Reform is racist.
Let’s just say it.
Loudly and often.
They’re racist.
Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense.
They don’t care.
They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out.
They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy.

Nigel Farage says a migrant deal with Macron is wrong because “this is Brexit Britain—we voted to take back control, not to accept a deal from a French president.”
But here’s the thing:

This Jenrick chap sounds reasonable I wonder what happened to him.
An accurate observation by Robert Jenrick in March 2023. Negotiate on routes for returns. If could expand the principle and the deal to the *certainty* of return, not the 5-10% risk of returns, for those outside the scheme then controlled & capped route should help to smash smugglet business model

Farage is a product of the British media and Russian rubles. He doesn't care about practical politics. He's just a grifter, an agitator who makes a fortune out of division. The media pushes him so much because they still believe that stirring up conflict is more entertaining than finding solutions.

If Labour weren't such total cowards about Brexit, they could have diffused the row over immigration by pointing, again and again and again, at the graph that shows immigration skyrocketed immediately after the transition period ended.

Here's the Nobel prize-winning economist Esther Duflo destroying the claim that foreign workers reduce domestic wages. In fact, they actually help UK workers by adding to the talent base and allowing the economy to grow. Getting rid of them just leads to more automation.

The UK-India FTA & reactions to it pretty perfectly sum up the incoherence & dishonesty of Brexit as a trade/economic policy. Objectively, it's trivial compared with the cost of Brexit. Symbolically, it's claimed by different groups of Brexiters as both a justification and a betrayal of Brexit. 1/4

Britain and India have agreed a long-desired trade deal that ministers said would add £4.8bn to the UK economy a year by 2040.
The agreement, which was finalised on Tuesday after more than three years of negotiations under successive governments, has long been touted as one of the biggest prizes of Brexit. Continue reading...

If the UK had still been part of the EU then...
A) The EU tariff would have been 16%-17% not 20% based on Trump's formula
B) The UK would also have been subject to that 16%-17% tariff but crucially our trade would have remained MUCH higher (Brexit has hurt us much more than the tariff difference!)
