Brexit wasn’t an election.

It wasn’t even a referendum because the only referendum we had was advisory.

This was a government decision, and not even a parliamentary one.

So don’t let them compare it to elections. It’s really not.

The only betrayal of the British people is keeping Brexit.

It's funded by Tory donors and supporters like Bamford and Rocco Forte among many others.

Surprised BBC 'journalists' and presenters don't make this clear

A screenshot of a Telegraph article headline. The Telegraph’s blackletter masthead appears at the top, followed by the navigation bar (“News”, “Sport”, “Business”, “Calculators”, “More”). Below it, under the Business section, is a bold headline by Jeremy Warner that reads: “Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure.” Beneath the title is a sub-heading stating that leaving the EU has reduced Britain’s GDP by up to 8%, according to a US study. The layout is clean, white, and typical of a UK broadsheet article page.

The Telegraph admits that Brexit has been a disaster a mere 9 years after the vote.

Very demure.
Very mindful.
Very brave.

I’ve been sparing people from the dreadful dirge since 1978. I get them from charity shops (don’t pay for them, obvs!) by saying if I buy this, can I have MoK for free - never any argument - just so I can do this!

People often ask me 'Can the UK rejoin the EU while shackled by 86 deregulated Free Zones?
No, it can't, the UK would have to realign its free zones with the EU Parliament's regulations, which prohibit the use of State aid for profit motives, why?

Excellent article by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social on how autocratic "serially bad negotiator" Trump is taking an axe to the post-WW2 order, with dangerous implications for Ukraine.

Europe must build the unity & strength to prevail in this bleak new world.
