      Brexit and the Tories look a lot like deliberate economic sabotage from many angles.

      Has the UK establishment been infiltrated by a foreign power?

    2. Crazy we had a perfectly good trade deal with people less than 30 miles away. Makes ya proud to be English 🤦‍♀️

      The Tories are a joke.

      I couldnt believe I agreed with Neil Kinnock. The lot he faced were “smart, patriotic worthy opponents” .

      This lot are “hollow and superficial” .

      I mean, they know they’re not going to win, so why not try to hamper the new government as much as possible so that it increases their chances of getting back in at a later date?

      When you have more interest in amassing power for yourself and your backers then running the country, a whole lot of insane actions suddenly make sense.

      Good. We need to distance ourselves as much as possible from the states. It should terrify us how many of our tech companies and the basics we buy in our shopping each week is owned by American companies. This is all money that is leaving the country, making us all poorer in the long run

    6. Individual states don’t set import/export tariffs for the USA so I always wondered what these so-called “trade deals” were all about.

    7. What on earth has Badenoch achieved as a minister apart from relabelling some gender neutral toilets at her leadership campaign launch?

      Well if the British MPs didn’t hound Donald Trump and protest him when he visits his golf courses , maybe just maybe things would be different for us . Leftards have ruined any chance of diplomatic relations for us .
