How ludicrous to claim sovereignty as a benefit of brexit whilst praising the Tories entering Trans Pacific Partnership which expressly gives sovereignty away.

🚨 This is now unavoidable

In Nov last year, Blue Labour founder Lord Glasman said Brexit was a great move and Labour should embrace Trump.

Now Trump aligns with Russia, attacks EU, undermines Ukraine.

Labour has to choose:

🇪🇺 Europe & democracy
or
🇺🇸 Brexit-Trump dependency.

You can’t do both.

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.
FINANCIAL TIMES I was amused - and saddened - to read the latest instalment of the Brexiters' excuses for the poor performance over recent years of the UK economy and the UK's politics. In "Implementation of Brexit became a business fiasco" (Markets Insight, December 19), Paul Marshall acknowledges the cost of the UK's decision to leave the EU. But rather than acknowledge that his analysis was wrong - cutting ties with your biggest trading partner is never a good idea - Marshall blames bad implementation, and the fact that the EU didn't cut the UK some slack. Implementation of Brexit by the UK has indeed been poor, but that's a direct consequence of the political crisis that everyone should have expected following such a major decision on the back of one simple 52/48 referendum vote at the conclusion of a mind-bogglingly uninformed debate by both sides. That includes the Brexiters' naive insistence that the EU would bend to UK demands and grant it all sorts of privileges not enjoyed by others. So, the roughly 8 per cent of GDP loss in UK output since the Brexit decision in 2016 is easily explained by three perfectly predictable factors: it was a bad economic decision; it has split UK society politically; and the EU27 has moved on. It's time for those who led the UK down this disastrous path to stand up and acknowledge their wrong analysis and naive understanding of Europe. Until that happens, how can one even hope that the UK will begin to heal?

Britain is becoming far right - and Elon Musk is to blame The new political culture -fuelled by X, Trump and Farage - is making us vicious, irrational and unkind 25th December 2025 7:56 am Verified pro-Nazi accounts flourish on Elon Musk's platform; Nigel Farage became the local broadcasting unit of the populist worldview This is the state of play in Britain at the close of 2025. The Prime Minister communicates daily on a website whose owner promotes race war on the streets of the country he governs. Mainstream newspapers spent the summer salivating with excitement at the prospect of anti-refugee riots. Frontbenchers in Parliament express their horror when they don't see "another white face" in a town. With X defining the national conversation from San Francisco, Trump making daily global news from Washington and Farage promoting the same narrative in the UK, a right-wing conveyor belt has developed. Socially liberal ideas are barely ever expressed. They have become unsayable, a symptom of an unfashionable "woke" worldview. But regressive ideas are widely promoted and subject to ever more extreme expression. This is the core story of 2025: the far-right takeover of British political discourse. On a day-to-day basis we barely notice it. But when you step back, and see the extent to which our national conversation has degraded, it becomes shocking how quickly a country can lose sight of its better nature.
