BREXIT: THE GREATEST ACT OF SELF-HARM IN MODERN BRITISH HISTORY
NINE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, THE UK VOTED TO LEAVE THE EU - THE FALLOUT HAS BEEN EVEN WORSE THAN I EXPECTED IT WOULD BE..

Ouch. The dotted line is Brexit. The Tories + Brexit absolutely rocketed immigration, and mostly from non EU countries. However the UK will now pay the price by letting in Reform MP's who will unleash their traitorous efforts to turn this country into 1930's Germany. Disaster.

Girls & women should be very concerned about the risks they have to face on a daily basis, especially risks of sexual attack from men. However it should be clear that the risk from trans women is minuscule when compare to men. I don't believe this is a misogynistic view, its counting the numbers.

If you wanted to short the stock market on a massive scale to make a fortune for billionaires on top of their existing fortunes, then you would do exactly what Trump has done this week. Who pays? The poor and hard working.

Congrats to Germany, France and China for reducing their support for financing Musk's nazification of the USA. However no idea what is going on in the UK for February. Maybe a bunch of Reform UK voters got their annual bonuses.

I think American mushrooms is my favourite entry in the US FDA food standards doc. Not only will you be able to count the number of maggots in a tin of mushrooms on 4 hands, you'll be able to measure their length and fish around in the mite infested and rotten goo of mushroom yuckiness:

@Adam_Smith_PHD @adam-smith-phd.bsky.social · 12/03/2025
Brexit benefits. And still the Brexit charlatans will keep telling you the lies. So many years on and not one. Not one Brexit benefit either enumerated or delivered. Just lost growth, lost exports, and a reduced standing in the world. A disaster delivered by grifters.

Soaring rents and evictions fuel a 14% rise in homelessness across England, with over 354,000 people—including 161,500 children—affected, says Shelter. London sees one in 47 homeless, while national solutions demand urgent investment in affordable housing.

Eight years ago, still not one single benefit, but a cost that has set the UK back by a generation. History will not be kind to the architects of Brexit who have betrayed our country and will always be judged as traitors.

What's the analysis here: UK electorate is around 50M, so only 6% of voters signed the petition. Of course not all 2.9M were UK residents, or genuine real people signing up. However it doessuggest that up to 6% of the UK population, are extremely susceptible to being conned by right wing liars.

With Farage / Reform endlessly stoking up the immigration issue, how far along the 10 steps to genocide are we willing to allow these fascist shysters go? For a moment, just consider yourself in 1930's Germany, where one noisy fascist managed to win a minority in the Reichstag.

We just have to hope this is the majority view of decent people. He is correct, and the path to full out Nazism is paved with shills like Farage who say its not until its too late.

Starmer is undoubtedly an order of magnitude more decent & competent than any Tory PM in the last 15 years However he must rue the day he wrote his 6 tests for a successful Brexit And still in 2024, not 1 single Brexit benefit has been either defined or delivered. It's been a catastrophic disaster

Labour will ditch any pledge for UK GDP growth. They have no choice. 2 things happened in 2020. The UK left the EU and Covid lockdowns began. The UK contraction was deeper than the EU and the recovery is low compared to the EU. This is Brexit. Rejoining the EU is the only path to growth.

I'm not sure about kids pretending to eat out of empty lunchboxes, but I do know first hand from a teacher in a primary school about very hungry early years children scavenging food from a classroom bin. These are children on free school meals who don't get breakfast at home (or tea later)

Is this a bad time to bring up "inverted yield curves" ? This charts the difference between 10 and 2 year Treasury yields. History shows these curves are cyclical and tend to invert then uninvert. The bad news is that we have seen recessions after a steep sustained uninvert, which is happening now.

Labour will struggle to generate any significant growth without rejoining the EU single market. We're already at least 5% down on where we could be & haemorrhaging billions every year. US Tariffs will be the nail in the coffin for the economy, although Trump's likely to crash global growth anyway

Badenoch at #PMQs was truly awful. She is massively out of her depth, can barely string a coherent question together, and makes herself look an idiot by trying to position herself an expert. This despite every time she opens her mouth confirming she doesn't have a single brain-cell between her ears.

UK does not have an FTA with US. US may impose harsher tariffs across world. Feels unlikely US will offer FTA to UK & traitorous Farage will put the boot in. But Trump term ends Jan 29 & Starmer term ends Aug 29 so Farage wont be able to offer a US FTA especially if Dems win. Could be useful timing.
