THIS IS MASSIVE FROM 🇨🇳 CHINA 🇺🇸 Trump: "China agreed not to supply weapons to Iran. I talked to them." 🇨🇳 China FM: 🔥 "We want to end rumors that China agreed with the U.S. not to supply weapons to Iran." "To be clear: no such communication occurred. China has neither confirmed nor denied supplying weapons to Iran." "Our security agreements and defense cooperation are sovereign matters for China alone. No foreign country may interfere in China’s internal affairs." Trump getting humiliated every hour. 😭

Net migration has fallen 82%. I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering. I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

You really do talk tripe . How would the EU cut bills? Why would a customs union ,which protects EU producers by creating tariffs , help when it makes the cost of living more expensive? It would also destroy our good trade deals . Are you an imbecile?
Liberal Democrats@LibDems

MPs tonight have a chance to back our amendment, restore a strong trading relationship with Europe and turbo-charge our economy. It's time for a UK-EU customs union.

⚠️This is OUTRAGEOUS. The Government’s response to jet fuel and diesel shortages? Not to support the North Sea. Not to support UK refineries. 🚨But to lift sanctions on RUSSIAN oil products. You couldn’t make this up.

They told us joining the EEC would be great for our manufacturing industries. Reality... - 3.5 million jobs lost - entire towns almost wiped out - £1 trillion in cumulative lost tax revenue That would have built a lot of hospitals, trains, roads, parks etc. Catastrophic. #Brexit

It is a mistake to think that if the UK rejoined the EU, Britain's problems would disappear. The British political class was similarly deluded before. In the 1960s, the EEC was doing well, while the UK lagged. So, the UK joined the EEC in 1973. The EEC membership did not help. The EEC (including the UK) stagnated in the 1970s. It was Margaret Thatcher's reforms that made the UK economy grow relative to Europe in the 1980s. The same can be said today. The UK has the means - domestic reform - to fix its problems. Rejoining the EU is no shortcut. The EU is also, in large part, stagnating.

Norway and the UK drilled the same North Sea. 🇳🇴Norway got $2 trillion. 🇬🇧The UK got tax cuts. Same basin,Same era.... Completely different outcomes. Norway captured $30 per barrel in government revenue. The UK captured $11. That gap, compounded over 50 years of production, is the entire difference. Norway's model was simple: tax heavily (78% marginal rate), take direct equity stakes in fields via the SDFI, own part of Equinor, and put everything surplus into a fund invested abroad. The Government Pension Fund Global now holds over $2 trillion in assets. That's $390,000 per Norwegian citizen about 1.5% of all listed equities on earth. The fiscal rule: only spend the 3% annual real return. Never touch the principal. The UK started producing earlier, at lower prices, with a lower tax rate (40%) and no saving mechanism. North Sea revenues flowed straight into the general budget. Economists estimate the UK missed out on roughly £400 billion compared to a Norwegian style regime. The windfall largely financed tax cuts in the 1980s rather than a fund. Where things stand in 2026? Norway's petroleum sector will generate $63 bn in net cash flow this year alone feeding a fund already large enough to cover 10-15% of the national budget from returns alone. The UK is a net energy importer. Since 2021 it has paid countries like Norway more than £100 billion for gas. One country treated oil as a finite resource to convert into permanent financial wealth. The other treated it as income. image source:eia

Why anyone would want to join an organisation that takes 25 years to agree a trade treaty is beyond me. If the Gov wants the UK to export more to the EU then may I suggest we reduce our worlds most expensive energy and taxation and labour costs. We're killing ourselves and I didn't vote for any of it, except Brexit 🤣👍

Sir Liam Fox@LiamFox·
Here are the trade facts👇 The EU has become a smaller proportion of UK exports as the rest of the global economy has grown faster. Rejoining is a metropolitan liberal fetish not supported by the facts. Although, given how useless this Labour government is, it is no surprise some cabinet ministers would rather be governed by Brussels.

@peterkyle FYI, this happened by accident. The "strong growth figures" in Q1 were a temporary bounce after three quarters when the UK economy barely grew at all. The IMF upgrade simply reflected this backward-looking data, rather than any improvement in the outlook for the rest of 2026.

Despite a few pundits trying to link vacancy levels to government policy the reality is the elephant in the room is the war in the Middle East; and it’s impacting the global economy. A war this government chose not to engage offensively in.

If Trump said that in order for UK to have greater access to the US market we would have to hand over £billions and then align to US rules, including lower animal welfare standards, the media would go ape shit. But it’s fine to do so with the 40% smaller EU. Make it make sense.
