Exceptionalism is the British disease. To put it on terms the political class may understand. If you leave your club do they let you in immediately with no terms?
No thought not.

Thú is exactly the kind of misinformation from @andrewhaglington.bsky.social that will stop the UK actually making the effort of acceed like other countries have.
Firstly, France and Germany did not offer a special deal, because this is not their perogative - applications go through Brussels.

Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

Brexit’s impact: Brexit has imposed a large and persistent cost on the UK economy. By 2025, we estimate that UK GDP per capita was 6–8% lower than it would have been without Brexit. Investment was 12–18% lower, employment 3–4% lower, and productivity 3–4% lower. ukandeu.ac.uk/brexits-impa...

Isn’t it interesting that the best communicator is politics can’t find the right words?
Nigel Farage, leader of the party who claim to care deeply about women’s equality, yesterday described bbc broadcaster Emma Barnett as a ‘lower grade’ presenter for asking questions about his alleged historic H*tler fanboying.

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

Irony, the pure irony.
Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

@adambienkov.bsky.social raises important questions over the funding of political parties. Especially Reform.
Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.
He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

As @viviane49.bsky.social accurately states if the Tories/Reform win would the last person put please turn off the lights.
The Tories want to be in power asap. They want the money back in their control.
For that reason they will do a deal with Reform.
Reform can’t win without the Tories.
There is no ambiguity. The Tories/Reform plan to be the next Gov.
And our Country does not need them again
