Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road.
No one’s held to account.
No one’s fallen on their sword.
No one’s got the guts to really speak out.
So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.
"The 2016 decision to exit the European Union has been nothing short of an economic disaster... It’s a bigger hit than if every bank, brokerage firm and hedge fund in London were suddenly to disappear." ~AA
👏🏽"The President and the Brexiteers share a fear of strangers... Trade, in [Trump's] view, is other countries draining our wallets. Immigration is other people stealing our jobs. International treaties are handcuffs limiting sovereignty." 🎯~AA

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

I see that the chancellor did not adopt my suggestion to impose a Brexit tax of £5,000 p.a. on everyone who voted to leave the EU, which would almost compensate for the annual cost of Brexit to the UK economy.

Not only does Facebook and Instagram inject fear and doubt into your children's minds, they also make millions from fraudulent scam advertising

Scam ads on Meta in UK likely worth more than all online news advertising

My daughter just called. No reason. Just to tell me she was having a lovely day. When there is so much bad in the world I can’t express how wonderful it is to know that someone you love is having a nice day. If you’re having a good one don’t forget to let people know 😃

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When the main news story on BBC NEWS is the BBC. you know there’s a problem. For far too long it’s been bent by political appointments and that has to stop now. We need our national broadcaster to be independent and apolitical. Managerial appointments must be free from politics or else it’s dead.

She is telling an accurate story of recent history - the triple punch of austerity, Brexit and covid. It's spot on. But it is terribly strange to say it now in government when you were not prepared to say it in opposition.
