BBC News sum up gains for the UK

£2 billion - CPTPP
£5 billion - India
£9 billion - EU

However, keeping the UK outside an UK-EU Customs Union, and access to the EU Single Market costs us £140 billion a year

So yes, £9 billion is great, but nowhere near the £140 billion we have lost due to Brexit

@lancashiredons.bsky.social dunno if anyone in the group is in south Manchester but I’m trying to get The Salmon of Knowledge Didsbury to show the game. Be good to see some fellow Dandies if anyone’s in the area for the game tomorrow. #coyr

Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

It’s 2025 so please can people stop saying the following -

- Brexit was the ‘will of the people’ (it was the will of 52% of those who voted in 2016).

- what about misandry? (In convos about misogyny)

- U.K. shouldn’t do anything about climate change until China does.

Bore off back to 2017.

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Tell Keir Starmer to bring in a wealth tax to fund public spending, rather than punish the poorest people in the world

Prime Minister: Don’t Cut Aid, Tax Wealth
The prime minister has announced a brutal 40% cut to the UK aid budget, in the wake of Donald Trump’s calls for increased military spending. It's a wrong-headed move that represents a retreat from

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

Brexit is a failure because there's no way to increase trade by putting barriers to trade. End the madness

Trump and Musk don't need to be exposed, they are showing you who they are and destroying you in real time with the whole world watching. There is nothing to expose, you just need to open your eyes and respond.
