Why is the Prime Minister ignoring his own Chief Economic Advisor, who recommended a Customs Union with the EU to boost growth?
Instead he's choosing to hike taxes in a cost of living crisis.

🚇🇮🇹 Visiting Naples' new Monte Sant'Angelo station & new Line 7.
Public art & transport come together in this amazing station by the university.
Good to see a basic service despite line & 4 stations incomplete, while GB struggles with no trains on open E-W Rail.

In case you missed it ...
This message from Tom Watson on what Labour SHOULD be saying about Europe is as relevant today as it was in when he made it in 2019. All you have to do is replace the threat of a Boris Johnson premiership with the threat of a Nigel Farage one.

The only 'peace' which Russia will accept is one which carves up Ukraine's territory, destroys its sovereignty and turns it into vassal state for Putin to plunder.
We Europeans cannot let that happen.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
