UKs already losing an estimated £100bn annually in GDP as a result of Brexit, equivalent to c.£40bn in taxes into the exchequer every year

Instead of making the argument to reverse this catastrophe, the Labour govt is cutting welfare for the old & the disabled, & reducing funds for public services
John Caudwell, "Trump calls it liberation day, I call it doomsday"

"Without doubt America is going to head towards recession"

"Prices increase, inflation through the roof"

"How will anyone ever trust America again?"

10% tariff = 0.3% hit to GDP
Brexit = 5% hit to GDP
The UK's mess is huge

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.

It’s not. He wasn’t.

And we got Boris Johnson instead.

A woman who lives in Dubai & never actually watches the BBC tells us who should be its next Director General.😳
She then tells us who should be chief of an NHS she never uses. Not only that, she comments about Govt. departments that don’t actually govern her!

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.

Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.

Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

What kind of board member? One, according to former BBC presenter Emily Maitlis, who was an "active agent of the Conservative party" who played a significant role in determining the nature of the corporation's news output. That's who.

You may have seen that BBC News online’s Middle East editor is taking legal action against me over my work on the BBC’s editorial approach to Israel/Palestine.

I strongly disagree with his claims, and, if necessary, I look forward to vigorously defending my reporting in court.
