2003 all over again.

WMDs all over again.

Puke

It wasn't a dream.

We did it 🏆

BBC News sum up gains for the UK

£2 billion - CPTPP
£5 billion - India
£9 billion - EU

However, keeping the UK outside an UK-EU Customs Union, and access to the EU Single Market costs us £140 billion a year

So yes, £9 billion is great, but nowhere near the £140 billion we have lost due to Brexit

👀

Look like we might need to chat about a bit to the final…

🤞🏼

When do you have the next meet up planned for? Thursdays can be tricky for me but I'm going to try and make the next one

That would be great! The salmon just opened in didsbury and were happy to have us, me and a few mates, for the Sevco game. I'd be happy to jump on the train into town in future if you can get them to show games in town. Would be great to watch will fellow dons!!

@lancashiredons.bsky.social dunno if anyone in the group is in south Manchester but I’m trying to get The Salmon of Knowledge Didsbury to show the game. Be good to see some fellow Dandies if anyone’s in the area for the game tomorrow. #coyr

Aye it’s all total bollocks.

In case you missed it ...
Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

'If the media dedicated a fraction of the energy to explaining economic impacts of Brexit, that it's displayed in explaining the potential economic impacts of Trump's tariffs...nobody would be as daft as David.'

@mrjamesob.bsky.social sends his first texter of the day to Idiots' Corner.

How much has Brexit shrunk it?

Labour have fucked this...

It’s 2025 so please can people stop saying the following -

- Brexit was the ‘will of the people’ (it was the will of 52% of those who voted in 2016).

- what about misandry? (In convos about misogyny)

- U.K. shouldn’t do anything about climate change until China does.

Bore off back to 2017.

It’s austerity 2.0

Surely if you tax the super rich to make up the deficit for defence spending everyone wins. The rich are more likely to have investments in companies associated with weapons manufacturing. Therefore you tax them but they get the money back in a round about way through investments they hold?

They’re so overly confident. Scotland will go back to snp. Young people will go green or reform and labour will lose a low of seats. All because they think keeping the status quo and not having sweeping changes is the way to go. Everyone will be sick of them come 2028

He’s a rat!

Boooooo Labour are rubbish. Boooooo!!

I thought that. Was back in Abz from Manchester last week and it was a dead zone down there. Sad to see.

Tell us you’re us Russian asset without telling us, Donald!

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Get us back in the EU asap. 2025 is the turning point. Unfortunately the US can’t be trusted anymore.

The president is a Russian operative!!!

Trump traitor to the world. USA scum

Starmer better sort his shit out. Fuck the USA! Fuck your special relationship. We need the EU NOW!!
