Gentle reminder that the European Union was established because the first four decades of our 20th century were mostly internecine war and genocide.

UK will surely rejoin customer union/single market in some form - and the whole Brexit thing will just have been throwing away special status in the EU, massively damaging their own economy - and inflicting a big dumb waste of everybody's time.
This is wake-up call for Labour MPs. 👋
Vote for our EU customs union bill on Tuesday so we can start to undo the damage done by Brexit.

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.
