Suella, you dismissed young people that didn’t want Brexit because of the damage to our economy, in fact you told us if we didn’t like it- leave. Many of us did

It doesn’t. @Independent

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the kind of logic that put us in a position where we have to consider paying the EU £1bn a year for better access to the Single Market. Brexit has been a disaster and men like David Davis are to blame for it.

Boris Johnson was so desperate to mask the catastrophic economic effects of Brexit that he flooded the country with cheap labour to prop up overall GDP: Brexiters can say “there was no collapse in the economy” but per capita GDP and the vast social issues we imported tell a different story

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? 🤯 Sabastian Sawe has just become the first person in history to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions. Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!

Did you know? There is a well known audio recording in which J.R.R. Tolkien personally narrates “The Ride of the Rohirrim.” This recording was made in 1952 at a friend’s house using a then new technologya tape recorder. During a period when Tolkien had not yet found a publisher for The Lord of the Rings and had begun to lose confidence in himself as a writer. When Tolkien listened to the recording, he rediscovered the power of his own prose, which encouraged him to continue writing. 📚

Em 1998, o Brasil venceu o amistoso contra a Alemanha por 2 x 1. O gol da vitória da seleção brasileira foi marcado por Ronaldo, o Fenômeno.

Britain is rejoining Erasmus+. From 2027, thousands of students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe, gaining international experience and new skills. Run by the @BritishCouncil, the programme will unlock a range of opportunities for people from different backgrounds across the UK.

British students will now have the right to study, live and work in the European Union for the first time since Brexit.

It’s more like: if political leaders are constantly playing with Christian theology to justify their politics, they shouldn’t be surprised if a Christian leader steps in and offers them a theological correction.

@DPJHodges Exactly

It was poor last night. But this anti-Tuchel stuff is way over the top. It was a friendly. The man won the group with 8 wins out of 8, and zero goals conceded. Key players were unavailable. And it's not his fault players like Palmer, Foden and Watkins are shadows of 2 years ago.

What? You mean that #Brexit DIDN'T mean we 'hold all the cards' and could 'dictate our own trade deal terms', and that the EU, as a the richest market in the world, managed to negotiate far better trade terms than #Brexit Britain? I'm shocked. Nobody saw this coming.

Brexit has likely done more economic damage than feared. Recent evidence suggests the economic cost of Brexit may be approaching twice the 4% impact assumed by the OBR. The Chancellor has signalled a shift in approach to EU trade, but the effect will depend on how far the govt goes on alignement.

Evening all. As we sail ever closer to the abyss of losing jury trials for thousands of citizens - I’d like us to examine something difficult. Sexual assault. 🪡 🧵

A view from Europe on the self-inflicted damage to UK particle, astro and nuclear physics. What a mess this is.
