It’s too late for the Tories to admit that they were wrong to back Trump, even if it means having a dictator in the White House.

I’m not sure ANZUK is as catchy a buzzword to use

nash0rn.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well if there is any consistency in his views then it's only the desire for alignment and close association with the US.

stevepeers.bsky.social•6 days ago

Support for free trade and love for Trump are obviously incompatible

willythepeople.bsky.social•6 days ago

Kind of funny that all the brexiteers that used to rabidly squeal about 'sovereignty' are now wearing their knees and tongues out in their desperation to genuflect in front of the Diapered Dictator.

edsaykay.bsky.social•6 days ago

Only six months left for this bum sneeze of his to become reality! https://www.reaction.life/p/britain-looks-like-brexit

paulmurray.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hannan is consistently wrong on absolutely everything.

brennick.bsky.social•6 days ago

Always had a Stephen Miller/Goebbels mien to him.

pericelekton.bsky.social•6 days ago

The latest (and possibly last) illusion of the EU-haters: to think that the the UK has a choice.

l1zz1e.bsky.social•6 days ago

How long do we have to refer to the Leader of the free world. Wrong in so many ways now.

Won't be shrinking if we join it, Dan. That's maths.

stevepeers.bsky.social•6 days ago

Notice the absence of principle here - just 'be on the same side as the bully'. Anyway it's not as if Canada, Mexico, Arab countries etc are on Trump's side.

margarance.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m not sure principled positions are desperate Dan’s ‘thing’.

londondiscuss.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hannan has no principles other than to damage the UK. I was told he came up with the line "This country has had enough of experts" which was then welded so effectively by Gove.

ajkitch.bsky.social•6 days ago

I thought you'd grabbed Sid Waddell's famous quote about Alexander the Great for a second there!

gillwest.bsky.social•6 days ago

In true Hannan style, there is no topic upon which he thinks he has the right to opine and where he is unerringly and inevitably wrong. Whatever they inculcate in them at those public schools, humility and the ability to know when to stay silent on topics they know little about, don’t figure.

jlofts20.bsky.social•6 days ago

At this point we should just start referring to Hannan et al as quislings.

victoria1921.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hannan. Rewarded by Tories with a peerage for Vote Leave, Brexit work

Won't read his article because it's probably Torygraph.

But there's an elephant in the room. Hannan, other agitators forced a referendum, otherwise UK would still be in EU, no choice to make

victoria1921.bsky.social•6 days ago

I support Wikipedia, so think it's useful to share this Hannan information.

207michael.bsky.social•6 days ago

People like Hannan show their lack of values when they side with Trump. What trump is doing domestically and internationally is extremely irrational and cannot be defended.

edacuk.bsky.social•6 days ago

He has been reliably wrong on everything for at least the last 10 years

bosalls.bsky.social•6 days ago

Didn’t he co-author a chapter of Project 2025 on trade?

alarcos.bsky.social•6 days ago

At what point do UK media stop inviting dudes who are supporting folks that want to coerce and occupy friends and allies?

stevepeers.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think he has a column!

alarcos.bsky.social•6 days ago

I am sure it is possible for folks like Hannan not to have a column ... I haven't one for 58 years and it never really hampered me in life🤭 I am sure it would be better of all of us if Hannan's columns would become a thing of the past ... he can still blog on substack or wordpress.

sutherla.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Trumposphere not the Anglosphere

Never got anything right did he.

He just wanted a white English speaking empire, how he gets that is immaterial to him.

stevepeers.bsky.social•6 days ago

I guess a modern American empire would excite him just as much as the historic British empire @ottoenglish.bsky.social

sustainablefarming.bsky.social•6 days ago

His role in the destruction of the UK’s agricultural sector just adds insult to injury.

How will the UK propose to import food from Europe if the UK sides with Trump?

stevepeers.bsky.social•6 days ago

The EU will sell to anyone who will buy.

sustainablefarming.bsky.social•6 days ago

Indeed - but if Trump insists on UK tariffs on EU produce - that’s a very big cost.

ianrobo.bsky.social•6 days ago

why on earth would we agree to that ?? Sorry to think we would kill our economy that way is madness

sustainablefarming.bsky.social•6 days ago

Daniel Hannan has many bizarre idiotic ideas - and the economic costs of those ideas are catastrophically high.

ianrobo.bsky.social•6 days ago

like we will see int he US of course with farmers already squealing as money withheld and USAID cash gone ...

207michael.bsky.social•6 days ago

If that did occur, and frankly only reform would be dumb enough to do that, it would breach the TCA. So I doubt that would occur

sustainablefarming.bsky.social•6 days ago

We can hope. The point was just to highlight the incoherence of Hannan’s stated aims.

207michael.bsky.social•6 days ago

Which is true of course his aims are incoherent and irrational. But realistically only reform or a seriously desperate Tory party.l would try to sell something this crazy

magicmoneytree.bsky.social•6 days ago

He's a fucking nutter

minderbinder8.bsky.social•6 days ago

I wonder if he is still a CANZUK fan?

danbratton2022.bsky.social•6 days ago

He used to constantly wang on about that CANZUK stuff, seems that’s all been forgotten now.

euromec23.bsky.social•6 days ago

Interestingly the wanging on about Canzuk is growing in the social media sphere, the problem with the older Canzukers is that it's coming from the centre not the right.
