They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

I have a genuine question for people with businesses in the US - how are you coping with the day by day changes in tariffs? TBH I can't keep up with what rate is imposed on which country, but I don't have a business that imports anything. It must be near impossible to plan.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Contrary to the view of JD Vance etc al, we do have freedom of speech in the UK. This woman can say what she likes, but she can't intimidate women seeking medical care.

If you get past the worry of your plane crashing at the airport due to shortage of air traffic controllers, the USA have added additional jeopardy - avoiding detention by ICE in spite of having a visa waiver and a return ticket. Be prepared for your tourist industry to tank.
