I do find that the reader submissions to newspapers often hold gems in them - like this in The Scotsman earlier this week.

Well said Doug Clark from Edinburgh. Well said.

For we are the people of England, that never have spoken yet."

My thoughts on the Henry Nowak case and how British institutions have become so captured.

I spoke last week to the Kompass-Kongress in Zürich, Switzerland, about the risks inherent in closer integration with the EU and the similarities between the UK and Swiss situations.

I gave my talk in German, but an English translation is available at the link (next post).

Today, Baroness Stedman-Scott, responded to the Government’s statement on the long awaited EHRC Code of Practice calling for the Government to come clean on the changes it requested from the EHRC and commit to correcting errors in the Code.

A few weeks ago, @ChrisMasonBBC very kindly mentioned my new book, Ten Years On, on the BBC’s Newscast podcast. He also wrote some very kind words about the book, which appear on its front cover.

As we prepare for the 10th anniversary of the EU referendum, and with the UK’s relationship with the EU back in the headlines, do pre-order your own copy of Ten Years On through Amazon or via @BitebackPub. Out 23rd June.

Government is borrowing £2,200 per person per year and spending £1,600 per person on debt interest payments.
We have to stop spending and borrowing so much.

No idea how he found the strength to communicate like this. Dignified and objective while utterly damming.

Henry Nowak’s case is worse than you think - 60 of the 67 minutes which he spent dying in the street were in the custody of police officers. They broke basic rules of policing and PACE, denying him basic first aid and compassion because they falsely believed he was a racist.

@LBC Oh look. Imagine my shock.

Two-tier outrage.

And when it comes to trade, the value of the UK’s total exports of goods and services is up a combined 45.2pc since mid-2016 – again outstripping France, Italy and Germany.

Yes, our trade is pivoting away from Western Europe and towards the rest of the world, and rightly so. This is partly because Brexit allowed us to sign trade deals not just with Australia and New Zealand, but also India, the Gulf States and, most significantly, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) bloc – giving our goods and services preferential access to the fast-growing region on earth.

When we joined the then European Economic Community in 1973, the nine member states accounted for 35pc of the global economy. The 27-nation EU now generates just 15pc of world GDP – a share set to drop below 10pc by 2040.

And yet the massed ranks of Whitehall Remainers have learned nothing.

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) continues to cite the ubiquitous “fact” that Brexit has caused a 4pc reduction in UK GDP.

This estimate was never the result of in-house modelling – merely the watchdog’s collation of various external pre-Brexit forecasts, mostly from Remain-backing organisations.

Since the 2016 referendum, the UK has actually grown by 12.9pc in total, outpacing 12.5pc in France, 10.3pc in Italy and 6.3pc in Germany – all of which were in the EU last time I checked.
