In the olden days, we were supposed to be getting a major trade deal with the USA.

Now it's looking more like tariffs.

If only we had unfettered trade with our largest and nearest market to absorb some of the blow.

How about it, Labour? Time to kill off Brexit.

The Liberal Democrats will get my vote next time

I’ve been thinking about this - what about Champagne, for example. Are they really going to put tariffs on that??

‘If only’ indeed sir…

The more batshit crazy Trump gets, the more it will become obvious Brexit was a crap idea. The only good thing that may come from this is people may see Farage for what he really stands for!

Let's be piggy in the middle for 4 years while labour tries to work out what to do.

We'll need to kill off Labour first I fear..

The public keep telling the government this, but they’re not listening. It’s their mistake.

But we suffer.

renzelen.bsky.social•36 days ago

Indeed. We are ignored
but the rich are coddled and the right wing press are appeased.

antiquejohn.bsky.social•36 days ago

...and appeasing!

There is talk of an IMF bailout being needed this year.

Suppose the loan conditions included a requirement to join SM+CU to get growth started?

It would be logical as any sensible person knows it’s the only way we’ll get growth.

“I would do anything for growth,
But I won’t do *that*.”

If the future you want isn’t the MAGA boot stamping on your face for ever, please remind your MP that a better future is there for the taking. Quite a few MPs (including mine) are pro-Europe & not Trump fans. Let’s boost them & let the Brexit/Lexit rump know their time’s up.
