I wonder what those local farmers think about Farage's close mate who represented North Wales for UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK, and who just got 10.5 years for accepting pro-Russia bribes instead of helping local farmers.

For all his faults Blair was a great communicator and always seemed to enjoy being in the media spotlight. Starmer seems to be the opposite. Not a great communicator and always seems uncomfortable in the media spotlight.

This research is important because it corroborates what we already knew - that when comparing the UK to peer economies, it has had a big slowdown since 2016. It does so with firm-level data and finds more EU-connected firms have sizeable shortfalls in productivity and investment compared to less.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

I don’t know why Labour are worried about upsetting the press. It’s not as if they are basking in praise from the current majority of right wing media. Nor are they ever going to get their approval - so might as well start looking to make changes.
