Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier.
No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

We can’t let the Tories sabotage this once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the world of work | Angela Rayner The employment rights bill is in the Commons today. As Zohran Mamdani’s victory shows, people are desperate for policies that actually improve lives, says Labour MP Angela Rayner

Reform/Tories hate the Employment Rights Bill as it gives workers a bit more control over their lives.
They also moan about how many people are off work, sick and Farage says NMW is too high

“being pro-worker is not a barrier to success, but a launchpad to it.”

The UK Must Urgently Distance Itself From Elon Musk and Space X, Warns Parliamentary Report The UK's infrastructure has become far too reliant on the far-right billionaire, who could 'politicise' our reliance upon his companies, the report warns

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Nige is no longer laughing at himself as he ‘performs’ yet another big speech | John Crace Reform leader is trying to make it as a mainstream politician – which involves contradicting himself and gaslighting voters

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage - the foghorn of failure.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Productivity 'The money machine is misfiring': City blames Brexit for UK's £20Bn productivity headache Poor output since the leave vote has landed Rachel Reeves with a bigger-than-forecast budget spending gap

However, experts say it is increasingly clear that Brexit has played a significant role, exacerbating the post-2008 slump by hitting sectors with EU ties, and as the political turmoil led businesses to put investments on ice. Erecting tougher trade barriers with the UK's largest partner is expected to cut Britain's long-term productivity by about 4% relative to a remain scenario. The OBR could update this estimate at the 26 November budget. Business investment has flatlined since the Brexit referendum

Farage is due to make a speech today about his new economic policy.. (having been laughed out of the room with his last one)…
Let’s just take a quick look at his ideological track record…
And then put all his ideas straight into the shredder.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Kamala Harris ~ “We refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant…We believe in the Constitution. We believe in the power of the vote. And we are prepared, when necessary, to fight fire with fire.”

The current ‘reset’ with the EU is pathetic!
“By the government’s own estimate the reset of EU-UK trade will deliver just 0.3 per cent uplift to UK GDP by 2030 — less than one-tenth of the 4 per cent long-run hit to GDP that Brexit will cause, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility” FT
