The Brexit Curse: Brexit cost UK £27bn in lost trade in first two years. British exports fell by 6.4%, imports by 3.1%. OBR forecast a 15% slump in trade, leading to a 4% reduction in national income, over the longer term. Self-inflicted harm. Rejoin the EU. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@waitrose This is something you seem to do every year. It's a serious #accessibility failure - you are actually creating a barrier for many people including those of short stature and with limited reach. Please stop it! South Harrow store #Disability #Inclusion #BarrierFree

‘We’re getting poorer’ says Nigel Farage in his Beth Rigby interview. I agree. The Brexit he championed is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts youtu.be/jvo1JM6xZqQ?...

Message to people following me on blue sky: Many thanks for the follow. However I'm unlikely to follow back if you haven't even posted anything on this platform and I'm wondering how, in light of this, you've managed to have 1K followers already? Do enlighten me and in the meantime post something.

‘What would you like for Christmas?’ ‘I’d like a unicorn please Santa’. ‘That’s impossible, think of something else’. ‘I’d like Nigel Farage to stop blaming immigrants for everything’ ‘Okay, what colour unicorn?’

🚨 Over 1.4 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months. This is 69% higher than the same period 5 years ago. This can't go on and we refuse to stand by while so many of us are pushed to the brink, without enough money to live on.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
