The dead hand of Farage is all over Brexit and it’s made us all poorer. The idea that he should now be cast as the saviour of an economy he damaged is ridiculous and only fools would let him have a second chance to finish the job.

Brexit made the Britons and the Europeans poorer, and weaker in a world of Trump, Putin & Xi. So why isn't there a concerted push to make amends? I look into this for today's "Morning Post Europe", with very helpful insights of @sbeverts.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/europemo...

This is an underestimate.

Imagine the increase in productivity locally and internationally they would be gained from Single Market membership both directly but also from sane and reasonable people no longer being obsessed with the unbearable shiteness of Brexit.
📉 Based on the UK’s pre-referendum investment level of about £230 billion a year, the cumulative loss of investment by this year could be between £275 billion and £400 billion.

Starmer and Reeves have a 10 yr plan. I like their plan. I don’t expect it to materialise in 16 months. And I don’t expect it to be without its challenges. I also accept external factors will play a part. That’s why it’s a 10 year plan.

So long as Labour hold firm on Brexit, all their bleating about having been dealt an atrocious hand by the Tories is so much hot air.

Support for "Make Brexit Works" holes that argument below the waterline.

It is ludicrous to be contemplating tax rises, but not trying to undo Brexit.

The Telegraph sides with Trump against the BBC and, so, the country.

Private Eye sums up its feeble-minded, fawning betrayal beautifully.

Wow👇🏼👇🏼😱 It’s saying something when Epstein said Trump is the worst person he’d ever met, “not one decent cell in his body.. so yes dangerous”

You watch how fast Farage pivots from vigorous defence of his good “friend” Trump to righteous condemnation if it becomes clear he’s toast❗️
"I have met some very bad people....none as bad as trump.

Not one decent cell in his body..so yes - dangerous."

Donald Trump is coming for the BBC and for your wallets.

I urged the Prime Minister to stand up for the 23.8 million licence fee paying households, and tell Trump he won't get a penny.

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board.

Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.

In case you'd been wondering why Trump rolls over for Putin at every turn:
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.
