It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.

Trump’s Tariffs impact on the UK. £30bn short term £74bn long term Our self-inflicted Brexit? £100bn just in lost trade every damn year. Trump’s tariffs still aren’t as costly to the UK as the barriers we put up ourselves with Brexit. If only there was something we could do? 🤔 #RejoinEU
