09.12.2025 15:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'm not convinced this is a good idea at present because the counter argument is it opens up UK to a Trump trade war we'd have no control over.
It'd be better to make the case to include the Single Market as well as a more robust package.

Btw, the agricultural sector disagrees with you.
FFS. If the far right had been this lukewarm and timid, they'd never have got their Brexit! This isn't the time to say what CAN'T be done, it's a time to decide what you want and to fight to make it happen. It's time to grasp that politics is the art of the possible! Fortune favours the brave!

Gonna be a hard sell given that it would open UK up to a Trump trade war.
Might as well go the whole hog and include Single Market.
What should the minimum wage be increased to, and what's the analysis of such a raise?
Or the issue isn't cheap labour, it's Brits refusing to do certain work.
But a Customs union that would be effected by a Trump trade war is unlikely to fly.

Without it you wonder how they can properly assess the benefits or not of any of the options they are currently looking at or may look at in the future

That there are now more people alive in the UK that voted Remain in 2016 than those who voted Leave in 2016.

So this week shall I write about how killing unarmed civilians is murder or about how unwise it would be to limit the human right against torture.
