Oh well, Dyson… you reap what you sow…
You wanted Brexit which has cost us all thousands and right royally screwed the country, bankrupted many small businesses and catapulted us back to queues, red tape and prejudiced isolation.
I don’t think many of us give a flying fuck about your ‘hardship’.

Some people do my head in.
This arse is one of them.
Why TF would we care about his business…? Did he care about all the SMEs bankrupted by Brexit? Does he feel any anxiety or shame about just how much that stupid idea has cost our country and many of us personally.
No.
He can absolutely do one.

A spokesperson for the PM said: "We all have been very open about the need to reset our relationship with the EU, and strengthen [it] while sticking to our red lines for the long term."
So not committed to strengthening the relationship much at all then.

Scientists are pleased. Researchers are pleased. Presumably the students, apprentices and other annual beneficiaries will be pleased. So why do the Mail and the Telegraph hate young people and education so much?

Some occasionally advise a less forthright, more conciliatory tone on social media but then the Daily Mail, chief agent of the mess it now condemns, prints hypocritical rubbish like this and you wonder what good that would do.

Yeah, except it comes alongside renewed confirmation that Labour will make no attempt to join a customs union (and forget the single market), so it’s not really turning the clock back on Brexit at all.

How about a 4th suggestion @stellacreasy.bsky.social? Just because rejoining the EU isn’t solely up to us and will take time isn’t a reason not to start making make the case now so Labour can remove its red lines later. Delaying treatment doesn’t cure the illness.

If Britain is broken, key figures now in Reform helped break it. A Labour government would ordinarily be exploiting the vandalism of hard Brexit which Farage supported and still does but it can’t because, thanks to its 2024 manifesto pledge, it too is now wedded to this folly.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.
