@wartranslated Wasn't it British NLAW's and Turkish Baraktars which trashed Russian tanks in the early days?

Trump claims Putin had hundreds of tanks ready to reach Kyiv in three hours via a solid highway, but some general, "probably not around anymore," sent them through muddy fields instead. Record rains hit, the tanks got stuck, and Javelins he'd already supplied finished them off, he says.

@The_One1001 @asda ASDA was lucky not to go bust in the early 90's before Walmart rescued them

The Issa brothers have fucked @asda and this needs to be talked about as a crime against British legacy brands… They sold all the freeholds for the supermarkets in leaseback deals and took huge loans against the remaining revenues, they themselves cashed out their initial investment, so it’s been lucrative for them. The business is practically insolvent now, with HUGE interest payments on debt Enterprise Value ~£4.5–6.5bn Total debt: £3.1bn net / ~£4.9bn gross (FY24) Revenue: £25.9bn (FY25) Interest on debt: ~£393m (FY24; FY25 not yet disclosed) This great video breaks it down further…. youtu.be/dyIq-RfkM2w?is…

@MittensOff Will she put her daughters on the payroll as "researchers" like she did while an MP?

Come on we need a laugh after this week!😂 #ReformUK #Manchester

@danielmgmoylan Lord Hannan's predictions of Brexit have aged well youtu.be/bR-AXnvunlo?si…

We just sure that this rubbish follows them round in their academic careers and that they are not forgiven for these lies.

@HepKat56 @david_mullens @reformparty_uk Farage is dodgier than a £6 pound note

@david_mullens @reformparty_uk He looks less corrupt than this Labour party, or else why would Starmer be fighting for his political career

Thank you to every voter who backed Reform UK and every volunteer who campaigned for us in Makerfield.

@rcolvile @CPSThinkTank @Telegraph But no doubt,had the UK economy performed well - it'd be all down to Brexit🙄

Blame Britain’s growth rates on Westminster, not Brexit - Gerard Lyons previews his latest research for @CPSThinkTank in the @telegraph telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@DavidGHFrost Talking of which...why did Russia support Brexit so keenly?

Certainly explains why his economics appear to be drawn from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

@Rod__Mason In the case of the UK it's mainly been car washes & nail bars

Investment in the UK has increased since our Brexit vote. 🇬🇧 🗳️

@donjovi2 @truemagic68 @richa16008 There are only 14 rights enshrined in the ECHR,every Europe country except Russia and Belarus. Which of these 14 rights are you against? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_…

@truemagic68 @richa16008 They're are many remainers that want out of the ECHR. There are sections that I want to see changed and if that involves leaving, then so be it.

Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey quoted in Telegraph today - "A decade of Brexit has been bad for the economy!" Really? What about Covid, Ukraine, Gaza, Iran and a massive energy crisis? Surely they must have played more than a spear-carrying role?

@Leave_Mns_Leave Not sure about anyone else,but sure don't feel 5% better off than in 2016🙄

No, Brexit hasn't "cost X% of our economy" See below⬇️from pro-EU Economist magazine Since voting Leave, we've outperformed (in red) Germany, but less than France & way behind USA. But average-ish growth for EU is not enough. Need a higher growth mid-Atlantic/Swiss/Aussie model.

@DCBMEP Funny how all the remaining Brexit supporters seem to have EU passports now🙄

Exactly. Go forwards into the world not backwards into inward looking Europe.

@john4brexit Is that the same Daily Telegraph that had to be rescued by a German company?

Project Fear predicted a Brexit apocalypse for the City. It never happened -In this five part series, Dia Chakravarty examines how Britain is faring outside the EU The City don’t want to join the stifling EU - Barnier wanted to shackle the city - he failed telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/2…

@nadhimzahawi Bet you wouldn't want that chavvy display on your street🤣

@BritainUnbound Priceless that the Daily Telegraph had to be rescued by a German company🤣

"Project Fear predicted a Brexit apocalypse for the City. It never happened" As we approach the tenth anniversary of the vote in 2016, it is important that we don't let the continued despair of those who lost ten years ago, to overshadow the victory. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/2…

@RogerHelmerMEP The UK pharma sector's not been spared the scourge of Brexit... openaccessgovernment.org/uk-pharma-inve…

No benefit? Freedom to trade with the rest of the world? The ability to develop new tech — pharma, AI, nuclear, untrammelled by oppressive EU rules. (But we need a government committed to building on Brexit benefits).

@BritainUnbound Brexit Britain's given the rest of the world a good laugh, unfortunately we can't monetise that

Its time to stop trying to reverse Brexit, and instead start to harness the opportunities it brings. britain-unbound.org/articles/its-t…

@stephen7502 @MikeJPretzel Poland gets 0.7% of GDP from EU, about 3 months growth at the rate they're growing. A rounding error basically. You expecting us to believe the car crash of the UK economy can be viewed as a success!! There's even mutterings of an IMF bailout being required FFS

That’s great news for Poland. When will they become a net contributor to the EU and not a net receiver? It’s a lot less difficult to improve living standards if somebody else is footing the bill. Net contributors like France, Germany and the UK, were it still in the EU pay for development in counties like Poland. That aside, the UK economy can’t only be compared with other European G7 countries and on that score Brexit appears to have been a success. The UK economy, which is the 5th/6th largest in the world, is just under 4 times the size of the Polish economy.

King's College and the University of Nottingham study says Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8% compared to what it would have been, and double that predicted. Investment fell between 12% and 18%. Employment dropped 3% to 4%, and productivity by the same margin. Let’s #RejoinEU

@stephen7502 @frombexley @MikeJPretzel Looks like the UK trade deficit has doubled with those figures😂

@frombexley @MikeJPretzel Yes, let’s look at the real data and not just a small position that suits your argument. If one wants to look at trade, let’s look at the real data for total trade including goods and services, both EU and global. This is the real data. See the impact of Brexit? Neither can I.

@stephen7502 @MikeJPretzel Poland and Slovakia are on course to overtake UK living standards, UK youth unemployment higher than Italy and UK Govt has to pay more than Greece to borrow money - quite clear something's going wrong

@MikeJPretzel More rubbish-in, rubbish-out modelling?. I wish these people would explain why the UK would have vastly outgrown France and Germany if it was in the stagnant EU under the same regulatory framework. That’s the “sniff test” that all these claims by economic experts are failing.

@RogerHelmerMEP Even if what you say is true...it means we're going through a lot of shit for no benefit

Arrant nonsense. Since Brexit, the UK economy has done as well as France & Italy, & better than Germany. These spurious “studies” are based on comparisons with the USA, which no EU countries are matching.
