Between 2019 and 2024 in real terms EU exports grew by 11%.

UK exports also grew. By 0.89%.

That's the total. Goods exports were lower in real terms in 2024 than in 2014.

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

About 50 cops to arrest one man in a wheelchair.

I'm glad we have our priorities right.

Donald Trump's visit is estimated to cost the UK £15-25m.

That is enough for 500-800 Nurses, or 200-300 Doctors.

So a War Criminal, suspected pedophile can come and trash the UK.

"We’ve done ... 25 or 30 projections since we’ve been going. Often the police come along & we have a chat to them, and they .. occasionally tell us to not do it.
But no one’s ever been arrested before, so it is ridiculous that four of our guys have been arrested for malicious communications"

Zoe Gardiner, "The saddest thing I've heard about Trump's visit, is that he is going to get his golden carriage ride, but in private, because the great British public would have given him the rotten tomato treatment if he dared to show his face in public"

Trump is coming to the UK to AVOID the EPSTEIN story. Unfortunately the British public just crowdfunded the WORLD’S BIGGEST PHOTO of Donald with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

And here is right outside Windsor Castle, where Trump is staying with the King this week.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.
