high of 606,000 in 2022.
Britain spent more than 7 years complaining about immigration from the EU, making EU citizens feel unwelcome and forcing them to go home, only to replace them with even higher numbers from the rest of the world.

It’s called Proportional Representation. It doesn’t matter that PiS won the most seats, because they only had 1 other coalition partner, and that party didn’t perform well. Therefore, the 3 opposition parties who had already agreed to be in a coalition, have a better chance.
