This is the proof, remoaners. This is the truth.

[Latimer Alder @latimeralder]

Britain left the EU ('Brexit') in January 2020

How have the two economies fared since?

As expected, Britain has grown faster than the moribund, enterprise-sapping, inward looking, anti-democratic, unaccountable, and oh so smug EU

Ignore the saddo Remoaners aching for more rule from the Brussels Bastards

Brexit has been GOOD for us!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

ANDREW NEIL:
There were good arguments in 2016 for staying in the EU.
The Remain campaign made a mess of articulating them. There are no good reasons in 2026 for rejoining the EU. https://t.co/RPpOl4xzZc via @DailyMail

Not when there’s no wind and no sun.

[Dr Iain Staffell @iain_staffell]

Wind and solar now supply 40% of Britain's electricity demand.

What a remarkable change has been made over the last decade!  That puts us ahead of most major world economies.

@bphillipsonMP Utter twaddle, you unpopular politician with rubbish policies. You live in a bubble. Get real. Go to Piddington, like you’ve been invited and have ignored them.

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

The British state says we don’t have money to fund national defence.

But in the last week we learned it found £12 billion for welfare for foreigners, £665 million for Angola & now £88 million for Gaza.

There’s a magic money tree. It just doesn’t involve the British people.

EU remoaner fantasists read this and weep

[The Heartlands Tribune @HeartlandsTrib]

Andrew Neil gives the Rejoin EU fantasists a dose of reality they rarely get on Question Time.

The argument is still being conducted as though Britain left the Europe of 2016 and can simply climb back aboard the same train. Neil’s point is devastatingly simple: that Europe no longer exists. The political balance has shifted, its biggest economies are struggling, and rejoining the single market or customs union comes with obligations and costs that are too often waved away by those selling Brexit reversal as free money.

He also reminds Remainers of something they prefer to forget. There were serious economic arguments for staying in the EU in 2016, but the official campaign squandered them with a relentlessly negative campaign and then spent years raging at the electorate for delivering the wrong answer.

You cannot rerun 2016 in 2026 and pretend nothing changed.

The #EU is rapidly becoming a goose step away from 1933...

In the US unleaded petrol is 94p/litre. 11p of that is tax.

Here it’s upwards of £1.70 and 81.43p* of that is tax.

Without tax the US and UK price at the pump would be 83p/l and 89.5p/l

It’s not international prices forcing up our fuel to unaffordable levels.

It’s our government. 😡😡😡

(*UK pump price of 170.9p per litre, tax is 81.43p per litre, meaning 47.6% of what you pay goes directly to the government.

Tax Breakdown
•Fuel Duty: 52.95p per litre
•VAT (20%): 28.48p per litre (charged at 20% on the underlying cost of the fuel plus the fuel duty, creating a "tax on a tax").
◦VAT on the fuel duty alone: 10.59p of that VAT amount comes directly from taxing the 52.95p duty.)

The PM @andyburnham saying Brexit caused the migrant boats. The dates don’t back that up.

Official Home Office figures start in 2018. That year 299 people crossed. In 2019 it was 1,843. We were still in the EU. Dublin still applied. The route already existed.

There were even a handful of crossings before the referendum.

Border inspectors later confirmed nine small-vessel arrivals between July 2014 and May 2016. It just wasn’t a mass route yet.

What changed first was Calais. Britain and France spent years locking down the lorries: fences, dogs, CO₂ detectors, heartbeat monitors. Once that route got smashed, the gangs switched to dinghies launched off French beaches.

That switch started while we were still members.

Then people point to Dublin. Fine — look at the actual returns. In 2015 we sent 510 people out and took 131 in. By 2018 it was 209 out and 1,215 in. In 2019: 263 out, 714 in. We were already a net recipient. Most UK requests to send people back never happened. Losing Dublin removed a tool. It did not create a 40,000-person crossing.

The wider European surge wasn’t caused by us leaving either. Frontex recorded about 1.8 million irregular detections in 2015, during the Syria crisis. Later spikes were on the Mediterranean and Balkan routes. The Channel is small next to that. And the record net migration years were not dinghies. Those peaks were mostly legal work, study and humanitarian visas.

The boats are visible. They are not the bulk of the numbers.

The boats got bigger and more organised after 2020.

Average occupancy went from about 7 people per boat in 2018 to 65 in the year to June 2026.

That’s gangs adapting, other routes being blocked, and pull factors here.

It is not “we voted Leave, therefore the boats appeared.”

You’re the PM do your research before you try and gaslight the public.

Andy Burnham is another deluded Remoaner

[Colin Sutton 🇬🇧🩵 @colinsutton]

Today's gaslighting from our @uklabour Prime Minister is that Brexit made it more difficult to deport illegal immigrants.

He is talking about the Dublin III agreement, which we left when we exited the EU.

Fact is, more than 90% of the deportations we asked for under this agreement were refused and in practice its operation meant we took more than twice as many in as we were allowed to deport:

[Charlie Walsham @CharlieWalsham_]

I’m just catching up with the Laura Kuenssberg programme from yesterday, and it’s absolutely making my blood boil.

Bridget Phillipson was asked about the Piddington situation, and rather than address the fact that hundreds of unvetted men are going to be dumped on the doorstep of that village - men often from countries with cultures so regressive that the government feels it necessary to distribute leaflets among them telling them not to rape women - she instead pivots to a wider debate about misogyny within society and domestic violence.

These are very serious subjects, but they don’t address the fact that if women face danger from men in our society, then surely adding hundreds of unvetted men into the mix isn’t going to help.

Rishi Sunak is then mentioned after the former PM wrote an article expressing concern that we’re at risk of becoming a society where nationality is conflated with skin colour. Bridget Phillipson is then allowed to sound off about racism without acknowledging that uncontrolled immigration undermines social cohesion. She also talks about being of Irish stock, as if immigration from all countries and cultures is the same, when it plainly isn’t.

And all the while, unfortunately, because the BBC is very much on the progressive page, there is very little pushback against any of this.

The modern Labour movement refuses to acknowledge that an Eritrean or Afghan man clambering off a boat in Kent, who may be a criminal for all we know because he is completely unvetted, and who comes from a culture where women have precious few rights, may potentially present a different level of risk from a man raised in this country.

And if there is an increasing problem in this country with misogyny and violence against women, we have no idea how much changing demographics may have played into that, because the government and the police deliberately withhold information that could give us a much clearer idea of what factors are contributing to this awful trend.

All around us, we seem to be ruled over by people who are willing to gaslight us to the ends of the earth rather than tell us the whole truth.

[Richard @RedWallPleb]

Imagine calling someone who has paid at least £1 billion more in tax than you a "parasite" when your own wages come from the British taxpayer.

[Mark @ArtilleryMan728]

Bridget phillipson has just said on Trevor Phillips show "People are paid benefits to allow them to live the life they want to live".

That sounds to me like, let's not place people on benefits at a disadvantage over those working who can afford anything they desire, so to speak. It's trying to make a level playing field for those unemployed at the expense of people who work and pay taxes.

Benefits are not a reward for not working, they are to pay for the essentials like utilities, rent and food, not nails, alcohol, cigarettes, facial fillers, sunbeds.

UK 30y yields are almost 6%, the highest since Mar 1998, just before LTCM crisis. UK 10y is the highest since July 2007 before you know what! Although this a global move, make no mistake, Labour's policies have made the UK an outlier in the G7. Even Liz Truss didn't manage that!

About Reform donors @buying political favours”.

The first thing Starmer did when elected was give bumper 15% backdated pay rise to train drivers.

One of first things Burnham did was another rise for train drivers.

Labour’s trade union paymasters have the Government on a leash.

Did I get that right?

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

This is blatantly untrue.

It was a manifesto commitment. I quizzed the government on its failure to deliver and ministers repeated their promise.

This is a problem everywhere, but it’s particularly acute in London. Labour Mayor, Labour government; this is a Labour failure!

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

This is Labour! … YOU pay tourist tax but THEY WONT!

They believe they are better than you! You must be taxed, subdued and controlled!

Whilst they take the trappings of money and power and pretend they are equal.

I don’t think so.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Angela tried to dodge tax on her second home, despite supporting higher taxes on second homes.

She did paid second jobs despite opposing MPs having them.

She pocketed £17k severance pay after blasting others.

She has no right to moralise over Ben Delo or Christopher Harborne.
