#Brexit was nothing beyond a criminal enterprise. There was a plan and a goal. First, the anti EU grooming, then the scamming with false promises and a pernicious swarm of outright lies, before finally a multi-billion pound looting of the Treasury.

๐ท๐บ A rare confession from a Putin propagandist: Russia can no longer launch an offensive!
Blogger Mikhail Zvinchuk ("Rybar"), speaking live on "Soloviev Live," stated that the Russian offensive in Ukraine has been paralyzed by Ukrainian drones.
Furthermore, there is no possibility of resolving the situation through additional mobilization.
- 120 km: the depth at which Ukrainian drones are pulverizing Russian logistics trucks, one by one.
- Over 100 km: the depth at which Russian logistics were destroyed during the Ukrainian "Vivaldi" counteroffensive.
His words are almost poetic:
"Right now, first and foremost, there are no men. We lack the forces and resources for a major offensive. (...) If large columns were to advance, it would be impossible to ensure their control or security. (...) Even isolated vehicles are being taken out 120 km behind the lines. Just imagine what would happen if they were large columns."
In other words: even the Russian army acknowledges that massing forces at the front is suicidal.
And dispersing them is just as dangerousโฆ

The comparison of Northern Ireland vs Britain economically since Brexit is an inconvenient reality for Brexitists and should be highlighted more.

๐จ EXPLAIN THIS! Northern Ireland kept access to the EU goods market.
Since 2019:
๐ช๐บ Northern Ireland: +12.7%
๐ฌ๐ง UK: +6.3%
Almost DOUBLE the economic growth.
If leaving the EU was supposed to make us richer, why is Northern Ireland showing the Sunlit uplands are in the EU? ๐ช๐บ

Let's never forget that Putin said Russia had no territorial claim on Crimea or any disagreement about Ukraine's border. Putin lies like Trump. No peace promises he might make can be trusted. Only force and the very real threat of force will maintain the peace. Anything less will be hot air. โ at Brighton, England
Hopefully a northern leaning PM will get HS2 powering beyond Brum. Ending in the Midlands undermines the benefits.
Brexit is so fundamental who can take seriously anyone who still believes in it?
Especially now that itโs actually happened. No unicorns a-prancing the sunlit uplands just cost, waste, division and lost personal rights.
Farage, Johnson and Gove
Remember them, history will.
May not only signed off on a Brexit she knew to be compromised
She failed to introduce the bureaucracy necessary to control free-movement despite having 7 years as Home Secretary.
Sheโs only got away with it because others like Johnson were even worse.

There is a civil servant somewhere who knows that the setting up of that VIP lane delayed getting PPE to hospitals. This must have happened because they ignored existing suppliers. There will be an exact line from those delays to deaths.

This is must watch. It's from an oversight committee hearing in 2024. It is the most powerful takedown I believe I've ever seen. This is the real Byron Donalds when confronted. Jamie Raskin was masterful.

But not to know that a ยฃ60M commission to crony Mone et al for sourcing ยฃ200M of low spec PPE in China during covid was an outrage?
Either not so clever or corrupt AF?
