The Express… and Farage… want Brexit to be even worse than this…
Even more cost. More losses. More red tape. More queues. More businesses failing. Less tax revenue. Less investment. Less protection. Fewer rights. Less security.
But more white.
Their racism ruins us.

The average IQ of the tory party has increased quite a bit this week. Still well below UK average though.

Reform UK are presenting themselves as an insurgent political party, yet their adoption of former Conservatives shows they are nothing more than the 'Tories in disguise'.

"Assuming no change in the rate of taxation, and all other things being equal, the exchequer will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year.
Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Reeves could have chosen to halve the 20% rate of VAT with money to spare."

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’
The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) shows that estimates about the damage done by Brexit have underestimated its impact over the course of a decade. Data now suggests that Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6%–8%, reduced investment 12%–18%, and reduced productivity by 3%–4%.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

A man twice divorced with 2 children from each marriage. The hypocrisy oozes out of his every pore.
Nigel Farage:
"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."
Farage has two ex-wives.

Very important aspect of the pull factor for refugees coming to the UK in small boats aired on the Today program.
Asylum claimants who have already been rejected by an EU country, are no longer automatically barred from the UK since Brexit.
Applicants coming here get a second bite of the cherry.

Without Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have around £40bn more in her budget. We wouldn't be worrying about yet more crippling tax increases. The political establishment's Brexit omertà is crippling this country. The next general election must be used to rid our government of the Brexiters.
