Dave Sumner Smith People are realising Brexit is a disaster and there will soon be a general election

Profoundly disingenuous framing.

Politicians who knowingly waste the nation’s time and money pursuing dud policies so that they can then spin disinformation as below - should never hold office.

This kind of gibberish is absolutely corrosive to our nation.

Yet another politician who doesn't understand the massive difference between a 'trade deal' and membership of the Single Market which enables a Customs Union.

Well said Andrea. A vote for Labour is a vote against Brexit. Very clear.

'We actually didn't raise (trade) barriers, the EU did. That was one of the risks we were aware of, there might be some retaliation for us leaving'

So Kemi Badenoch thought it was proper for the UK to keep enjoying all the benefits of the EU SM after leaving it? Is she mad?

This is why I've moved my own car insurance from Direct Line to AA. I felt that Direct Line was exploiting the fact that I'd opted for automatic renewal, which has worked OK in previous years. But extortion loses them customers

A big moment as a current Tory MP and former cabinet member says on Peston that “I would vote Remain now”. Rejoin inches closer, slowly but surely.

Anyone else wish Rishi Sunak would just get on with the election so we didn’t have to hear any more from the highly talented bunch of Conservative MPs whose daily comedy act has long since grown stale?

So much winning this Brexit reality is the gift which keeps giving to ensure less British people enjoy longevity.

So at #PoliticsLive we have Chris Bryant telling Stewart Jackson 🇮🇱🇬🇧🇺🇦 they MUST deliver the frictionless trade promised at the #Brexit referendum, whilst also ruling out the UK rejoining the SM or the EU.

Tell us Chris, what sort of frictionless trade can there be outside the SM?

NEXTA I am convinced that Japan can send some of their Patriot systems to Ukraine.. They also manufacture interceptors for the system.

The US also has older Patriot systems that they can send to Ukraine. 🤷‍♂️

Resources exist but the political will is lacking!

❗️ Choosing between helping Ukraine and arming themselves, NATO members should choose Ukraine - Stoltenberg

' #NATO countries have a sufficient number of air defense systems that could be transferred to #Ukraine ,' the secretary-general has said.

It was also reported that NATO

Only so many ways to say 'told you so' I guess?
I suppose when I (& my logistics industry generally) said there'd be food & medicine shortages ♿️🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🕸️⚫️MaiaB (progressively more as Brexit get more 'done') it *did* sound like Project Fear. Now Project Here. theguardian.com/science/2024/a…

'I find it beyond depression to the point where it's truly sad.'

British comedian Ben Elton shares his thoughts on the recent 'resurgence' of 'idiotic person' Liz Trus

We’ve done another! We couldn’t resist this one. Liz Truss on Fox News! It’s so brilliant to collaborate with the hilarious Matt Green 🙌

'It is time for the European awakening on defence and security.

Because there is much at stake here.

Our freedom and our prosperity depend on our security and we have to bring our actions in line with this changing security environment.'

— Keynote speech by President…

A police force that no longer investigates burglary, robbery or theft anymore is investigating the sale of a former council house nine years ago instead

Yes, 100% this. Well said, Liz Truss

In fact there was a recent case of an unelected Prime Minister trashing British mortgages all over the UK, by following hare-brained personal economic fancy, pushed by opaquely funded lobbyists, with zero democratic mandate behind it. Nuts.

Farrukh Sophy Ridge It’s exactly what they did with Brexit, it went on and on and by 2019 people just wanted an end of it, I don’t need to tell you how well that’s going.

Sophy Ridge You sound as if it's something you both want and can't wait to see happen, even if out of frustration.

The reason it's been held back is because it breaches a variety of international treaty obligations not to mention UK law.

We shouldn't be wanting it to happen because we've…
