The nasty little knot of far right ugliness that is Andrea Jenkyns (now Mayor of Lincolnshire) says it’s ‘no more soft touch Britain’. How lovely. Voters have basically handed her a loud dog whistle and told her to kick the people and policies they don’t like or understand. Failure is inevitable.

“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas” FFS. What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here? The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas? One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.

"British exports to the EU fell sharply after Brexit and have yet to recover, remaining 11% below their 2019 levels. Astonishingly, 4 out of every 10 British products once stocked on EU shelves have now vanished." @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social MP lays bare the damage Brexit has done. 👇

Brexit to blame for London’s millionaire exodus, Lisa Nandy claims. It comes after a report found that London is no longer one of the top five wealthiest cities in the world. Quitting the EEA's Freedom of Movement area has made the UK unattractive. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Right wing populist politics has been so damaging and so brain-achingly tedious this last decade. Look at where we are as a result. Far poorer, weaker, more divided, isolated from the EU and trying not to piss off an egomaniacal lunatic in the White House. Sovereignty at its most vulnerable.

Not enjoying the JD Vance piece on #r4today.. “There was a strong sense he sees Britain as something rather different from Europe, wasn’t there?” Of course. We’re much more desperate and exploitable on our own. Stop looking for a ‘special relationship’ in the fake flattery of ugly nationalists.

One possible upside of the Trump tariff lunacy is how he’s megaphoned to the world that making any deal with him would be truly insane. Unless you’re prepared to ‘kiss ass’ and betray your own interests, only for him to randomly change his mind. If you want red lines, that’s where they should be.

Would very much like “heading off the threat of Reform/Farage” to STOP being the way government decides on policy. It’s done nothing but profound harm since 2016 and Farage is still going strong. It doesn’t work for anyone, except him. on.ft.com/42eewsY

Republicans in Congress can join Democrats right now to turn off the bogus emergency Trump has declared to impose worldwide tariffs. Or they can continue to bend the knee to Trump.
