A sold-out SCG crowd roared as Ahmed al-Ahmed, his arm in sling and his hand on his heart, walked onto the pitch just before play began of the final Test of the Ashes series. Great Gesture ❤️ #Ashes#BondiBeach
🔥 Brexit didn’t crash the British economy. It did something worse.
The Economist says Brexit acts like a toxin in the bloodstream of the UK economy 👉binding itself to our long-standing weaknesses and dulling our real strengths.
It’s locked in high energy costs, weak investment or short-termism
After the Brexit vote:
• Business investment flatlined for six years
• Manufacturing exports fell sharply
• Services exports are 4–5% lower than they would have been
• Trade “wins” turned out to be trivial
• Regulatory freedom delivered paperwork, not growth
Brexit has become a permanent drag, keeping us stuck on a low-growth path while politicians argue about numbers instead of reality.
And that’s why “Brexit is done” is such a dangerous lie.
It isn’t done for the economy.
It isn’t done for trade.
It isn’t done for people whose lives and livelihoods were built on EU rights.
The damage didn’t end in 2020.
It’s still unfolding.

@rob9356@BBCr4today Could not agree more ! She had one priority the Conservative Party , May shows that just because you have no charisma does not mean you are thoughtful and astute , Windrush was also hers
@DavidGauke Why are there still Tory voters ?! Mad that old people still read the daily mail and believe their crap about sound government and support the nation
@lukerobertblack@TomTugendhat@marcolonghi4dn I despise the Tories , 14 years of failure will be hard to undo, too many of them are toffs born with a silver spoon in their mouth with an inbred arrogance that they know best and were born to rule
@DavidGauke@ConHome We can only hope the Conservative Party walks into the sea and is never seen again , the untold and told damage of Cameron, May and Johnson should never be forgiven or forgotten
@IrishPatri0t The worst PM of all, party before country , disastrous handling of Brexit negotiations, windrush and Grenfell , no charisma , just because you are boring does not mean you are studious and effectual either
I hope @ChrisMasonBBC and others read this thread…the selective framing of a budget argument is common and not the same as uniquely lying to win an argument.
