They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.
It would make them tens of billions a year.
But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

I wouldn't consider a visit to the US while the current administration is in place. As I run a hospitality business, I do feel for those small non-MAGA businesses that will go under over the next 4 years because of the hostility of this government.

I have a genuine question for people with businesses in the US - how are you coping with the day by day changes in tariffs? TBH I can't keep up with what rate is imposed on which country, but I don't have a business that imports anything. It must be near impossible to plan.

This has shades of DOGE. No one really knows what contribution staff are making until they are no longer doing what they do. Sacking everyone would be a total disaster and hopefully people will see this and vote for someone else.

Yes we have eggs, and a dozen free range medium eggs are around £2.70 (at my local supermarket) which is $3.60, well worth the cost of flinging them at Trump!

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Contrary to the view of JD Vance etc al, we do have freedom of speech in the UK. This woman can say what she likes, but she can't intimidate women seeking medical care.

It makes me sad that we feel we have to avoid visiting the US as it is a beautiful country. I work in hospitality in the UK and know what an impact any reduction in visitors will have on jobs and local economies.
