The Storm is upon us, few saw it coming and fewer know we stand on its fringe. And when it passes over it will be so immense you won’t even know it is all the same Storm A Storm created when a butterfly fell to earth twenty four years ago. And the World will be forever changed.

Forty years in politics, I can tell you everything in this is correct and we’ve got a major electoral problem. The police, Electoral Commission, and many councils don’t take it seriously enough. It advantages some politicians so there’s pressure to ignore it. We need change.

So if Reeves’s claim that Brexit cost us 8% of GDP is correct it would mean we’d have grown four times more than Japan/Germany and almost twice France/Italy. Up there with Canada/US. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. In reality, even with Brexit, we were fastest growing European economy in G7. Just a tad more than France (with no Frexit).

And here's headline GDP on the same basis (similar points apply)... 🤔

@afneil A credible academic paper in 2025 estimated that Brexit reduced the level of UK GDP by around 6–8%. Not an absolute fall in GDP, but a cumulative, gradual shortfall in economic growth compared to what it would have been if the UK had remained in the EU.

Just add 8% to current UK GDP to make up the Brexit ‘shortfall’, then compare our GDP growth to other major European and G7 economies — and it quickly becomes apparent it’s anything but credible!!

One storm. One fallen tree. One field in the Lake District. ✏️ The entire global pencil industry. There is a field in the Lake District. Nothing remarkable about it. Fell sheep, grey sky, Cumbrian rain. Until one day a storm came through. It uprooted a tree and underneath the roots was something nobody had ever seen before. A black substance. Soft, dark, left a mark on everything it touched. The shepherds didn't know what it was, but they used it to mark their sheep. That was 1565. It was the purest deposit of graphite ever found on earth. The only one like it. Ever. 🌍 Word spread fast. The Crown seized the mine, put armed guards on the fell and flooded it between diggings to keep the price high. Stealing graphite became a criminal offence. Punishable by transportation to Australia. Because this wasn't just for marking sheep. It was perfect for lining cannonball moulds. It made England's cannonballs rounder. Faster. More deadly. ⚔️ England had a pencil monopoly for nearly a century. Every artist, every cartographer, every engineer in Europe. All of them wanted what was in that one Cumbrian field. Slowly, workshops appeared in nearby Keswick. Cottage industries. Families cutting graphite into sticks. Wrapping them in string. Then sheepskin. Then wood. The pencil was born. ✏️ In a Cumbrian field. Because a storm uprooted a tree. There is still a pencil factory in Keswick today. On the same site it has always been. Did you know that? These islands have thousands of stories the world has forgotten. We find them. We tell them. We put them in front of millions. You help us make that possible. Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 proudofus.co.uk

No real evidence to back this up The British economy has grown in a similar way to our European peers The pre Brexit forecasts have largely been debunked Even trade has continued to grow Getting closer to the EU might make sense if it was doing better but it's a rapidly declining bloc as even Draghi admits If people want to grow the British economy they should focus on domestic reform and critical trade relations focused on tech and natural resources

Labour's realignment with the EU will be slow, painful and expensive. But they are right to do it anyway, because Brexit isn't working My @thetimes column thetimes.com/comment/column…

We don’t like to think about lockdown, but it lies behind most of our current problems, including debt, inflation, absenteeism, low productivity, welfarism, the shoplifting epidemic, the conspiracy theories and even the immigration crisis. Paywall down. telegraph.co.uk/gift/a6fe66439…

No animal deserves to face its final moments fully conscious, in a state of terror and pain. In a landmark ruling in 2023, a Greek court drew a firm line by declaring that slaughter without prior stunning is not legally permitted — a quiet but deeply significant victory for animal welfare. The court acknowledged what science has long confirmed: animals feel fear, pain, and distress just as acutely as any living being, and they deserve basic protection, especially in their most vulnerable moments. This decision is not a statement against any religion or community; it is a commitment to upholding fundamental welfare standards that apply to every animal, regardless of the reason for slaughter. Change like this rarely happens loudly — but for every animal spared from dying in full consciousness and agony, this ruling speaks volumes. When courts choose compassion, they speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

In the event of another much predicted banking crisis in the UK it’s likely to be resolved through a bail-in from creditors not a bail-out by the taxpayer. See attached the legislation to enable a bank bail-in which was last amended in 2014. Scary stuff 💥 gov.uk/government/con…

I have followed Cyril Jubert for years, or even decades. He understands the precious metals markets very well, and has some interesting contacts in the field. In his latest piece on the ‘End of the Western Hegemony’ he published some very interesting details on the recent halts of CME/COMEX trading. While he hasn’t given any real proof he gives some very specific details, which sound very plausible to me. ‘On November 30, the CME shut down all of its computer systems for ten hours to negotiate with a buyer to withdraw their delivery order for 7,330 contracts of 5,000 ounces of silver — a total of 36 million ounces — which would have placed COMEX in a very precarious situation. Ultimately, this trader agreed to have 6,816 of his contracts settled in cash, for a premium of $65 million.’ goldbroker.com/news/end-weste…
