@PeterTatchell How strange 🤔.
And this is under a UK government who know little to nothing about creating growth.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@Eddystone506 Even with a government that has been disastrous for UK economy we are still set to out perform the EU's big hitters.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@JohnCrookes7 That's weird. I thought it was.....
Freebies
Pensioners
Farmers
Waspi Women
NI increase
Business rate increase
Energy prices
Not smashing the gangs
Mandleson
Being labeled far right
Endless U-turns
etc etc etc etc etc etc

@martindvz We are out performing major EU countries. Add to that nine poorer nations waiting in the wings to join the EU all of which the UK will have subsidise. Add to that compulsory use of the Euro.
Add to that no rebates.
Add to that higher membership fees.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@andrewhesselden Given the UK is surprisingly out pacing major EU economies, there are nine poorer countries waiting in the wings to join, compulsory use of the Euro, no rebate & huge membership costs is it really worth rejoining.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@benonwine If someone got to Ian Huntley then someone will surely get to these two as well 🤞

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@LabourEuropean Shockingly even with our dire economy we are out performing the big hitters in the EU & with nine 'poorer' countries waiting in the wings to join who will not be nett contributors it's probably not a great idea.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@SkyNews @lottyleeming If I were the prison guard I'd be reminding Varley that they got Ian Huntly eventually.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@BBCWorld The government borrowed over £23 Billion in April alone !
Puts things into perspective 🙄

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@andrewhesselden We can all agree that our economy is in a pretty dire state but the UK is still set to out perform the EU's big hitters.
On top of that there are none 'poor states' waiting in the wings to join the EU who will not be nett contributors.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@nowayjomo Makes you wonder who is responsible for the disastrous EU economy.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@BWallArthur Even with this governments joke of an economy the UK is due to out perform major European economies.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@TorstenBell Government borrowing for APRIL ALONE was over £23 Billion.
That dwarfs the recent trade deal with Japan which time will be worth an estimated £18 Billion to the UK economy.
That's Labour economics.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@Keir_Starmer @takaichi_sanae A deal worth an estimated £18 Billion, yet the government borrowed £24 Billion in the month of April alone.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@JohnCrookes7 Probably because the government borrowed £24.3 in April alone.
It unfortunately shows where we are as a country now. Sky high borrowing & welfare costs overshadow the small number of positive things happening in the country.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@DavidTaylor85 Major deals & investment are always welcome but to put things into perspective your government borrowed £24.3 Billion in April alone !

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@RhonddaBryant How many tankers have sailed through unchallenged in the past Chris.
Funny how this happens after two major defence resignations 🙄

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@AllisonCGardner Two major resignations from the defence & this happens. Should we all be a little cinical 🤔.

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@Keir_Starmer Ok. So you have two high profile resignations from defence and all of a sudden we are boarding a Russian tanker now despite having hundreds that have already blatantly sailed through our waters...... coincidence 🤔

[Stephen Pickles @pickles_stephen]

@MyArrse The government has to pay over £100 Billion a year on serving it's debt interest alone due to uncontrolled borrowing.
It starts to put things into perspective a little & shows us where the real problem lies.
