🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

UK food and drink trade deficit largest since 2000 at £21bn. Brexit, Trump tariffs/wars and deindustrialization add to woes. Exports to the EU fall, cheaper imports control inflation but reduce food security. Must support local production, rejoin EU.

Playing 'whack-a-mole' on migration? 🔨 In @yorkshirepost.co.uk ✉️, Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social exposes how #Brexit severed EU databases & returns pacts, leaving the UK stranded while populist grifters profit from chaos. Time for real security cooperation! 🤝 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #Leeds #Yorkshire #UKPolitics
A scanned clipping of a letter to the editor published in The Yorkshire Post on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, headlined "Britain playing 'whack-a-mole' on migration" by Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe.   The letter argues that while collective action across Europe is vital, the EU has already implemented its comprehensive Migration and Asylum Pact across 27 nations. In contrast, Brexit severed Britain's access to vital European biometric databases and tore up returns agreements, leaving the UK playing a hopeless game of migration 'whack-a-mole' as smuggling gangs shift routes.   It condemns masked anti-migrant demonstrators dressed like bank robbers as un-British intimidation, and accuses populist figures of never wanting the crisis resolved because the chaos is too lucrative for their political grifting. It concludes that the UK must abandon isolationism and rebuild practical security cooperation with our European neighbours.

HMRC is an unsecured creditor for corporation and capital gains tax. It recovers little from bankrupt businesses. Phoenixing also robs the public purse. HMRC wrote-off £12.8bn in 2025-26. Changes to law and HMRC creditor status can raise billions for the public purse.
