Brexit was never about regaining our borders, sovereignty, cheaper food etc. It was to protect the money of the rich held in tax havens. Once we accept that as being the driver, then it all makes perfect sense. There never were any opportunities, it was for the benefit of the 1%.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

The PM being asked in an interview about scandals in Reform & Farage's (lack of) response.
"He hasn't got the spin to call it out" - criticism of Farage for the failure to call out racism within Reform & the failure to explore the links between Russia & Reform.
Why won't Farage clean up his party?
