Toe in the water over here to see if it’s more…civilised (and less MuskTrumpian)
It’s been ruinously expensive, in more ways than one
It hasn’t worked, big time
It can’t be made to work, ever
It’s time to start on the path to #RejoinEU
“All blindly tribal politics leads to disappointment at best – but much more typically, to something worse”
An important point for the times we’re living in

Farage urged to ‘come clean’ over alleged election spending breaches in Clacton
Well, he certainly overspent on his #Brexit campaign, (mostly Putin’s cash if the rumours are true) so it wouldn’t be a surprise…

“Why are we talking about red lines again? The public has moved on from that. The mood has shifted. A #CustomsUnion is the obvious thing to do. I’d go further, but it’s a starting point”
And this from a Cabinet Minister
Common Sense finally breaks out

“Reducing migration in the way they are doing is an act of economic self-harm, and they are claiming it as a policy success”
This government still can’t shake off a #Brexit mind-set and it’s killing the economy
We all now know that #BrexitBreaksBritain

“Some might call him foolhardy. Calling people you’ve never met a liar on something like this could attract the interest of libel lawyers. Tice’s small fortune could be about to become a little smaller”

And not just racism: “This exposes the damage being inflicted by the government’s unfair and ill-conceived immigration changes. An urgent rethink to these policies is needed”
Make no mistake, this ugly trend started with #Brexit
Yet another reason to reverse it

The world has changed radically and something has to give
Breaking them would clearly be unpopular, however
Except for one
Most people would now want to #RejoinTheSingleMarket to lift the economy

“£17.8bn spent on gas transmission and distribution networks in the five years to 2031, with a further £10.3bn used to strengthen the UK’s high-voltage electricity network”
Am I alone in thinking that this is the wrong way round?

UK using more wood to make electricity than ever, Drax figures show
I’ve always been dubious about this type of generation
After all, coal is just ancient biomass
It’s dodgy, expensive, it pollutes and it’s #NotZero

“Starmer dismisses any notion of a strategic choice between Europe and the US. He doesn’t expect that Washington and Brussels will make incompatible claims on Britain’s allegiance in matters of trade or security. (They surely will.)”

“Britain has the renewable resources to power a new industrial age. What it lacks is the will to redesign a system still tethered to its fossil-fuel past.
Until that changes, the paradox will remain: a nation rich in clean energy, but poor in how it’s used”

Starmer: UK still facing consequences of #Brexit vote's 'wild promises'
So the PM can finally bring himself to publicly acknowledge #BrexitShambles, but has no plan that’s going anywhere fast to deal with it
He needs to U-turn, and #RejoinTheSingleMarket
