Our economic woes are caused by Brexit, (Ukraine), Covid, Brexit’s ugly baby - our dismal immigration policy, Truss budget, 14yrs of austerity…
All rightwing policies.

If, like me, you've always opposed Brexit, this article is a must read.
Brexit.
Ten years have passed. Arguments raged. Our economic issues were due to global shocks.
But no, new data shows UK falling behind 33 comparable countries.
We took back control - straight into a self inflicted economic slowdown.

More powerful evidence of the disaster of #Brexit from @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social. If we’re to avoid yet more austerity, we need to start by rejoining the customs union & single market. Brexit was a reckless waste of money we simply can’t afford @europeanmovement.co.uk

Are you watching @danaldridgemp.bsky.social please please take note.
Nigel Farage is actually quoted as saying that the Home Secretary ‘sounds like a Reform supporter’ with these horrible policies. She probably thinks that’s a good thing - most right minded people think it’s a disgrace.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

This is a terrific thread showing precisely why our media (all of it imo) cannot be trusted.

The good will and extensive political capital they were granted have been burned through, faster than their beloved aviation fuel.
All that remains now is a shell of deluded loyalists trying to defend the indefensible.
