After today’s reset of UK-EU relations I thought I’d compile a list of the main Brexit Benefits we are now losing. Here is that list in full:

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

Seems it doesn't matter what positive measures Labour Govnt takes - inc. trade deals etc - the MSM is determined to put a negative spin on them. If we're not careful, we'll end up with a Reform Govnt. in 4 years' time.

I recommend everyone watch #TheZelenskyStory on BBCiplayer...especially JD Vance. Zelensky has seen all this before..at a meeting with Putin, moderated by Macron and Merkel..Putin lied and had every intention of invading

A wonderful opportunity for two young people who don't have much by way of cash or connections to get started in (digital) media. I'm a trustee of the charity, founded to commemorate my great mate Andy, who wanted us to help kids like the one he used to be.

There’s a “green shoots” movement underway springing up from the forest fire left by the billionaire classes in main stream media & social media.

Fittingly, as Spring beckons, we can see the growth in outlets like 🦋 and Bylines.

Choose what you fertilise and nurture, for that’s what will flourish

Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social · Jan 26

I find it astounding...Starmer's afraid of backlash from MSM like the Daily Fail et all but he needs to stand firm, especially as the success of his Govnt is predicated on growth
