Fucking hell.
Farage has absolutely no idea what he's going on about.
Find me a small business owner who wants even further regulatory diversion & I'll find you 100,000 that desperately need alignment in order to trade.
Even better, join the SM/CU & all of the red tape is gone.

Well, Farage is 100% right, of course. Any small business owner who thought Brexit would cut regulation or bureacracy has been betrayed. What he omits to say (I can't imagine why?) is that the one who betrayed them was Farage.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

YouTube Deletes Hundreds Of Videos Documenting Israeli War Crimes - PopularResistance.Org
YouTube, owned by Google LLC, has deleted more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations, citing compliance with US sanctions imposed on Palestinian human rights groups cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to an investigation by The Intercept published on 5 November. The investigation revealed that the videos were removed after US President Donald Trump's administration sanctioned three Palestinian organizations over their work with the ICC on war crimes cases against Israeli leaders.
