The US are a gang of robbers. Same idea as Russia, somewhat different methods so far.

→ A vote for #Brexit was a vote for #Putin 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗡’𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗔 Russian interference helped secure Brexit, a key strategic win for Vladimir Putin. My report today on EU-ROPE blog. Summaries and discussions across my social media. Share and take part. tinyurl.com/2e3sakd7

Closer EU alignment would boost growth, strengthen our hand against an unpredictable US and set a trap for Farage and Badenoch www.theneweuropean.co.uk/alastair-cam...

Yep 👇

this was definitely a new low for Kemi Badenoch at PMQs yesterday - via Tom Peck in Times

The Telegraph and Farage supported Brexit, endorsed Johnson and his deal (remember Farage withdrew candidates from Tory-facing seats), and shook their pom-poms for Trump and his tariff war. Now they're framing the consequences as if they're an accident. Amazing brass neck. ~AA

I cannot adequately explain how angry this makes me.

“Mirror readers have described Brexit as an 'unmitigated disaster' without 'one single benefit' after the economic costs were 'played down'. Leaving the European Union has been 👉proven 👈 to have made Brits' lives worse in at least six ways….” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Greg Dyke, former Director-General of the BBC, "Leaving the EU was a disaster for this country" "The Brexiters, when you talk to them they accept it hasn't gone well, then they say we didn't do it the right way"

The villains of Brexit. They have a lot to answer for but in the end it’s those that voted for it that got us in this mess. www.independent.co.uk/voices/villa...

GB News, "Surely Brexit is a good thing?" Andy Dixon, Fisherman, "It's been bad. It hasn't worked out as the government promised.. Locally, in North Shields, it's been a bit of a disaster" GB News, "In what way?" Andy Dixon, "Red tape, documentation, it's 100x what it used to be"

Nigel Farage decides to be honest about Brexit.

🔥 FINALLY! The BBC are finally doing the public education service on Brexit that they always should have. Have a read. 👇👇

The 5-Year Brexit Checklist: £350m/week for NHS ❌ Lower immigration ❌ Better border control ❌ Less red tape ❌ Lower prices ❌ Cheaper homes ❌ Cheaper food ❌ Cheaper energy ❌ Better for farmers ❌ Better for fishermen ❌ Free trade deal with USA ❌ No border in the Irish Sea ❌ Same benefits as before ❌

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Victoria Derbyshire : "The Chancellor wants the UK to be the next Silicon Valley. What are the chances?" Hermann Hauser, creator of the ARM semiconductor : "Zero" Britain is a minnow outside the EU @vicderbyshire.bsky.social, BBC Newsnight, 18 April 2023 - Jeremy Hunt was Chancellor at the time

Wow @lordsugar gives Brexit full reality check and fhe BBC broadcast it! 'The biggest disaster in my lifetime was us leaving the EU' “If I was PM, I’d be coming along on my bended knees asking to be allowed back in.”

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.

The number of Brits who think leaving the EU was the right decision is at its lowest level EVER. This is a moment. New polling from @yougov.co.uk five years on from Brexit.

“Progress in lowering barriers to trade with the EU, the UK’s biggest market, would deliver a positive jolt to sentiment” Come on guys. This is painful. It’s our biggest market. There’s no magic formula. And no Brexit benefits. If there were, we’d know about them by now. www.ft.com/content/5452...

This and nothing else.

As night follows day. It’s never their economic illiteracy at fault, their delusions of grandeur, their utter misunderstanding of what the EU is or does and the UK’s place in the world. It is and was always going to be the betrayal and mismanagement of their fantasies. Reality’s a bitch sometimes.

Because they were taking your jobs…

Americans saying they will start drinking Italian coffee are the kindred spirits of the English fuckwits who will only drink Yorkshire tea.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

It’s as if they don’t want UK businesses to import and export.

The problem is really simple, on every channel, on every radio station, in every newspaper you listen to the lies of the richest. The lies are always the same, they need more money, they can't be taxed, everything is the fault of immigrants or disabled people. But they're the problem.

👊

Fascism and Oligarchy have joined forces. Their aim is to destroy our democracies so they can rule like feudal lords. Only a strong EU can counter that. The best way to make the EU and Britain stronger is to reverse Brexit – so that we can all stand united again on the barricade against tyranny. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Exactly!

"UK goods exports to the EU between 2021 and 2023 were down by 27% while EU goods imports to the UK were down by 32%... Meanwhile, other G7 countries including the US, Japan, France and Italy enjoyed a boom in trade." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You mean to say that Brexit is not the unmitigated success story that everyone has been telling me it is for the past several years? Someone should tell the haunted hatstand. He’s going to be fuming.

The fact that so many are being taken in by an insane pitch from right wing politicians that the UK needs to leave the ECHR - based on a wildly inaccurate & misleading premise - is an indictment of UK media’s inability to call it out Leaving the ECHR will undermine all our rights. It’s that simple

Trump doesn't lie does he ?

Trump wants to annex Canada, which means that somewhere in Canada right now, a nun with an amazing singing voice has taken the job as a nanny for a widowed naval Captain and his 7 children.

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him. For love of god, England, work it out… (Private Eye)

Calls to leave the ECHR and replace it with a British Bill of Rights pre-supposes you can actually trust the party proposing it with your human rights in first place. Would you trust Nigel Farage with your human rights?

Nick Ferrari is currently asking the nation, who is the biggest economy crasher; Liz Truss or Rachel Reeves. I kid you not. Staggering propaganda. The collective right-wing media are now rewriting history, gaslighting the nation.

Labour have a gigantic majority. It's like having temporary charge of a bulldozer. There's no policy Starmer can't bludgeon through Parliament, if he wants. The other parties have no practical way to stop him. But in 4.5 years, the bulldozer is likely to get repossessed. So the clock is ticking...

Why don’t we do this??
