EU plan to match Trump steel tariffs spurs โ€˜existential threatโ€™ to UK steel industry Starmer says UK in discussions with EU over Brussels plan to double import tariff to 50%, which unions warn could kill UK steel industry

Is this situation not a consequence of Brexit, of the UK leaving the EU? Did not Brexiters complain that the EU was a "protectionist racket"? Do they now complain that the US is also such a "racket"? Difficult to be on the outside of such "rackets".

Keir Starmer has an election trump card that literally nobody is talking about David Cameron did it back in 2015, Keir Starmer could do it again in 2029. With the party suffering, is it time to ask the question again?

Nigel Farage Is a Racist

The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

Nigel Farage is a racist. That is my honestly held opinion based on absolutely everything he has said and done since entering politics in the late nineties.

Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

To be clear @peterwalker99.bsky.social no one cheers an awful policy announcement that makes anyone in our community feel less welcome or at risk of deportation.

What is true is that the Tory party is dead and that the Lib Dems will always stand up for our incredible immigrant communities.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow thatโ€™s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Brexit shitshow latest:

โ€œThe poll adds to the mounting pile of evidence thatโ€ฆ.dogma about regulatory alignment has always been more of an elite obsessionโ€

People want lower bills and less hassle and donโ€™t care about Farageโ€™s ego or agreeing with EU rules. Who knew?

Itโ€™s been obvious for decades of course.

And not just by the Russians.

But by the whole global greed-fuelled neoliberal ecosystem, in an evermore open and coordinated way.

Imagine being the leader of the party which delivered Brexit going into a filmed interview with a Northern Ireland journalist at a time when your competence is being questioned, and not thinking to check how Northern Ireland voted in the EU referendum beforehand.
