🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨

Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%.

Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit.

Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.

And all within Starmer's red lines.

I’m worried sick about patient safety as highly trained clinicians are replaced by 2yr-trained associates. Does this make me a “social media rabble”? Or is the “be kind” movement being cynically weaponised? Those monitoring my posts, put this on the agenda for the meeting you’ve asked me to attend.

Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it.
As if they negotiated something good.
As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since.
As if the EU wasn’t an ally.
Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

A brilliant analysis of the epic Brexit failure. Scorn for the liars and solidarity for the rest of us.

“We lost something intangible and yet priceless, something we might never get back: an idea of our country.”

Heartbreaking, enraging and yet, still hopeful.
