🔻 UK cannot rejoin single market while tied to Trump-model pharma and IP regime.
🔻 UK cannot negotiate SPS alignment or customs union if it’s diverging through live U.S. negotiation.
🔻 UK cannot pursue “reset” if it is signing away regulatory sovereignty piecemeal.
This is the smoking gun 😡

Just gone onto a bank account I don't use much. It has "log on/log off". I find it jarring and old-fashioned.

When you hear what Rachel Reeves has in store in the Budget, remember that there were ALWAYS other choices.
Labour have deliberately and consciously chosen to ignore the fact that Brexit is draining up to £90 billion a year from the UK economy.
That's a gap no amount of taxation can fill.

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.
This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

Rachel Reeves will freeze fuel duty to dodge ‘political suicide’
The chancellor will also highlight a rise in the minimum wage and plans to cut energy bills as she tries to win over voters by focusing on cost of living

The 5p “emergency” petrol tax cut was introduced in March 2022, to offset a spike in prices
They are now about 30p down on that month, & about 50p down on the absolute peak
