Brexit wasn’t a one-off rupture. It was a choice to swap a seat at the captain’s table for a life raft beside the ship. Now EU border controls tighten and truckers, farmers, exporters and shoppers pay the price. We punished ourselves and chose third-country decline. www.politico.eu/article/eu-b...

🆘 A governing party–aligned think tank paying US PR firm to dig into journalists reporting on its funding is deeply troubling. If politics investigating reporters instead of answering questions - problematic “Don’t worry we’re investigating it” is laughable as networks are so closely intertwined.

⏰ This is what US 🇺🇸 interference in Europe looks like: 👿 Orbán says Hungary’s main threat is not Russia 🇷🇺 but the EU. And fresh from Munich, Marco Rubio heads to Budapest. Hungary 🇭🇺 votes in April. If you want to understand the pressure being applied inside Europe right now, essential viewing👇

✅ Clarkson is right, people aren’t voting Reform for policies 👉there aren’t any. It’s a protest vote powered by nostalgia not a plan for future. Reform use farming as a prop. Their real plan is USA trade deal, hormone-treated imports and they’ve appointed Ben Goldsmith 🔗 archive.ph/2026.01.31-0...

Fantastic #BrexitDay thoughts from Ulf in Germany 🇩🇪 on @lbc.co.uk “Let’s put this way: All countries have an upper class, but the British upper class has a country.” “You take your time to learn a lesson. I mean, Nigel Farage might be your next next Prime Minister …. 🧵 👇

The Express hopes people believe that Brexit reality is punishment by the EU, when it was the Express and other right wing press who pushed for Brexit to punish Britain. It is pure misdirection. The EU isn’t “wreaking havoc in revenge”. It’s doing exactly what any economic bloc does: 🧵 👇

And the result of Starmer’s bad decisions is that he’s toast at home and blocking Burnham is unforgivable. By refusing serious EU realignment, he’s weakened 🇬🇧 abroad and left himself exposed domestically: falling confidence, by-election losses, Reform/Greens rising, and Labour tearing itself apart.

The tragedy of Starmerism: had he focused on serious realignment with the EU, UK’s largest market, closest allies and natural regulatory partner, Britain wouldn’t now be reduced to chasing marginal wins in China or trading silence for access. nstead of rebuilding leverage where it actually …

🆘 Finally, confirmation that the Brexit reset is a sham! Despite the rhetoric of Brexit reset and alignment, Labour is now diverging from EU rules more sharply than the Tories ever managed 👉just more quietly and more strategically. 🧵 🔗 ukandeu.ac.uk/labour-burni...

🔥 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the US. 🇺🇸 response: “I’ve met some who disagree. We lead from strength.” That’s not democracy or alliance. Its power deciding consent is optional. This is Brexit argument exported. Power over consent. Anecdote over evidence. Democracy when it agrees with you.

A superpower led by a man delivering incoherent childhood anecdotes instead of policy and global markets are expected to take it seriously. This is what institutional collapse looks like.

Macron’s allies say it plainly: Brexit is why Starmer is weak with Trump. Inside the EU, you have leverage, a market of 460m and a trade bazooka. Outside it, you urge calm while others decide. Brexit left Britain weak and Trump knows it. archive.ph/2026.01.20-1...

Food prices are rising again and The Times blames Ukraine invasion but sidesteps Brexit: 💥 Border friction 💥 Paperwork 💥 Checks 💥 Labour shortages 💥 Higher costs passed down chain These are consequences of leaving frictionless trading bloc which …. 🧵 👇

🆘 “This is the pure hell of Brexit for food exporters.” Toby Ovens of Broughton Transport told MPs at the business & trade committee that Brexit has been a costly and logistic nightmare: Vets chasing lorries. Meat stuck in Calais for a month. £16,000 burned because of a stamp in the wrong place.

📍Calling deregulation “Brexit recovery” doesn’t make it so. It’s a policy choice 👉 a risky one. You can’t claim alignment with EU rules while treating deregulation as “recovery”. One is about shared standards and trust. The other is about regulatory arbitrage. The Brexit reset is hot air!

🇸🇪🇺🇸 Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson on Greenland and Venezuela: The U.S. should thank Denmark, which over the years has been a very loyal ally. In Afghanistan and Iraq, more than 50 Danish soldiers have paid the ultimate price for that loyalty.

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Fantastic news that Andy Burnham has a serious route back to Parliament. Britain desperately needs an alternative to Starmer’s Blue Labour drift, managed decline and permanent triangulation. Labour won’t recover until it remembers who it’s meant to govern for. www.lbc.co.uk/article/andy...

👀 JFK explains why America is sicker, poorer, weaker than Europe - despite spending more than anyone. 🇪🇺 Europe regulates food to protect health 🇺🇸 deregulates food and pays price Starmer & Farage push Britain 🇬🇧 to copy America 👉 chlorinated chicken AND privatise NHS. Only corporations benefit.

‼️ 88% in Coventry poll want to rejoin the EU! 🇬🇧 National polls show a clear majority now think Brexit was a mistake. Local, self-selecting polls show something else too: the people who care most are overwhelmingly done with it. www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/news-op...

🆘 A Brexit “reset” that protects only the City and not pensions, schools, farms, SMEs, NHS or jobs isn’t pro-worker. 🔥 It’s finance first on steroids.

This is dark Pope Leo XIV warns the post-WWII rule that bans invading other countries is being destroyed. While Keir Starmer stays silent and sucks up to Trump, even the Vatican is saying it out loud: might is replacing law and that puts everyone at risk. ⚠️

Farage isn’t promising to fix Britain. He’s promising to stop it being fixed by fighting to keep Brexit. Brexit now survives as grievance management, not economic strategy. Farage lit the Brexit fire. Now he needs it to keep burning. Arsonists don’t rebuild.

You can’t align with Europe while ring-fencing the City. One vetoes the other. Or sharper: The reset stops where the City begins.

🔴 This 👇 is the smoking gun By ruling out EU financial services alignment, Keir Starmer is saying: Britain will not re-anchor its economy to Europe if it constrains the City of London. this blocks everything else 🧵 👇 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Petition 38d.gs/6v7r

Chlorinated chicken is the end point of monopolies geared for maximising profit and lowering costs taken to their extreme, and weak monopoly law and weak consumer rights etc etc. Let that in and you have the US being given free leverage to begin elbowing in everywhere. They'll strip mine us.

Liz is spot on. In a world where the US demands everything it wants like some toddler and refusal attracts bitter recrimination, the only sensible course of action is to join the only bloc geographically and politically aligned to us. The EU can stand up to the US. The UK cannot.

Outrageous. Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards on Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/No-chlor...

🚨 US DEMANDS CHLORINATED CHICKEN 🚨 We were told this would never happen. Now the White House is demanding food standards concessions and the UK is vulnerable because of Brexit. 🎥 Watch ⬇️ Chlorinated Chicken Is Back And Starmer Is Letting It Happen youtu.be/74JNCJ3TxFs

US can keep their tech/AI deal it would have benefitted them more than UK. I don’t want their gigantic data centres to dominate our landscape and for them to have our limited water and power prioritised ahead of UK citizens. The orange felon, a malignant narcissist lies and never keeps promises.

Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.

🚨 This 👇 confirms it. The US is using the collapsed tech/AI deal to force Britain to accept chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef. Food standards are the leverage point and the red line. You can’t align with US tech power and stay aligned with Europe. www.farminguk.com/news/chlorin...

🚨 This is what our money is subsidising. 🇬🇧 pays £1 bn/yr to Drax to burn imported wood and call it “green”. That subsidy - decided by Ed Davey when energy secretary - is now linked to severe pollution and respiratory illness in a poor, largely Black town in Gloster 🇺🇸 🔗 archive.ph/2025.12.27-1...

🚨 James Dyson backed Brexit believing it would protect British 🇬🇧 enterprise, but now Brexit reality threatens Dyson. Leaving the EU gave ministers freedom to gut APR & BPR, protections designed to stop productive businesses being broken up to pay tax.
