I want a government that protects the 67M citizens who are not billionaires from the 177 citizens who are.

@n0ght @jamesgamble1978 @TheMightyTrexUK I went through all 72 Directives that HMG opposed but still got passed twitter.com/mac_puck/statu… and the 89 CJEU judgements against HMG twitter.com/mac_puck/statu… TLDR: I discovered that WE were the bad guys in EVERY SINGLE case.

I recently looked at "all them rules" that the EC imposed on the UK against our will. The Brexiters also like to bewail the tyranny of the ECJ, but usually cannot cite a single judgement. So here are all 89 judgements against HMG over the last 30 years (3 per year😱). Enjoy...

@faisalislam A Trade Court in the US just blocked Trump's "liberation day" tariffs. TLDR: says it is not an "emergency" so Trump cannot just sideline Congress. But the UK, alone, has subsequently *agreed* to 10%. Maybe we should rejoin the CU to benefit from their 0% rate? Mwhahaha.

Errrm. The deal is: US trebles tariffs on the UK, and in return the UK cuts tariffs by two-thirds… This from Lutnick’s chart in the White House…

Trade Court blocks Trump tariffs. But does this block apply to tariffs on UK goods, which the UK have agreed to in the recent trade deal? Could the UK, alone, be facing a 10% tariff, while the EU faces none? Maybe we should try to rejoin the CU to access their 0% tariff?

NEWS: A federal court just invalidated Trump’s ”Liberation Day" tariffs, ruling he exceeded his authority under IEEPA. The court said Trump can’t bypass Congress to set trade policy and that these tariffs are unconstitutional and void.

@Chaplin7774 @RichardGCorbett It is not "40 billion in trade" it is 40 billion lower tax revenue - caused by a hit to GDP of 4 to 5% (ie between £106 billion and £134 billion). And our "membership fee" was around £12Bn, but we got more than that back each year in grants, purchases and services provided.

@RichardGCorbett Even if we were to gain 40 billion in trade per year we then turn around at give it back in membership fees.

The EU - UK reset is a good start, but too cautious. Without at least rejoining the single market we won’t turn the corner on the 4 to 5% GDP lost due to Brexit & its consequential annual £40bn lost tax revenue - think about the difference that would make to our public finances!

@GavinBarwell Dave fancies Tammy. Dave gets divorced, losing house, money, friends. Asks T out: "Sorry - no, Dave." Dave regrets divorce. Dave hears Tammy rebuffed Jean-Pierre more harshly: "Fck off, asshole". So Dave's divorce is now a good idea? (Jean still has home & friends, mind.)

Brexiteers promised a free trade deal with the US. Now they're celebrating our trade becoming less free just because the EU is getting it even worse. Proper Brexit Derangement Syndrome
David Frost@DavidGHFrost

It also vindicates our decision to get out of the EU and its customs union. Congratulations to @Keir_Starmer for being ready to take advantage of our status as an independent country and the Brexit freedoms that go with it. Perhaps that EU 'reset' can now be quietly junked?

@in_bloke A 10% tariff isn't even a pat on the head; it is just a slightly less severe kick in the nuts compared to a 20% tariff. Leaving the EU to access an open US market was daft enough, but staying out to forlornly pine for access to a protectionist US market is insane.

@IainDale Turkiye is in the CU. The tariff imposed by the US upon Turkiye is.... 10% Note: the quickest way for the UK to join the CU now is via a Customs Agreement, like Turkiye, rather than the full membership that comes with being in the EU.

Just seen Sir Ed Davey on the BBC News arguing for us to rejoin the Customs Union. This is crackers on various levels, not least that he is effectively arguing that we should voluntarily agree to 20 per cent tariffs from the US rather than 10 per cent. Economics of the madhouse.

@WibkeHott @carolecadwalla Elon Musk has done democracy a favour by doing blatantly what Zuckerberg, Thiel, Nix, Bannon and the Mercers were doing by stealth. Nation states are going to have to co-ordinate against the Nerd Reich to defend democracy.

You muppets voted tory and brexit to 'reduce immigration' and you've become poorer with record numbers of legal immigration from India, Pakistan and Africa for various crap trade deals. EU trade deals are transparent. All Tories did was distract you with 'Stop the boats. Mugs

@DPJHodges He lost his mind when his son went trans about two or three years ago. Do you remember the Wise Woman's three solutions to Blackadder's problem in series 2, episode 1: 1) Kill Bob 2) Kill yourself, or 3) KILL EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE WORLD! Substitute "hate" for "kill"...

@Sillyshib More importantly, Brexit sent Putin - and various US and British Billionaires - the message that Britain could be attacked with impunity; provided the weapons used were digital and psychological, not conventional, we would do NOTHING to defend ourselves or retalliate.

@paulmasonnews Investigation of the "main nodes of incitement" - and particularly the Russian component - was totally banned by the last Government, because it would have exposed Brexit. Will Keir "Mr Brexit" Starmer allow the investigation to proceed now, knowing what it will reveal?

Hstory has shown that when sovereign nation attacks sovereign nation, it can expect an immediate and extreme response (eg Falklands 1982). But Mogg senior's "sovereign individuals" can attack sovereign nations with impunity - what is the answer? Time to take the gloves off?

I just hope the US Security and Intelligence agencies get on top of it faster than ours in the UK - and maybe even prevent it happening. Our Security and Intelligence agencies were specifically PREVENTED from investigating the Brexit/Trump/Putin gang, by the last Gov. 7/7

newyorker.com/news/news-desk… In 2016, the brexit referendum was a petri dish for the US General Election. The same people - Cambridge Analytica, Thiel, Bannon , the Mercers & Putin - ran the same plays and won both times. What if the UK riots are a dry run for the US election? 1/
