@johnredwood You clearly have not been to the US, and looking at what US 92,000 are worth. Did you know that I paid US 10 for six fresh eggs? In the UK, I paid less than US 2.

The countries with highest incomes are led by US with $92,000 GDP per head and some small countries with low tax rates. The UK at $56,000 is falling further behind with slower growth. Why does government want to be more like the EU which is only $44,000?

@BraisbyI If our government was to realign VAT against EU laws, then many things would change. Multiple VAT changes have been made since we left, those would all need to be reversed.

A word of warning to those pining for the EU. Spain tried to help its citizens by temporarily reducing VAT on fuel from 21% to 10% - but the EU has told them that it is illegal, as it is the EU who controls the laws, not the Spanish government. theolivepress.es/spain-news/202…

Who else thinks the FA Cup semi-finals shouldn't be at Wembley? They should be played at neutral grounds like Old Trafford, Anfield, Villa Park, or St James' Park, leaving the final as a Wembley exclusive!

A great read and a must-read for many. I believe Brexit is the child very few love. The Tory party doesn’t sell it, promote it or highlight its benefits because there are still many in the party who didn’t want it or believe in it. There even appears to be a reluctance within Reform to promote it and highlight its achievements, lest they draw attention to the fact that the Tories delivered it. The promotion of Brexit has been left to a limited few who are doing a great job, such as yourself, @julianHjessop, @TerraOrBust and others, defending it against ridiculous claims that attribute every negative issue, some global, to Brexit. More people need to get on board in challenging the false narrative and economic gibberish the general public are being continuously bombarded with. People have to understand not only the benefits that have been delivered but also the great opportunities ahead if Brexit is used to its full potential.

CHELSEA FANS, LET’S SEE WHAT YOU GOT. If you were appointed Sporting Director at Chelsea FC today with a mandate to win the Premier League next season, who are you hiring as manager? You can only sign 3 players max to get the job done. Let’s see your ball knowledge:👇

Guardian Watch: How a Broken Promise Becomes a “Policy Adjustment”. The article opens with moral clarity: cruelty, suffering, disappointment. It then introduces constraint: trade negotiations, economic priorities. It closes with diffusion: working groups, competing pressures, no clear accountability. This is not accidental. It is a narrative structure. A manifesto pledge to ban foie gras imports is dropped. But instead of confronting the structural reason, that trade agreements constrain domestic policy, the piece reframes the retreat as a regrettable but understandable compromise. Criticism is outsourced to charities and a restaurateur. Economic justification is presented as neutral fact. Responsibility is spread across institutions. The result is a managed response: the reader is allowed to feel morally correct, but guided toward accepting the outcome as inevitable. The real story is not animal welfare. It is that ethical commitments are subordinate to trade integration. The function of the article is not to challenge that reality, but to normalise it.

Yes. UK will have to pay to be part of EU single market for some products. But reset deal with EU estimated to boost economy by £9 billion a year..several times more than any cost. Real win would be rejoining whole single market - at least £90 billion. politico.eu/article/uk-eu-…

Made up figures based on rigged computer models. The claim that Brexit has been an “economic disaster” simply does not match the data. UK trade has not collapsed. According to the Office for National Statistics, total UK exports in real terms are higher than they were before Brexit. The idea that the country has stopped trading or suffered a dramatic contraction is false. Overall trade volumes are not surging, but they have broadly returned to pre-2019 levels. That means the UK is trading roughly the same amount as before, not dramatically less. The wider economy tells the same story. The UK has not fallen behind comparable economies. Growth performance is broadly in line with France and stronger than Germany in recent periods. There is no clear divergence that would support claims of large-scale economic damage. Global shocks explain most of the weakness seen across all advanced economies. Covid disrupted trade worldwide. The energy crisis hit Europe particularly hard. Slower global demand has affected all exporters. These factors apply equally to the UK, France, and Germany. Despite all of this, the UK economy has remained stable. Trade continues. Exports continue. There has been no collapse in output, no collapse in trade, and no evidence of the kind of systemic failure repeatedly claimed. The reality is straightforward. Brexit has not produced an economic disaster. The UK economy looks much like its peers: weak growth, but intact. The headline claims of massive losses and collapse are not supported by the data.

@EULondonMark Really? And you think Britain would be able to regain the opt-out? Or the rebate? Or keep the Pound? How's that going to work when Germany and France want the opposite of what we need?

Looking from the outside in now it appears that the EU really did need us more than we needed them. So why aren’t they making overtures to the UK and saying that they overplayed their hand? I say that because of the way they bullied and abused the UK, that we now want a far better deal than we had when we were in the EU. If not then we stay as we are.

@Lurker54639625 @FatBob0_v2 @TerraOrBust that's just your interpretation. That's the problem with brexiteers. They all have different reasons for leaving and different excuses as to the disaster it's been. Remainers were united in their position.

We, the electorate, had no say whatsoever in the formulation of EU legislation. The principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK was the number 1 reason why people voted leave. Indeed, being outside the EU allows a future UK government to repeal the laws Starmer is shackling us to.

Lord Frost on the EU Reset: "The new bill will sideline democratic UK lawmakers by making a whole range of EU laws applicable in Britain without us getting any say in them" "That’s not alignment, it’s subordination" Anyone who supports this action, is anti-democratic.

@TerraOrBust A Little advice to our friends in the UK, DONT DO IT. FIGHT HARD TO KEEP YOUR SOVIGNTRY. A Free and Independnt UK, is stronger, is a better place for the people of the UK, and makes a far better trade partner, allie that it ever would be under the yoke and subservient to the EU.
