Two days before the 2016 Brexit referendum, Daniel Hannan wrote about what life would be like in Britain on 24 June 2025 if we voted to Leave. A week ago, he wrote in the Telegraph that Britain is turning into a third world country. He got paid for both articles.

And just another £50,000,000 wasted on the dinosaurs' unicorn fantasies.. Brexit's waste runs into £ tens of billions - and is a key cause of higher inflation and tax rises

"More than £110B of that £143B will be swallowed up by interest payments on our gargantuan (and growing) £2.9T of national debt." Wrong. A component of debt interest is principal uplift on index-linked gilts payable on maturity. 2024/25: £65B payable debt interest, £27B uplift

Gully Foyle #UKTrade the pedallingchef 🇩🇪🇬🇧 Jacob Rees-Mogg LOL. Over 50% of all UK imported goods come from the EU and were (and continue to be) tariff free, dum dum, so how was 27% ever possible, dum dum? UK is paying MORE import tariffs as a percentage of its imports now BECAUSE of Brexit, dum dum.

Don’t let it be forgotten that Howard Lutnick was on TV *this morning* saying there will be absolutely no further pauses to tariffs beyond August 1st. And before breakfast ended on the east coast, the U.S. announced they were giving another 90 day extension to China before the

The European Commission clarifies that the $600 billion investment pledge under the EU-US trade deal is simply an "intention", not a "guarantee." "It's not something the EU, as a public authority, can guarantee – it's something based on the intention of private companies."

As the coward blocks me does anyone want to inform this buffoon that US tariffs on UK auto exports are 10% up to 100,000 cars (roughly the current level of UK auto exports to US) and 25% on >100,000 cars.

Never mind the fact that such a move would not survive first contact with EUCO or the European Parliament. It's almost as if the Trump comms team is deliberately trying to sabotage agreements Trump has made with the EU and Japan

Since some are wondering why the EU went along with this tariff "deal," let's spell it out. The EU knows that Trump's entire tariff agenda is currently facing a strong legal challenge in the US court system. The EU also knows that Trump's term is over in 3.5 years and the

Lutnick’s sons (who took over running their father’s firm Cantor Fitzgerald) are paying cash strapped US importers 20%–30% for an option to collect 100% on any future tariff refunds. They’re betting Trump’s tariffs won’t survive the courts. wired.com/story/cantor-f…

The real reason so many tech-right people freaked out about the Luke Farritor piece is that it DOGE completely undermines their worldview. That worldview is "cracked tech people are 10x smarter than anyone in DC, give Elon and a team of elite young techies access to the
