If the stakes weren’t so high, the contortions & humiliations of all the people who cheered this in & sneered about ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ etc would be absolutely hilarious.

Of all the daft 'opinions' that Brexiters could never explain or justify, opposition to a mooted European army was among the stupidest. Inevitably, Farage the Putin fanboy was the loudest heckler.

The scandal of vapes gets worse bit.ly/3ZEGhcV at some point in 2026 the Circular Economy Minister (yes there really is one) will get some powers to make foreign importers pay something towards recycling them. That’s 800million unrecycled vapes from now.

“We must leave the EU to control our borders and stop mass immigration,” they said.
And it was the same people who said that who were then in government.

“Handing vital infrastructure to private investment companies will generate windfalls for investors and leave the rest of us worse off. We need a better plan.”
