It doesn't matter how many times the Tories show who they really represent, they still manage to persuade a significant number of those they don't to support them.

I don't see how joining would slow the growth. Surely it would turbo charge it with easier access to consumers and suppliers.

I'm ashamed to say this is my borough. It was also very pro Brexit. It also has one of the lowest education scores in London, primarily brought down by low education attainment of the older adult population. I'm convinced that has something to do with it.

Am I the only one who feels the Reform UK political broadcast today, that was essentially a eulogy for Ann Widecombe, was not only in poor taste, but given that there's an ongoing investigation into her murder highly inappropriate? Using her murder to score political points shows how vile Reform are

Did Farage mention to the people of Clacton that his party plans to slash welfare payments during his re-election campaign? After all Clacton is one of the biggest recipients of state benefits in the country so it would be significantly affected.

I wonder why he'd want to do that. Which country is next on the list for attack?

Does Farage understand that however the voters of Clacton vote, they don't decide on whether he broke the rules or the level of scrutiny given to a prominent politician. I can't see how it helps him unless he wants to lose so he can continue his grifting unchallenged.

We can debate what is or isn't the right metric but my OP wasn't really about the economy. It was about the divisiveness that's occurred since we voted to leave the EU. Something way more important than the economics. Why don't you start another thread on EU economics if that's important to you.

It's a matter of record that exports, and to a lesser extent imports, reduced significantly since Brexit.

Jerry @grandadjerry.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
Brexit didn't just destroy our relationship with the EU and shrink our economy, it unleashed a tide of racism, sexism, misogyny, hatred and division. Farage and co need to be exposed for what they are and held accountable and not just have a cosy chat on the GMB sofa!

This vile man's true colours were given prime time news coverage today. If his popularity ratings don't drop significantly, it will prove that the voters are as ignorant as their trump supporting counterparts. And the UK will sink to the same depths of corruption and depravity we see in the US.

Absolutely not. I shall do all within my power, such that it is, to prevent it. I'm hoping that the extra scrutiny that will come with Reforms current success in the local elections will be enough for its support to drop away before the general election.
