STOP LYING!
Dominic Raab:"All the UK is asking is to be treated like any other country. No other country would accept being bound by EU rules".

Except: Norway/Iceland/Liechtenstein(EEA), Switzerland(EFTA), Turkey(C-Union)...
You know, the other non-EU European countries..

Sorry about the speed. When I'm not watching it live, I put the speed setting on either x1.5 or x2 so I can catch up quickly.
@DominicRaab @SophyRidgeSky @RidgeOnSunday
Dominic Raab just repeated that same lie on #Marr.

IF journalists could PLEASE stop letting politicians get away with pretending Switzerland, Norway and Turkey don't exist, that'd be great.

Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?

It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.

It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.

"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.

So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.

Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.Image

It's time to start putting Tories in jail.

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are guilty of the same crime!

I don't know or care if I've already shared this on here.

It's OUTSTANDING.
Whenever I gave talks in schools, with 16/17-year-olds, I'd start by asking them if they cared about politics.

Very few hands would go up.

Then I'd ask if they care about shop prices, jobs after school, NHS treatment.

All the hands went up.

I'd then say "That's all politics".
That was me, until I was much older.

I didn't care about "politics".

I was a black kid born in Darlington, growing up in Dundee and Birmingham.

"Politics" was old, rich, suit-and-tied, white men, shouting at each other hundreds of miles away.

I saw zero connection to my life.
