Time to admit the truth, Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure. Investment is worse off by between 12pc - 18pc, employment by between 3pc - 4pc and productivity by between 3pc - 4pc. There have been few more devastating assessments than this. https://t.co/IbelcDUrXu
@johnredwood Who knew leaving the world’s largest free market would leave us exposed to …. well, markets. Not sunlit, no cards, no free trade queue just steel dumped to crash UK businesses . Brexit is shit.
Brexit Britain isn’t sovereign, it’s isolated.
Britain is learning the hard way what “Global Britain” really means:
– Tariffs from both the EU and the US
– Steel crisis in Scunthorpe & Port Talbot
– Left out of every major trade bloc
The Economist calls it “a dangerous post-Brexit world” and they’re right.
🇬🇧 So-called “Brexit freedoms” now mean tariffs from both the EU and US.
🇬🇧 Starmer’s trade policy is firefighting symptoms while locking in the same broken logic via India and US deals.
🇬🇧 The non EU members that avoided this mess - Norway, Ukraine (soon the EU) - are aligned, not isolated.

🚄 Brexit means Britain’s left off the map and cut off.
The EU is launching a Europe-wide high-speed rail network: 49,400 km linking every capital and major city at 250–350 km/h.
It’s the future of green travel and connection.
And we’re not on it thanks to Brexit

@Scaramucci here’s a thought, Bitcoin has a half life, like a radioactive element. Up to 20% of bitcoin has already gone, lost forever and there is a rate at which the rest follows due to human frailty, accident, malevolence and acts of God. At what point does it lose utility?
@lewis_goodall I’m old enough to remember the dog licence and ID registration. I’d like a written constitution first so I know what I’m signing up for. I’m not your dog,
@DerrickEvans4WV Inoculate your kids against capitalism by making them poo outside until they can afford their own place, then charge them for cleaning up, bill them rent at twice their pocket money and tell them should try to get better parents and a second job.
@dave43law@DailyMail Nadine Dorries, mad Nads has defected from Tory to reform. Boris wouldn’t play with his Nads but she’s sure Farage.will be willing to get them out in public. Go Nads! madder than ever .
@RussInCheshire When in the EU we had a transient work force who would come to the UK, work, then return to their European home. Now we have replaced that with permanent migration. Not a wise move.
@DrEilidhMaria If you join a cult they tell you that you are needed. They isolate you from friends and family increasing your commitment. They wake you at night for disorientation. There’s a confusing complex system of punishment and rewards . They move you around.
@RestPoliticsUS Consider the long run, a few presidential terms. If a fish rots from the head downwards, how goes the USA? How easy will it be to fix what Trump is doing to Americas place in the world?
@RestIsPolitics@campbellclaret@RoryStewartUK Where has military funding for Ukraine come from. Has the EU stepped up as an organisation, can it, or have European nations made their own choices?
