Another outcome for which the Kremlin worked, lest we forget. Described in "Road to Unfreedom."
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The Sun had long since ceased to be a newspaper. But #newsnight and #r4today taking their cue from tabloid hacks, hosting self-appointed ‘experts’ from research institutes’ backed by shady money seem to have abandoned #bbc journalism too.
Irony is dead
Sun journalist on the BBC's flagship #Newsnight says Labour's budget is wilfully misleading, outright lying, and that we want honesty from politicians

Since the government sold its remaining stake in NatWest six months ago, shareholders have done well: the share price is near a record high, up 15% since full privatisation, and the bank posted £5.8bn in pre-tax profits for the first three quarters of 2025. But workers are faring less well.

Oligarchs owning newspapers and football clubs, sitting in the House of Lords, PM partying with KGB in Italy, bribes for questions in parliament, paying for Brexit, lots of well heeled Russian stooges have welcomed it all
People have causes they care about. That's fine. To me, this petition is the most important UK one of all because it concerns 10+ years of sickeningly successful Russian interference in politics, law, media, the private sector, fiance, and even British society as a whole. So much we care about.

I’m sorry for the National Guards who are only following orders.
Objectively, had the President not called them to serve as law enforcement officers, this tragedy would never have happened.
They seek to demagogue their way out of their own culpability.
