John Major:

“Who are the gainers from having left? I don’t hear the Brexiteers talking much about Brexit these days because they know in their heart that it has failed to deliver what they promised… The losers are every wallet, every purse and every balance sheet in the country.”

After 10 years, even a former Tory PM is saying what the data shows: Brexit failed.

Survation's largest-ever Brexit poll finds 63% would vote to rejoin the EU - a 30-point swing from the 2016 result

As a wildfire burns in Derbyshire, Richard Stupid Tice confirms it is just weather. But definitely not because Reform have received £24 million from people with fossil fuel interests since 2019.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Sir John Major, "Brexit has been very damaging"

"Most people think of the economic damage, but that's only part of the argument"

"It has as a country made us weaker, more isolated"

"Before Brexit we were the principle ally of the US, that's debatable now"

"We were also a leading member of the European Union that had 500 million people"

"Both of those have gone'

"We're now 70 million in a world of 9.5 billion"

"And we have considerably less clout, and friendship in times of difficulty, than we had before"

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Richard Stupid Tice gone quiet for a few days I suspect.

The story of social media’s problem with news, in two posts

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I can’t understand why people say there are no tangible Brexit benefits.
I’d say five million quid was pretty tangible. 😀

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Never forget how you were lied to over Brexit.

[The Away Fans @theawayfans]

Just going to leave this here.

Whatever people thought of the football, the record speaks for itself.

PBS, "Benson farmed shellfish popular in Spain and France generating $4 million a year. But after Brexit the enterprise collapsed"

Rob Benson, "I actually voted to leave, but obviously we were never told the truth about what the consequences were going to be"

"Now it's too late"

[Chris Giles @ChrisGiles_]

I struggle to understand the fascination with mainstream economists' (broadly accurate) Brexit forecasts...

... the leave forecasts on the other hand

Thank f**k for that😂

I can see Nigel Farage with a shock resignation announcement in the very near future. He will attempt to dress is up as 'job done' in relation to getting Starmer out, but it'll all be about the £5 million bung and the very serious consequences he knows he is facing.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Carney: This is a real referendum. It's not, you know, a question about a question, free option. It's a dangerous bluff. We're literally at 10 years anniversary of Brexit ... and you see what's happened in the United Kingdom. It's very reminiscent.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Superb from @ChrisGiles_
So-called "economists for Brexit" said we'd grow at 3%pa post Brexit.
Sadly, "mainstream" economics was dead right on long term effects of making trade with our biggest, richest and nearest trading partner more expensive. We are much poorer as a result

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.

The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.

There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️

It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!

At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.

He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.

Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

[Gina Miller @thatginamiller]

The disregard and offensiveness to Jo Cox's and David Ames's families - and the gravity of lies from Nigel Farage in this interview - including his tone, sounds like a man being found out for his lack of principles, morality and inability to tell the truth

@BBCBreakfast

[Alex Taylor @AlexTaylorNews]

"Brexit saved lives" Here he goes YET AGAIN with the same unchallenged lie

For the vaccine period 2020-21, the UK's COVID death rate per pop was consistently higher than comparable Western EU countries

He gets away with it as no UK journalist ever calls him out on the FACTS

[Sam @SamCKx]

For those who doubt it, this is the timeline of corruption:

Late May 2024: Christopher Harborne secretly transfers £5 million to Nigel Farage.

3 June 2024: Days after the transfer, Farage announces he will stand for Parliament.

4 July 2024: Farage is elected MP for Clacton.

29 May 2025: Farage announces that Reform UK will become the first British political party to accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

29 May 2025: Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Farage unveils plans for a Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill, including reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, creating a Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and preventing banks from debanking crypto users.

September 2025: Farage publicly namechecks Tether and Bitfinex, companies in which Christopher Harborne is a major shareholder, and says he is going to the Bank of England to argue against restrictions on crypto and against the proposed digital pound.

13 October 2025: At the Digital Asset Summit in London, Farage says he wants to “bring crypto in from the cold” and immediately halt work on a UK central bank digital currency (“Britcoin”).

25 October 2025: At the Zebu Live crypto conference in London, Farage positions himself as a political champion of the crypto industry and repeats calls for lower crypto taxation and wider adoption.

3 November 2025: In a speech in the City of London, Farage again calls for crypto deregulation and for the UK to become a global crypto hub.

If it could be proven that the £5 million secret payment influenced Farage’s actions as a sitting MP, that raises extremely serious questions. Potential issues could include parliamentary standards breaches, tax issues, bribery or corruption offences. Under the Bribery Act 2010, the most serious bribery offences carry a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.

Alistair Campbell after the 2016 Brexit referendum,

"Just shocked that we've made such a catastrophically stupid decision. And the world is looking on thinking: didn't you used to be a serious country?"

"I also think there's a lot of buyers remorse"

"On my way here.. A woman said she felt bad for voting leave. I asked: why did you do that then?"

"And she said: I didn't realise that if you voted leave you'd have to leave"

"And you think: oh my god"

"All these people who fell for these lies"

"It's a catastrophe and we're only at the beginning of the consequences playing out"
