"EU Finance Ministers have agreed to our proposal to remove the customs exemption for low-value parcels coming into the EU." Von der Leyen
This surely also affects UK businesses and private individuals sending low-value items/parcels to the EU.
It must be another Brexit benefit!

The Chancellor's worrying about how her budget will be viewed by the "Bond Markets" (co-creators of the 2008 financial crash scandal) is a bit like worrying what Trump thinks about the BBC's standards of truthfulness, or Jimmy Savile's opinions about child protection.

This BBC News matter
is not about impartiality.
It's a plot to inject right-wing bias into the BBC to make it more like GB and Fox so-called "News".
Will the UK government defend the BBC against Trump and the Faragists?
That would take some political courage, so don't bet on it.

If Brexit is the reason for Rachel Reeves' tax rises and attacks on pensions, she can fix it by applying to #RejoinEU rather than continuing the #Brexit carnage. I will not support Labour a second time, even if it means handing Britain to NF.

Labour’s new deputy leader says party must pay more heed to its members
Exclusive: Lucy Powell, who was sacked as Commons leader by Starmer in September, says government should stop trying to ‘out-Reform Reform’
Labour’s new deputy leader, Lucy Powell, has said the government must listen to its members instead of being guided by a “narrow group of voices” as it battles to stave off electoral disaster in next May’s local elections.
Powell defeated the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, in the deputy leadership contest, which concluded on Saturday. She said she had been given “a clear mandate that members want their voice to be heard at the top of the party”. Continue reading...

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?
