"In the face of Trump’s threats, Britain’s best path is clearer than ever: hurry back to Europe"

"Economists at LSE found 16,400 firms stopped exporting goods to the EU."

Brexit is punishing the small businesses driving the British economy and employment.

Boycott the World Cup

Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

Lies, lies, and damn lies.

Suggested EU response:

- US airbases now represent an armed presence, inside our borders, of a nation that is openly threatening to invade our territory
- Withdraw the threat or we have no choice but to close those bases
- This turns USA from a global power to a regional one, overnight

I have solved it.

Ha! *Surprised face*

Mary Tiles Texas joined from Russia in September 2022, a few months after its full invasion of Ukraine.

Watch how the Russian trolls now find out ways to set up new “USA“ (UK/French/ Irish etc etc) accounts from place appropriate locations

I grew up in the Netherlands and this kind of infrastructure still blows me away. This is a suburb of Leiden, built in the 70s, with beautiful cycle paths in green corridors through the entire area 👌
Ps. Paths are well lit after dark too btw.

"In narrow economic terms, the claim that the US has emerged the winner from both sets of negotiations is simply false. Tariffs are taxes. Before long, American consumers will pay most if not all of the increase in costs."

Since joining the EU in 2004, Lithuania's GDP per capita rose from 48% to 87% of the EU average. And it continues to grow every year 📈

Our success story is the reason why we're among the most enthusiastic about the EU and its future. 🇪🇺🇱🇹

I don't understand why the administration keeps saying that other countries pay our tariffs. This is simply not true even in the most optimistic scenario (e.g., a US importer negotiates something with their foreign partner). If the policy is good, why lie about it?

The EU will pay 15% tariffs on all goods sold to the U.S.
What they should say is the people in the U.S. buying goods from the EU will be charged 15% more because of a tax added on by Trump.

Agreed. 80 years of US economic & security alliances has been turned into a mafia protection racket. But the mafia boss doesn't even promise to protect you.
It's short term asset stripping of US hard/soft power for immediate gain with no thought about how unsustainable this is over the longer term.

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE.
That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist.
Language has been turned on its head.
The law has been turned on its head.
Murdering children is righteous.
Trying to stop it is terrorism.

This is what Brexit promised - It's all failed @marchforrejoin.co.uk

This must end now!
Everyone needs to hit the streets and fight back ✊
It’s only going to get worse 🤬

So WHAT do people in Battersea think about the key European questions? We're going to find out this Saturday!

💰Billions are hidden in secret offshore accounts by rich tax-dodgers & corporations. British overseas tax havens again miss the deadline to crack down on this dirty money. "oops!"
Meanwhile the UK govt is picking the pockets of pensioners and disabled!

Reform UK's Darren Grimes tells constituents he can't hold surgeries with them because he's been advised by the police not to do so for "security reasons".

The only problem? Police spokesperson says this is entirely untrue and they gave no such advice

Charles Pugsley (19) and Joseph Boam (22), despite having zero experience have been put in charge of Leicestershire County Council’s children’s and adult service. They will be responsible for 75% of the council’s £616 million budget…what could possibly go wrong? 🤔

I've been surprised by how quickly things in the USA have deteriorated.

It makes cosying up really close to the EU an even bigger priority. The US is unlikely to be an honest broker under Trump, and perhaps not for decades to come depending on how much wrecking his team manage.

Trade expert David Henig says that the stats Trump trumpeted on Thursday were “mostly invented” and that the likely gains for the UK will be “microscopic”, compared with the 4% of GDP lost through Brexit.

Farage just said that lower productivity in Wales "says to you that people don't have belief, they haven't got ambition".

Comical misunderstanding of productivity in economics. What it says is: low investment, old tech, poor training, slow transport etc. Not that Welsh people can't be bothered. ~AA
