New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:

- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700

- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.

Rachel Reeves budget options could have been very different!

New info shows that Nathan Gill (the Reform Leader in Wales convicted of taking Russian bribes) was joined by 2 of his fellow UKIP MEP colleagues on a paid trip to Russia.
They then repeated his pro-Russia talking points in Parliament.

Even if everything Michelle Mone had done was legal, it would still be sickening that that she chose to exploit the pandemic to make vast profits out of other people's misery, while so many were dying and countless care workers were risking their lives to help others

Former Tory peer Michelle Mone has called today’s ruling that PPE Medpro must give the taxpayer back £122m for supplying dodgy PPE an ‘establishment cover-up’. Utter nonsense.

Let’s ignore the rhetoric & look at the facts 👇

Keir Starmer points out that before we left the EU, we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. Brexit means that “These are Farage boats, in many senses, that are coming across the channel.”

Farage a ‘Poor’ man’s Trump. Both despicable
Farage is a fully paid up Trump-groupie. He’s campaigned for him. Worn his cap. And models Reform policies on Trump’s anti-minority authoritarianism, fossil fuel fandom and dangerous anti-science quackery.
He pretends to be on the saner side of the line. He isn’t.
Vote for angry prejudice.
Get chaos
When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen.

It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

There's some rewriting of history going on today where people are saying: oh, Labour is struggling with the economy too, maybe it wasn't all the Tories' mismanagement...?

The answer is that it's Brexit.

It's Brexit!

You can't fix the economy until you confront Brexit!

Trump advisers are already telling the UK to "ditch" the EU or face trade tariffs from the US.

Let's do the opposite: dump Trump and get back into the EU.

US tariffs will only hurt the Trump government as long as Europe stands together.
