Ryan Bourne, a member of the Economists for Brexit* cabal that the Leave camp depended on to make their economic case for leaving, has written a long article in the Times admitting to the damage that Brexit has caused.

"One of the terrible ironies is that Reform’s leader, Nigel Farage, is now capitalising on the unpopularity of a government whose laudable aims have been frustrated by the economic damage caused by a Brexit behind which he was the prime mover." ~AA

Are you MAGAs confused? Mamdani in the White House?
Let me clear up your confusion. You were never part of the grift. You have always been, just another stupid MARK for Trump to exploit. MAGA isn't real. Never was. You can't con an honest person, so you lying sacks were the real targets all along.

Well that could be any number of russian/Chinese/USA money taking ones.

Perhaps we should expand that Russian money investigation into a general foreign money one.
Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Notable in today's YouGov that the centre/left bloc - Lab/Green/LD/SNP are on 54%. With Reform/Tories on 43%. That's the biggest differential in a long time.

I think useful to track blocs given instability between parties at the moment.

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".

He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

▪️ If it's an immigrant...
"See!"

▪️ If it's not an immigrant, but they're not white (or don't have a white British name)...
"See! Next generation of immigrants!"

▪️ If it's a white guy with a British name...
"See! See what these immigrants made good peaceful people do?!"

Dominic Grieve’s response to Nigel Farage’s ‘let’s leave the ECHR’ stunt in parliament is spot on.

Brexit: resurrecting the highest of barriers to trade, prosperity, growth & movement (of freight, services & people) across them,without removing either of these barriers elsewhere,was always going to fuck the UK.

I have, in fact, encountered several anonymous accounts over the last 5-6 months who have given out bad tear gas advice and I suspect that they may have done so on purpose.

When in doubt, come to me for the straight dope.
