IMPORTANT:

ETA and ETIAS only apply because we're no longer in the EU.

If we were an EU member, neither UK citizens nor EU citizens would need to worry about either.

Thanks, Brexit!

Boom.
Is the IQ of Tories declining rapidly? Only an idiot like Kruger (Tory) would ask a question where the answer is total Tory annihilation. #ukpolitics

Trump and his pals must be making a mint on all the resulting market turmoil.
I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian cash. Now they expect us to believe they despise Putin? They lined their pockets with Kremlin-linked money while preaching about national security. The Tories would sell Britain to the highest bidder and still act like patriots. #ukpolitics

The one on the left looks related to Widdicombe.
If I saw these two in the street and was asked if they’re Reform councillors.. I’d just know they are from looking at them❗️

No rosettes necessary..🤷🏼‍♂️

2% must have joint UK and European passports!
We are told:
“44% refuse to identify themselves as Europeans.”

And later we learn:

“56% of respondents indicated identifying with being European, 28% were noncommittal, and 14% indicated not identifying with being European”

That’s not the same thing (and doesn’t add up to 100%)

2m more UK pensioners will pay income tax due to frozen thresholds.

Tory Govt froze personal allowance at £12,570 in 2021. Labour continued. This is tax hike in real terms

To help poor, Govt must abolish VAT on domestic fuel, cut std rate of VAT, inflation-proof personal allowance

The Rusults: Brexit has failed, We feel worse off since leaving, We should have a referendum on Re-joining the EU. #RejoinEU

Not all Retirees voted for the toxic Brexit
Five years on from Brexit, what are the lasting effects? Did older voters make a choice that all generations are now stuck with? And can the UK ever reverse course?
