Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
This isn't a game. Reform can't govern. Reform is totally corrupt. Reform is racist. Reform is xenophobic. Reform is fascist. Reform wants to copy Trump. Reform wants to copy Putin. Reform wants to coty Hitler. Reform would be the most radical break with democracy the UK has ever known. #RefUKkers

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers. Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed. How about: - It's WRONG - It's IMMORAL ?

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested. Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested. The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

STOP APPEASING FASCISTS. Just sums up everything wrong with this government's approach at the moment, encouraging division rather than finding ways to bring the vast majority together.

But still, they stay on X… Brexit prejudice and lies, the ‘legitimate concerns’ bullshit and allowing social media sites to become cesspits of radicalisation and conspiracy theory… have all led to this dismal place. A total failure of politics and journalism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

BBC News sum up gains for the UK £2 billion - CPTPP £5 billion - India £9 billion - EU However, keeping the UK outside an UK-EU Customs Union, and access to the EU Single Market costs us £140 billion a year So yes, £9 billion is great, but nowhere near the £140 billion we have lost due to Brexit

British Meat Processors Association: Starmer has “managed to achieve what the previous government promised us originally but didn’t deliver”. ~AA
Meat industry welcomes deal, saying Labour has achieved 'what previous government promised originally but didn't deliver'
The British Meat Processors Association has issued a statement strongly welcoming the deal with the EU. It says that, making access to the EU market easier for meat exporters, Keir Starmer has “managed to achieve what the previous government promised us originally but didn’t deliver”.

The association has also dismissed claims that the deal will mean the UK being a “rule taker” because it will aligned with the EU on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) rules. It says:

A common misunderstanding is that an SPS agreement will mean Britain becomes a ‘rule taker’. In reality, we must comply with the rules of any of our trading partners if we want to export to them – just like America must comply with British rules if they want to send us their products. This means we have been aligned with EU rules and standards all along. The difference this new deal will make is that Britain, unlike their other third country trading partners, will benefit from true, un-fettered access to their market and massively reduced trade friction. It will boost trade and make us more competitive.

Under the existing arrangement we have had to produce a mountain of paperwork to prove we comply, costing business a fortune but with no added value. This extra cost had to be absorbed somewhere in the supply chain, either through lower margins or higher prices, driving food price inflation and rendering UK businesses less competitive.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms. Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability. Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

If we’d been told Brexit would cost a divorce fee of £40bn, a further £100bn a year, kill small exporting businesses, increase immigration, lower food standards & deny people access to the latest cancer drugs, no one would have voted for it. It simply can not be defended and must be reversed.

Ofgem's energy pricing formula enabled companies to make £514bn operating profit. Price of electricity determined by the most expensive input i.e. gas. Electricity from wind, solar, nuclear, biomass, hydro cheaper but price determined by cost of gas. Customers ripped-off. Companies make billions.
