10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Reform is a Limited Company
Farage owns 53%
It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”
It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget
It wants to privatise the NHS
& invest in fossil fuels
Close the BBC
& break International law
It’s a scam

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Here is the map of data centres in Ireland - over 130 of them.
Data centres now consume 22% of Ireland’s electricity

🚨 Ten years after the referendum and the verdict is in:
@dsmitheconomics in The Sunday Times lays out the lost growth advantage.
UK real per capita GDP growth 2016–2025: just 5.4%
Italy: 11.6%
Spain: 11.1%
Eurozone: 10.2%
France: 8.4%
Britain needs to face reality and undo Brexit.
May 30
🚨 Brexit has damaged UK investment, growth, trade and productivity.
The UK used to comfortably outperform France, Germany and Italy. That advantage has gone.
GDP per head has lagged behind major EU peers since 2016. The post-Brexit immigration surge has masked some of the weakness in underlying performance.
Public opinion has shifted dramatically. A majority now believe Brexit was a mistake, with polls suggesting a rejoin referendum could pass by a big margin.
The current “reset” under Starmer is delivering very little, just 0.3% of GDP over 15 years according to some estimates.

Farage has a company, Thorn in the Side, which he uses to launder his media income (so he doesn't pay income tax). His earnings from I'm a Celebrity were paid into it, and were still there in 2025. He didn't use them to buy a house.

The Chinese applied their tricks on Trump, giving him a smaller chair than the one the Chinese president sits on!
The discomfort on Trump's face is obvious, as Xi appears to be a head taller!

Jacob Rees-Mogg put at least £100m in a tax haven, Nadhim Zahawi £20m, Lord Bamford owes more than £500m.
You only need to crackdown on a few dozen tax avoiders like these and soon you have £22bn.

Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit.
The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.
This grifter must not become prime minister.

The British media is doing everything it can to make this mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, lazy, security risk the PM. Ask yourselves why? Why do they want that so badly, who benefits? It's not going to be the British people.
Follow the money, always follow the money.

Since Brexit we’ve been unable to sustain a PM for more than a couple of years.
The circus is ungovernable.
Not helped by a political media clique that, emboldened by social media, thinks its job is to start a ticking clock on a PM’s downfall the second they start.
Grim.
