🇬🇧 Stagnant Economy, living standards worse, SMEs struggling.
Isn’t it time we consider the Brexit we’ve got?
Isn’t it time someone was bold enough to talk about Brexit?
Single Market and Customs Union anyone?
Could improve our economic situation…

I wrote on Starmer’s “smash the gangs” slogan & the danger for Labour of learning the wrong lessons from Trump’s victory.
“voters reached the obvious conclusion. If the border had to be sealed, & more spent on smashing smuggling gangs – Trump would do it better.”

People smugglers aren’t terrorists, and “smashing the gangs” won’t work
On immigration, Labour seems poised to learn the wrong lessons from Trump’s victory - and make the far right more likely to win in the UK, too. But there's a different path.

Fading from Gray: Keir Starmer’s ruthlessness has been rewarded - Politics.co.uk
With the budget passed and (counter-intuitively) a new Conservative leader elected, Labour finally has reasons to be cheerful.

Wasn’t it only a week ago that he said Trump would be better for the world?
Boris Johnson, "I am convinced it would be a disaster for the world if Ukraine was to go down, and I think there a genuine risk that President Trump will do a deal that is not in the interest of freedom and democracy"

Nigel Farage, "Maybe mend some fences between this government and the incoming presidency of Donald Trump"
Keir Starmer, "I'm glad to see him make a rare appearance back here in Britain. He's spent so much time in America recently, I half expected to see him on the immigration statistics"

On a day dedicated to honouring the ultimate sacrifice of the selfless, it's pretty amazing to find a way of somehow making it all about you and your confected grievances. Like someone having a tantrum at a funeral for not being invited to sing a solo at the service. ~AA
