Brexit costs the government around £90bn.
Without Brexit we could have tax cuts and spending increases. We would have hope & optimism, not gloom & despair.
Brexit harms the British people, especially the poor & vulnerable. No politician can support Brexit and claim to care for ordinary people.

We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe
Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

Because of Trump’s rhetoric and propaganda, people actually get hurt.
He knows what he’s doing.
When he uses words like “punishable by death.”
This sends a clear message to incels and psychopaths.

UK gambling industry made £15.6bn in 2024 (£16.8bn in 2025)
Most companies holed up in Gibraltar & Malta, dodge UK taxes. Some pay corporation tax at the rate of 3%-4%. No VAT on gambling.
Public bears the cost of gambling addiction.
Firms resent paying extra tax to clear their mess.

It’s astonishing that Nigel Farage hasn’t been forced to resign as an MP and as leader of Reform - any other MP or party leader would have been hounded out by all of this evidence of racism and antisemitism, so why is he still in post…?
