Iβm very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform β we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

Time for rejoining to be put on the table and for the Brexit (mis)leaders to be ignored politically and then properly investigated.
δΈ THE SUNDAY TIMES RYAN BOURNE We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK's malaise, and it's no use denying it
The microeconomic, firm-level data is crystal clear that Brexit has had a significant, depressive impact. The authors use the Bank of England's decision-maker panel - about 7,000 firms surveyed - to show that the more EU-exposed a company was, the more likely it cut investment and slowed hiring after the referendum. By 2023, average business investment was 12 per cent lower than otherwise. Productivity within firms was 3 to 4 per cent weaker. Roughly half of firms listed Brexit as a top source of uncertainty for years after the vote. Yes, remainer foot-dragging in parliament exacerbated this uncertainty. But wherever you ascribe blame, managers devoted hours each week to planning for new post-Brexit customs arrangements, regulation and precautionary stockpiles. This displacement activity weakened innovation, delayed investment and distracted managers from core business.
The scale of the Brexit damage forces the less dishonest Brexiters to admit reality.

Without Brexit we could have tax cuts and spending increases. We would have hope & optimism, not gloom & despair.
Brexit harms the British people, especially the poor & vulnerable. No politician can support Brexit and claim to care for ordinary people.
This helped me, but it all seems daft. The bit that I liked was that 0.75 does not equal three quarters!
