🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”
Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire 👏
Al Pinkerton, "A bill to enter negotiations with the European Union to agree a customs union between the UK and the EU"
"Businesses know it. The public feel it. It's time this house admits it"
"Brexit has been an abject economic failure"
"It's choked business investment, shattered economic resilience, strangled trade, shrunk the economy, and left every single one of us poorer"
"The economic benefits of Brexit were only ever an illusory mirage"
"The kind of shimmering promise you see in the desert in the midday heat"
"The kind of shimmering promise that lures you towards it, only to find it always, agonisingly, out of reach. A promise that dissipates all together as the cool of the evening returns"
"Well that chill has decsended"
"Now we can see clearly that the promises of 2016 and the oven ready deal of 2021 were nothing more than the luke warm figments of political opportunists"
"Who sought, and in some cases still seek, advantage in populism, in fragmentation, and in fear"
"Far from taking back control. Today our country feels more precarious than ever"
"We lurch from crisis to crisis, uncertain of who we are, what we stand for, and whether our children will be better off tomorrow, than those who came before"
"Far from becoming a buccaneering global Britain, the UK today is more weaker and more isolated than any point in our recent history"
"Far from lowering food and living costs, or slashing regulation, British businesses are now burried under 2 billion bits of red tape that stretch 15x around the circumference of the earth"
"All while the cost of living spirals even higher"
"Far from securing the transformative trading relationships we were promised, the government have only delivered Australia and New Zealand, worth a combined 0.1% to UK GDP and exposing British farmers to toucher competition and diluted protection"
"The India deal would add just 0.13%"
"And the much heralded US agreement has shrunk from growth opportunity into damage limitation following Trumps tariffs"
"Meanwhile we've erected new barriers with our largest market, the European Union"
"Which continues to represent half our global trade"
"The result? Tiny wins at the margins, and a massive permanent hit at the core"
"That is no global Britain"
"Nor was it ever going to be"
"It's economics by consolation prize, and the country is paying the price"
"Just last month the National Bureau of Economic Research, published a decade long analysis, concluding that Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6-8%"
"The House of Commons library shows that Brexit is now costing the treasury £90 billion every single year in lost tax receipts"
"Money that could be supporting our NHS, our defence spending an our public services"
"In practical terms, the average Briton today is between £2,700 and £3,700 worse off, that if we remained in the EU"
"That is the reality of the Conservative bothced Brexit deal"
"It was the most dishonest campaign in modern British political history promised that Brexit would save £350 million a week, instead, Brexit is costing this country £250 million every single day"
"That is why we have the highest tax burden in 70 years"
"That is why families families face sky high bills"
"That is why we remain trapped in a cost of living crisis"
This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe
And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs

FIFA just invented a fake “Peace Prize” out of thin air because Trump got his feelings hurt over the real Nobel.
Handing a war-mongering, Venezuela-bombing, 3 a.m.-rage-posting dementia patient a made-up trophy while he’s literally threatening invasions is the most pathetic ass-kissing in sports history.
He will never, ever get the Nobel.
Enjoy the plastic soccer participation medal, Don.
RT and share if you think FIFA and Trump are idiots!
“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

Whilst The Black and White Minstrel Show and It Ain't Half Hot Mum are clearly racist by modern standards: I dont think even back in the 70s it was ever acceptable to praise Hitler, mock gas chambers, or hurl racist abuse.
Farage's press conference yesterday smacked of desperation. What a horrid little turd this man is.
Rachel Reeves's letting agent forgot to fill in a form so the media had wall to wall coverage for 4 days straight.
Nathan Gill a Reform leader and Farage aid is jailed for treasonously taking bribes from Russia, the same media is virtually silent.
Why?
The devastating Covid report confirms what many of us said at the time: when challenged by the worst global health emergency in 100yrs, Britain was led by a bunch of clueless, incompetent, complacent clods whose appalling decision-making cost 1000s of lives. Shame on them all.
One million views of this clip.
There are so many people who know the Labour Government have crossed another red line.
We are compassionate, human & caring. Pitting communities against people seeking asylum is a distraction from taxing the super rich.
