In case you missed it
The UK used to grow 2% every year
Since Brexit it's been 0.1% every year
Boris Johnson called Brexit 'the sunlit uplands'
Nigel Farage in 2016 said, 'economicaly, we'd be better off than where we are today'
Time to rejoin the EU
Victoria Derbyshire, "What did we learn about our living standards?"
Ben Chu, "1% growth over 10 years"
"We used to grow 2% every year"
That's one way of illustrating the enormous economic price Britain has paid for Brexit #RejoinEU
The OBR estimates that Brexit will leave the UK economy around 4% smaller in the long run than it would otherwise have been, with both imports and exports taking a substantial hit.
We were promised greater prosperity, more opportunities and a stronger economy outside the EU. Instead, we've added significant trade barriers with our largest trading partner during a period of extraordinary economic stagnation.
Brexit isn't responsible for every economic problem Britain faces, but it has made the challenge of improving living standards considerably harder.
And ordinary households are living with the consequences of that decision.

Did anyone doubt for a second that if career criminal, violent thug and drug addict Tommy Robinson, whose convictions go back 20 years, were found guilty by a jury of 12, the usual suspects would immediately claim it was all part of some conspiracy?

Oh Lordy. @EssexPR, you really are a dumbass. Tommy Robinson is a pseudonym. It is not his legal given name. That is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. In 1982, David Paulden legally changed his name by deed poll to Zack Polanski. If you are still struggling to understand that, I could write it in Crayon for you.

The right condemned David Lammy when he planned to abolish jury trials in England and Wales
Now the right are angry that a jury trial found Tommy Robinson guilty of harassing two journalists
These people are as thick as mince

This guy is really, really funny. 🤣
Comparing Yaxley-Lemon to Martin Luther King shows his extreme ignorance.
Give us a laugh though.
Tommy Robinson is a thuggish criminal.
Good riddance.

Just a reminder that if you are wearing poppy badges, suits, socks or even knickers that are not sold by the RBL you are not supporting ex service personnel or being a patriot, you are indulging in performative bullshit.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All jury trials are 12 randomly selected members of the British public, it's literally a corner stone of our democracy.
Why do you hate our culture and heritage, you blue tick grifting cunt?

It's only Thursday, with Tommeh yesterday this today, what will Friday bring? Far-right bully Anthony Barnes and his mates locked up in France. FFS 'I'm journalist', yeh right, that's what Tommeh said.

This is coming from the party that want to cut the minimum wage.
🚨Labour are undercutting British wages again.
They’re making it cheaper to hire foreign workers.
Labour will CUT occupational salary thresholds for foreign workers from the median to the 25th percentile.
Translation: businesses can import cheap foreign labour for far less than the typical Brit in that job earns.
All while millions of Brits are unemployed, young people struggle, and the welfare bill is expected to balloon to £451 BILLION.
Reform will end this madness.

The day a British Prime Minister announces an intention to rejoin the EU, things begin to change.
Businesses reconsider investment. Diplomats open conversations. Opportunities emerge.
We wouldn't need to wait until accession to start benefiting from a different direction.

As a British citizen please let me explain.
It's because the vast majority of Brits aren't fascist cunts.
I don't understand why the Brits are not flooding the street in protest of @TRobinsonNewEra political percussion.
It is clear, that the political establishment in the UK is hellbent on locking him up for his political views.
It doesn't matter if you support him or not. Democracies die when different views are suppressed. You will be next.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage can't attack Andy Burnham for undoing Brexit...
Why?
Because they've both admitted it was an anti-democratic con that has damaged the UK.

So to get this straight. That Wetherspoon’s in Gosport explained what happened, poppies were not actually banned, and yet some ‘patriots’ went down there tonight to hold a demo demanding something that has already been sorted out. Complete and utter performative nonsense.

There’s already been an independent review of the evidence by twelve people. We call it a jury.
Tommy Robinson was convicted today on a 10 to 2 jury majority. Like him or not, everyone deserves a fair process.
This petition just asks for an independent review of the evidence.

Our children should grow up believing the whole of Europe is full of possibilities.
Not barriers. Not permits. Not opportunities reserved for people with the right passport.
We should be fighting to give them more freedom than we enjoyed.
Not accepting that they'll have less.

Anyone defending Tommy Robinson needs to explain exactly what they think he should be allowed to get away with.
A man who claims to be a great British patriot, lives in Spain and spends the majority of the year on holiday at the expense of his “donors” was sitting in a holiday resort in Cyprus while stirring up civil unrest in Britain. Journalists reported on it. That is their job. It was a legitimate national story.
And because Robinson didn’t like the scrutiny, he sent private investigators after the journalists, had them tracked and photographed, exposed their home addresses and their families, and threatened to turn up at their homes, saying “I’m coming to get you”. One journalist needed personal security. Another had to remove his family from their home.
If you believe that is acceptable behaviour, that a man can threaten journalists and expose their families to intimidation simply because he dislikes their reporting, then you aren’t defending free speech. You’re defending intimidation. A jury heard the evidence and convicted him. Stop pretending this was a conspiracy because you don’t like the verdict.

I’m old enough to remember when Andrew and his gammon followers all wanted military camps to house immigrants.
Buried in @JohnHealey_MP budget is the revelation of £150m for more army bases for illegal migrants. Wonder why the chancellor never mentioned that in his dull statement
