In June of 2016 FullFact answered the question "has the EU shrunk as a percentage of the world economy?", showing a 40-year view of EU GDP by PPP and proving that it had indeed consistently shrunk. This morning i've updated the chart for 2024. fullfact.org/europe/eu-has-…

If the EU is such a good thing... Why were Polish farmers out on a national protest yesterday against a trade deal the EU has been negotiating for 25 years, in nearly 200 locations across the country? notesfrompoland.com/2025/12/30/pol…

Wes Streeting announced with glee the introduction of 800 ambulances to the NHS 3 months early! Great news! No mention of course they were ordered by Tories in 2023. A classic example of politics being too collegiate, as expressed by Lady May & Lord Blunkett this AM.

Mini Eggs this year down in size to just 74g (down from 80g last year and 113g a few years ago) and price £1.74. At this rate they will be selling by the individual egg in a few years #GamesGone

From today and Monday, what we can deduce is that Darnell Furlong hates left wingers even more than Nigel Farage does #ITFC

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT - FTSE 100 is not an accurate baometer of the UK economy. 60% of the earnings are $ related and about 10% Euro related. If Labour want to claim credit, the Gov't should start DEREGULATING financial services PDQ to put the CITY of LONDON in the vanguard!

Tell you for nothing FTSE 100’s good fortune has zero to do with Labour policies. It’s an international index with 60% dollar related earnings & circa 10% Euro earnings. The rest comes from defence, mining, banking (all largely $ related earnings) and inflation

Any politician campaigning to Rejoin the EU is effectively saying 'I am a failure. I cannot do the job I was democratically elected to do. I need supervision and control. And I want to be supervised by unelected unaccountable anti democratic Brussels Bastards'

Labour are doing it again!!! Claiming credit for 6 cuts in interest rates and cutting inflation. Most serious economic observers know that it’s the Bank of England and the MPC that have delivered the improvement!!!

Not only did PM Starmer claim credit for the fall in inflation and the stock market rally in his interview with BBC'S Laura Kuenssberg, but he also had the temerity to try and hang the banking crisis on the previous government, when it happened under Labour's rule! Staggering!

I’m not allowed to say it in Parliament, but I can here: today the Prime Minister lied and lied and lied again. And he did so to smear a man defending our veterans in court against the Labour government. Labour have attacked everyone from farmers, to businesses, to veterans, so

Poor Bawl Pristow got a mighty big gob but can’t stand it when you bend to his opinion. A perfect reason why we shouldn’t rejoin as those that support have no idea what’s involved in doing. What a cockwomble.
