"We must all now confront the reality, that the Brexit deal we have significantly hurt our economy. So the country needs to be grown-up about the fact that we must be closer to the EU in order to reduce trade friction” Says Starmer today. But you don’t reduce the damage by tinkering round the edges!

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Weird how the Tories think it's awful if the Chancellor misled the House, when they didn't give a toss all through the Brexit years.

Brexit costs the government around £90bn.
Without Brexit we could have tax cuts and spending increases. We would have hope & optimism, not gloom & despair.
Brexit harms the British people, especially the poor & vulnerable. No politician can support Brexit and claim to care for ordinary people.

Brexit and Donald Trump, I’m not sure Putin could have asked for a better result in damaging the west if he’d tried, except he did try, and he succeeded, and stupidity has reigned ever since.
All it took was an army of bots and a couple of gullible nations with a penchant for being awful.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

UK had been pushing to join €150bn Safe fund, a loan scheme that is part of bloc’s drive to rearm Europe
Keir Starmer’s bid to reset relations with the EU suffered a major blow on Friday, after negotiations for the UK to join the EU’s flagship €150bn (£131bn) defence fund collapsed.
The UK had been pushing to join the EU’s Security Action for Europe (Safe) fund, a low-interest loan scheme that is part of the EU’s drive to boost defence spending by €800bn and rearm the continent, in response to the growing threat from Russia and cooling relations between Donald Trump’s US and the EU.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

Today the Government had the opportunity to end the cost of living crisis, get Britain growing again and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole - by fixing our trade with Europe.
