🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

80-90% of crime is caused by poverty, outside of Murders and Rapes, it is all driven by the need for money.
The increase in crime in the UK has nothing to do with lack of Police or leniency of the law.
And everything to do with crushing poverty caused by greedy billionaires.

Bottom line: we can rejoin. It won't necessarily take a very long time.

A reminder that Wind and Solar energy is now more than 8x cheaper than Fossil Fuel.
But of course much of that 7/8ths are Fossil Fuel's massive profits.
Which is why they're desperate for Fossil Fuel not to die.
