Those undermining Starmer’s efforts to establish a closer relationship & who voted Remain in 2016, still appear clueless about the EU & how it actually functions beyond the obvious membership benefits & granting the UK its occasional opt outs

I read somewhere about 100k tonnes however further north salt being rarely used because of winter temps -12c & below
Göteborg has been a nightmare in the past 😐 regularly running out of grit mid-winter 🤷♂️

Of course there's always a downside
Salt on dark winter roads will inevitably lead to increases in roadkill
Although we may see fewer broken windscreens, the remnants of those newly smashed are more likely to include blood spattered remains of humans mixed with the torsos of top-heavy Elk 😕

Sweden has never used salt on winter roads, only grit which has kept the windscreen replacement businesses in clover since windscreens were the best thing since meatballs & gravy
Not everyone will be delighted, but hopefully the annual springtime parade of cracked glass will soon dwindle to a close

I’m old enough to remember when Johnson & his #brexit chums decried loudly how EU “extraterritorial powers” were undermining the UK
Apparently caving into Trump’s extraterritorial missives & threats are perfectly acceptable instead

No less of a snub had Farage performed his Remembrance Day stunt in Clacton
But perhaps now the locals might begin to understand what a hypocrite they’ve elected

Poor Michael Prescott is shocked, but clearly not enough to overlook the amount of BBC airtime given over to Farage & his #refuk mates

Just one “common understanding” with the EU is the introduction of a youth mobility scheme on which the UK hasn’t budged
Instead, we see demands for an SPS agreement, special access to Erasmus, special access to EU security procurement processes etc with barely a hint of a quid pro quo 🤷♂️

Farage & his #refuk gang are incapable of taking responsibility for anything as we’re seeing live in Kent CC & every other LA where enough voters have been gulled into electing snake oil merchants
Yet, we’re STILL hearing how a fawning admirer of Trump & Putin is within a whisker of becoming PM 🤔

Seriously since when has there been a common understanding between the UK & EU?
SPS is an area which is badly needed yet we’re still squabbling
SAFE isn’t just about buying armaments but also long term investment in European security with secure trusted partner buy-in, not their BOGOF sales pitch
