Fed up with brexit. My Rule No 1 : Never trust a tory. My Rule No 1(a) : Never trust anyone who claims to have legitimate concerns - they don't. Just one cat left now.

Salary sacrifice is a disreputable tax dodge that needs to be ended.

Immigration, indecency, and incompetence. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. The ever-more indecent terms of the immigration 'debate' are another failure of Brexit, which links to the ever-more obvious incompetence of Reform in local government: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/immi...

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by β€˜ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

It's not a grassroots working class movement.

"Wherever we looked for prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler."

β€˜The money machine is misfiring’: City blames Brexit for UK’s Β£20bn productivity headache Poor output since the leave vote has landed Rachel Reeves with a bigger-than-forecast budget spending gap

City blames Brexit for UK’s Β£20bn productivity headache.

But silence on its own role in economic crisis.
Short-termism and lack of investment
Endless financial scandals
Pushed for privatization.
Urged deal wage/benefit cuts
Opposes redistribution of income and wealth
Unchecked fat-cattery

What's the point of employing someone to do a job if you're then going to do the work anyway? I suspect this caller has a bee in his bonnet about Ms Reeves.

Do we yet know how the partner of a political party leader managed to buy a very expensive house in the Clacton?
Or are we to worry instead about someone not doing the work of a letting agency they've employed?

Oh FFS! I'm surprised that anyone still wants to stand for election in this country. Endless witch hunts over trivial matters that grown ups can easily put to one side is making the country ungovernable.

Slightly affectionate in that he brings back memories of well-meaning Wolfie Smith and the populist "power to the people" slogans of his Tooting Popular Front. 😁

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.
