Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.
My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

Brexit and support for Farage's narrative have destroyed the Tory Party, reducing it to just 14 seats at the next election! The same will happen to Labour if they continue doing the same.

Only just heard about #MikeGraham sacking almost 2 weeks ago, but I guess that comes with him being a nobody in a tiny echo chamber.
I did wonder what karma event might finish him, figured it would either be a lifestyle related coronary or being sued penniless. Never figured on the obvious though.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”
“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”
You can have those for nothing, lads.

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier.
No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

Very amusing to watch Reform complain about all the things wrong with the UK - every one caused by Brexit - without actually mentioning Brexit, as if they happened by magic.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

They pretend others only "perform" politics, while their own candidate represents the purity of political passion and self-sacrifice.
They class the supporters of other parties as mindless sheep, while describing their own cult as the only ones who "understand the issues".
