Last week, the BBC declared that it had not breached its impartiality rules, claiming there were no significant counter-voices arguing for positive or even neutral effects of Brexit on the UK economy.

As a contributor to Brexit: The Facts Strike Back, this is great from Britain Unbound. A decade on from the referendum, it is time to take stock and look at what actually happened. We firmly rebut the tidal wave of well funded Remainer propaganda we have been subjected to.

[Britain Unbound @BritainUnbound]

So many great new books having just come out or just about to come out, on the topic of Brexit from a positive perspective.

We're going to be looking at a number of them over the coming weeks, in what will be a somewhat unofficial Brexit book festival of sorts.

[Richard Williams @williams_rje]

Thankyou again @GBNEWS for letting me repeat the points made here, and elsewhere for some time.

The UK’s Defence is broken because of bad political choices made by this @UKLabour government.

Lawfare and Veteran persecution, chronic lack of funding, and truly pathetic fear of transformation. All @UKLabour nonsense.

Good on those that have stepped out of the fetid, chaotic, self-serving, political swamp to say “enough is enough”.

Let’s hope change happens fast. But I’m not holding my breath….

[Britain Unbound @BritainUnbound]

The implications of the Bloomberg analysis of Brexit impact, released yesterday, don't seem to have been fully understood by the FBPE crowd.

It is essentially saying that the impact to tax revenue is less than the cost of membership.

Which is a nail in the coffin of rejoin.

[Helen Whately MP @Helen_Whately]

Bad luck to graduates struggling with massive student loan debts - delaying starting a family because you can’t afford it.

Labour chose to lift the two child benefit cap and spend more on benefits rather than help you.

@Conservatives will cap the interest on plan 2 student loans.

[Britain Unbound @BritainUnbound]

In 2023 Bloomberg Economics put out a report, that said that UK GDP was 4% / £100bn smaller due to Brexit, costing UK a lost £40bn in tax revenue.

Yesterday Bloomberg downgraded this to 2.5%.

So can people stop saying £100bn and £40bn now. Bloomberg themselves retracted it.

...
UK-EU already has tariff free trade so re-joining the CU wouldn't formally affect tariffs. It wd reduce trade costs somewhat by simplifying rules of origin compliance.

OTOH it would mean higher costs for UK-non EU trade including leaving CPTPP & abandoning other deals.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Labour maxed out on spending in their first two budgets.

They promised to limit spending increases to £9.5 billion a year.

But they increased it by £146 billion instead.

That’s why they’re dithering on the Defence Investment Plan.

[Catherine McBride OBE @CeeMacBee]

Fazi: 'The pandemic fund set the precedent: the EU can borrow on capital markets, distribute grants to member states, and then embed the repayment into the general budget for decades to come — all without anything resembling a proper democratic mandate.'

Remarkable story in Telegraph revealing just how useless recent Tory governments were:
A secret Whitehall report found that more than £28bn in foreign aid and Covid-19 loans was handed to terrorists, hostile states and gangsters!
The misappropriation of taxpayer funds from 2015 to 2021, includes millions sent to the Islamic State and Russia.
Those responsible remain unpunished and the dossier was buried to spare official embarrassment.

[Dr David Bull @drdavidbull]

Well said, @TiceRichard.

The Tories broke Britain.

If you want change, back @reformparty_uk. 🇬🇧

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

The government has not got a single thing worth having out of the EU in this "reset" negotiation. It's one concession after another.

It's an absolute shocker.

The reason is, of course, they aren't trying. They just want to tie us to the EU & they don't care what it costs.

[James Orr @jtworr]

A predictably despicable intervention from a man who has dedicated his career to dissolving his country.

A definitive legislative solution to the phenomenon of mass human trafficking into Britain - one Hermer is incapable of entertaining - would reduce tragic drownings to zero.

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

I spoke today in the Lords on the fallacy of believing that just building 'more of everything' - nuclear, gas, renewables - will make electricity cheaper.

Renewables are the problem. Until we stop adding more to the system, our electricity costs will continue to increase.

[Department of State @StateDept]

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

[Danny Kruger @danny__kruger]

The hypocrisy over Reform's comments on the Henry Nowak murder is nauseating. Labour & LibDem MPs (and a bunch of confused Tories trying to have it both ways) are hyperventilating that Nigel said he feels 'rage' about the two-tier policing on display, as if reflecting public anger is somehow illegitimate; meanwhile they are doing exactly what they accuse us of, namely using the tragedy to score political points.

Reform is doing what politicians should - pointing out how an individual situation reflects a general problem, and making suggestions to meet it. Our opponents all did exactly that (including proclaiming their anger, rage etc - no 'calm', 'be responsible' guff then) over George Floyd, a case rather beyond our jurisdiction - when it's a British boy saying 'I can't breathe' as he lies dying on a British street, it's an occasion to attack Nigel Farage and talk about police racism.

This is why the British Left has lost the people. If the government continues to be run by the agents of mass migration and the instigators of two-tier policing we will have a REAL far-right revolt, and that will not be pretty.

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

Disingenuous.

I was the Home Secretary who first called out two tier policing.

And what did a Conservative PM do?

Sack me.

The Conservative Party should be apologising to the nation, instead of criticising the only party that speaks for the British people.

It’s exactly why I left that rotten party.

[Ian Acheson 🇬🇧☘️ @NotThatBigIan]

👇I've written two articles today highly critical of policing. It's possible to do this and retain the utmost respect for some of the best men & women you could ever hope to meet who run towards danger & sometimes don't go home. It is possible to hold these views simultaneously.

[Sam Ashworth-Hayes @SAshworthHayes]

It's hard to think how else we should describe police officers carefully covering up Pakistani rape gangs in case the public kicked off.

As part of this effort, they actually arrested the fathers of victims who tracked down the houses they were being abused in.
