excellent point here. Many UK universities are globally prestigious. With china dominating the car market I'd say UK should really push their comparative advantage, which is universities. A strategic investment will win huge flows of students leaving US right now bsky.app/profile/olim...

Did you know the UK didn’t do any checks on EU meat imports at its border control posts for three years after Brexit?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm fed up of being gaslit on Brexit. We've had ten years of being gaslit on Brexit and it's got to stop. It was a stupid idea, it was executed really badly and too quickly and there are big problems that need to be discussed. Labour leadership needs to stop gaslighting us!

The truth has become basic. Trump is a fool who is fucking everything up. There's no more to it than that. But there's only so many times you can write that column. So people are forced to construct 'well actually he has a point' arguments and 'hidden strategy' think pieces.
