@neal_preshner @tomwhx I do hear Tories talking about how we must get ‘closer’ to the EU again, or even join their single market and customs union.

Especially that ‘Prosper’ lot, who apparently have 30,000 members.

It’s a legitimate worry.

[Rod Mason @Rod__Mason]

One problem the Tories still have, as their Party Chairman demonstrates here, is that unlike Reform they’re still ‘split down the middle’ somewhat on Brexit. (Or maybe that’ll help them in the Lib Dem seats they need to target, while Reform attack Labour.)

@BenAndo There are over 5 million businesses in the UK. Less than 5% of them export to the EU.

But all of them still have to comply with almost all of the regulations the EU introduced.

Because we haven’t had a government since Brexit determined to make the most of our independence.

[Rod Mason @Rod__Mason]

Why do some people think that rejoining the EU is the answer to anything?

[Rod Mason @Rod__Mason]

@ianrileyENG @MTChandler1 There was no error.

I said hardly anyone in the country voted for Burnham, and most people voted against Labour.

That’s correct.

I didn’t say his being PM wasn’t allowed; I said he shouldn’t be acting so arrogant, given the above.

I believe it will be his downfall ultimately.

@neal_preshner @tomwhx I don’t hear many Tories even today arguing passionately for making the most of the opportunities presented by Brexit.

Do you?

@the20Decs @ONS That would explain why housing, roads, transport, hospitals, GPs and other infrastructure just can’t cope with the population numbers.

19 million immigrants have come to the UK since Tony Blair was elected in 1997.

Why did Barry Soetoro change his name to Barack Hussein Obama?
Barry says he is a Christian. Is that what Christians do?

Europe pays ten times more than America for gas, because of stupid ‘green net zero!’

CHART OF THE DAY: The price of natural gas in the US 🇺🇸 and Europe 🇪🇺. Now, imagine running a gas-intensive company (say, a fertilizer plant) in either region. Europe >$30; US <$3

@LBC Women have all the power in a democracy, because most voters are female.

When Burnham said he wanted to take us back to the 1970s, who knew he literally meant blackouts and a ‘winter of discontent?’

@Rod__Mason How many homes are completely unable to install a heat pump, even if the occupants were stupid enough to think about it @Miatsf ?

@tomwhx The Tories don’t seem to be campaigning very hard against Burnham’s ‘rejoin’ plans?

@StefanReynolds Most Tory MPs voted Remain. 🇪🇺

Yes, to the local ‘leisure centre.’ 😬

As for the sleeping bags, spare socks and grab bag - where are we going???
We all have beds at home.
Why the sleeping bags???
Are we being evacuated?
The comms is so confused on this

Only 1 in 5 of the Boriswave migrants came in on skilled worker visas. There is no democratic mandate for them to be here. They will cost the British people £600 billion. That is not “progressive.” It is treating the British people with contempt.
