Weren’t they supposed to celebrate?
It's six years today since Britain left the EU.
I wrote this on Brexit day in 2020, about the strategic dilemmas to which European membership had once been the answer and that would now reopen once Britain left.
I'd stand by most of it today.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The Brexit latest seems to have moved from strong independent sovereign nation to country entirely dependant on US funding and defence for its survival. Thanks.

This was a botched Budget by a Chancellor who’s diagnosed the disease but won’t administer the cure.
Despite promises to cut the cost of living and grow the economy, the Government still refuses to fix our trade relationship with Europe and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole.

The devastating effects of Brexit continue to build
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!

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:
1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech.
2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.
