Daniel Hannah blocked me on Twitter pre Elon Musk, once I pointed out his racist view towards Hong Kongers in the UK. He has been wrong about everything related to Brexit, I am surprised anyone still takes him seriously.

This is my favourite part of Daniel Hannan's fantasy Brexit.

The very idea that this would happen at all, let alone by 24 June 2025 #HannanDay

Completely hatstand.

What Britain looks like after Brexit by Daniel Hannan, June 21, 2016 It’s 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration... Unsurprisingly, several other European countries have opted to copy Britain’s deal with the EU, based as it is upon a common market rather than a common government. Some of these countries were drawn from EFTA (Norway, Switzerland and Iceland are all bringing their arrangements into line with ours). Some came from further afield (Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine). Some followed us out of the EU (Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands). The United Kingdom now leads a 22-state bloc that forms a free trade area with the EU, but remains outside its political structures. https://archive.is/fIQ2T

Dan Hannan: I've always been at war with Felonia
rolandmcs.bsky.social Roland Smith @rolandmcs.bsky.social · Mar 9
I've seen Hannan claiming on X that he has consistently "strenuously opposed Trump" since 2016.

This is not my definition of "strenuously opposing Trump"... [shots are from 2020, 2024, Jan 2025 and Feb 2025]

We sent NHS staff into a deadly pandemic wearing bin liners. Hundreds of them died. Separated from their families for months, they worked unimaginable hours, and saw thousands drown in their bed.

And these worms DARE judge them for doing something silly for 5mins to boost morale and keep sane? WTAF

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick. That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

"I, a professional political commentator, was so excited about Trump persecuting minorities and trashing the climate that I was completely oblivious to his obvious sympathy with Putin. Please pay me for my political analysis."

I mean, rejoice over every sinner who repents and all that, but come on
