So, it turns out that the much haunted UK-US trade deal is a bust.
The US is demanding the UK cut the digital services tax, as well as online protections and food standards.
The UK public opposes these demands.

That’s why
France/Germany are outperforming 🇬🇧
👉growth is weaker
👉wages are under pressure
Brexit used sovereignty as bait to deliver self-harm which benefits Russian 🇷🇺 aggression.

Erasmus+ offers young people the chance to develop skills, build confidence and engage with other cultures. The UK can regain these benefits by rejoining the programme as a full member, as six non-EU countries already do.

The fact Trump has made US an adversary of Europe makes it more urgent to start reversing Brexit - especially for UK but also for EU. But can only happen if UK recognises the truth of where it stands and that the reset, customs union, etc. = marginal improvements but no more.

The EU isn’t the solution to all the UK’s ills, most of which are self inflicted; but Brexit was never the answer either. Instead , it made everything worse, and weakened us domestically and internationally. Stop pretending we can make Brexit work.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
