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
