Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

When Brexiters and right wing media, like The Times, drone on about the importance of a trade deal with Trump and how Brexit gives us an advantage over the EU (hahaha), just remember that context matters. Which is why they always dodge that part.

Brexit has never looked quite so ruinously insane as it does right now. And it’s always been idiotic. Alone, outside the EU, needing to improve our relationship with our own continent but also terrified of the wrecking-ball lunatic in the White House. Cornered by our own ‘sovereign’ stupidity.

Remember when the Brexiteers told us we didn’t need a relationship with our 27 nearest neighbours, because of our special relationship with the USA?

We are back to courting the xenophobes with our 'red lines' The UK government is sounding like a broken record, stuck in the same old groove.
I had high expectations of YC because she seemed competent and on her brief. Maybe that was because compared to the Tory opposite she was. Labour utterly disappointing and travelling away from the country as they continue to court the xenophobes.
