“If they’d explained everything about Brexit, I’d probably have voted Remain!” @lewisgoodall.com visits The Talbot in Blackpool, the UK’s first Reform pub, where the owner regrets Brexit - but stops short of blaming one of the key figures who sold it to him: Nigel Farage.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union. The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled. If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

"According to CBS News... the plane would be donated to Trump's presidential library at the end of his term." "According to the National Archives, only the Reagan presidential library has an Air Force One jet." What exactly does a library do with a 747? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You have to hand it to Trump that in only 100 days he's made sure Putin is no longer the most dangerous and hated world leader.

Jeremy Hunt is among those charged but not *that* one, it's "Former police officer Jeremy Hunt, 55, of Horne, Horley, Surrey".

Yup. Just like 'Brexit Derangement Sydrome'. They are just phrases designed to be shouted so loud that the shouters can (almost) drown out the voices of conscience and truth.

A poor person found guilty of a few hundreds in benefit fraud may find themselves facing prison but a rich person guilty of embezzling millions will be asked nicely if they wouldn’t mind paying some of it back.

From Erich Kästner's diary at the end of WW2, talking about his fellow Germans: Depression is turning into irritability. Everyone is making someone else responsible. Everyone is blaming someone else. And everyone is excluding just one person from this blame, themselves. 1/3

I read that $13m was spent on the Florida *congressional* election which is a travesty of democracy but even worse $100m (Musk alone spent $10m) on the election of a *judge* who will only have secondary influence on the Wisconsin congressional election.

With regard to how to handle President Trump on trade, we learnt during Brexit that it is impossible to reason with a government determined to impose damage on itself and only prepared to listen to those who agree.
