#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. Brexit: Crime of the Century

Farage doesn't like it up him. For more of stuff like this, read this book.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ 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 dangerousโ€ฆ

The comparison of Northern Ireland vs Britain economically since Brexit is an inconvenient reality for Brexitists and should be highlighted more.
๐Ÿšจ EXPLAIN THIS! Northern Ireland kept access to the EU goods market. Since 2019: ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Northern Ireland: +12.7% ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 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? ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

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
Putler: Crimea is not disputed territory, and ruZZia has long recognised the modern-day borders of Ukraine. Once a KGB thug and liar, always a KGB thug and liar....

Brexit is so fundamental who can take seriously anyone who still believes in it? Especially now that itโ€™s 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.

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.
Why aren't Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and Helen Whately not under investigation for mass manslaughter? @andyburnham The fact that they aren't is deeply unsettling. Are government ministers immune from prosecution? Do we have no protection against government misconduct?
