Yes because it was trusted at home & internationally, & if it goes it will most likely replaced by news with an agenda, corporate-sponsored news or propaganda. I know it is suffering at the moment, but we should try to save it.

Step 1 should be replace the stooges at the top.

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – 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.

Right: After his first budget, where he didn't scrap the cap, he suspended 7 Labour MPs, for doing what he's arguing for today

I'm at a Kemi Badenoch event where *yet again* the Guardian has not got a question. Aside from broadcasters it was Mail, Sun and FT (the latter presumably only because we're at an accountancy body in the City). I've probably been to seven or eight such events with no question.

Instead of the Treasury gaining Β£350m / week as the Quitlings promised, it's losing about 5 times that amount in lost taxes due to the Brexit damage to GDP.

Time for rejoining to be put on the table and for the Brexit (mis)leaders to be ignored politically and then properly investigated.

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.

Told you so! The Telegraph denounces Brexit as 'unmitigated economic disaster' We've now got The Telegraph joining the Brexit resistance, after the formerly pro-leave paper ripped into its 'near-disastrous' consequences.

Alongside declining polls for Reform, the good news about the Telegraph’s volte face on Brexit is that it gives Labour political cover from the far right to reapply to rejoin the EU. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/the...

Brexit costs the government around Β£90bn.

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.

Tire Sizing Systems Several different systems of size markings for bicycle tires are in existence. The modern ISO system is not as familiar as it should be, this article explains it.

This helped me, but it all seems daft. The bit that I liked was that 0.75 does not equal three quarters!

If you look at the ridiculous case studies they dredged up & the desperate attempts to hang Reeves for β€˜lying’ about the rationale behind a policy she *did not introduce*, you might work out why right-wing media is straining *not* to talk about the finer detail of her (unremarkable) budget.
