The Dublin Agreement was a huge deterrent. People knew if they arrived in UK & had claimed elsewhere, approved or denied, they would immediately be returned. Now that data sharing is no longer an automatic right. The UK lost access to several shared mechanisms when it left the EU

This is what’s known as dodgy as fuck…
Farage is in hock to murky foreign billionaires, taking their money to prioritise their interests if they buy him power. He’s exploiting people’s racism and anger to pretend he’s on their side. But he’s already sold them out.

Churchwarden linked to foreign-born billionaire is behind £200k Reform gift
The man whose firm made the donations will not discuss where the money came from, nor his ties to wealthy Farage allies who may not hold citizenship

YES, the EU regulates.
But, regulation isn’t just paperwork, it’s what quietly makes everyday life across Europe simpler, fairer and more sustainable. 🇪🇺
Better with EU!

Great news. It’s just a shame that Brexit means the U.K. won’t benefit from this.
Europe and India are making history today.
We have concluded the mother of all deals.
We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.
This is only the beginning.
We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

There is no amount of appeasement that could satisfy the current US admin. The US will continue to interfere in UK elections until it gets a Reform UK Government, which would turn the UK into a US protectorate colony.
We all know this to be true and is clearly the end goal of Reform UK.

As I (and thousands of other people) predicted, Labour's non-deal with the USA wasn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.
Starmer set Britain up to be Trump's chew toy.
Absolutely catastrophic to have traded our EU membership for this turbocharged farce.

Here's the unvarnished reality of yesterday's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA: Labour caved in. Folded. Blew it.
To avoid Trump's tariffs, they have committed the NHS to paying very significantly more for new drugs ie all the lifesaving medicines of the future.
