How is the UK ever going to force a Brexit rethink on an unwilling establishment? Labour, Tories and Reform will never face facts, so only the @LibDems provide a chance under the present system. But the LibDems did not campaign for the EU at the last election, shame on them -

I have posted some of this in a reply but it is of wider interest in view of the argument that the Act of Union was illegitimate: Then exploit the present unwritten constitution by campaigning for a UK referendum that "The Acts of Union 1707 passed by both English and Scottish

The libertarian right are launching personal attacks on me of late. This does one thing only, it confirms my research into deregulated free zones is breaking through, and this really bothers them. Their attacks help me further expose the post-Brexit reconfiguration of the UK

For most of my lifetime there was "East vs West" or "Capitalism vs Commumism" epitomised by America and supporting counries vs Russia and supporting countries. The rise of China has led to a tripolar world. In Trump's view it is America, Russia, China as dominant powers. For

Agree that Labour has wrong priorities
It’s time to voice an ugly truth: I’ve been talking recently {privately} with ecologists, with very senior figures in the environmental NGOs, with activists and lawyers. What they say - privately - is stark: >This Govt is even worse on nature than the Sunak & Johnson Govts<. The

There have been numerous posts in my timeline about the right to a jury trial, with very good points made about government stripping us of rights without any mandate, especially right to free speech. So why decline to advocate for or support a written constitution?

Now we know why Reeves put taxes up: to pay the incentives to financiers for their free zones. The policy is to pay incentives up front, forge 25-year contracts, and hope to get instant growth before 2029. Just ignore the cost of it all. Read the substack below and weep: they
Of course, the Government's response to my petition asking for a full transparency review of UK free zones was always going to be one of immense gaslighting. https://t.co/FDNyF1VmUJ

Yet again the UK expects member terms without paying member share of costs. Now has to join SAFE on third-country terms, i.e. share of any SAFE-funded project limited to 35%, because UK government does not agree to member-terms contributions. https://t.co/I3FoanxdgP

The best part of the budget was the headmistress telling the naughty children off, especially the preamble aimed at @hmtreasury (landlord for @OBR_UK and prime leaker to the media) The worst part was the failure to ascribe the cause of Britain's economic mess to #BrexitChaos

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered." The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the Tory government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot

Please repost and share this petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics. Given Farage's poll lead, this is the most important issue in British politics. https://t.co/yQ9ia1ex53

There are two causes of UK inflation and they are not asylum seekers: 1. Brexit, leaving the single market and customs union seriously affected food prices 2. Financial engineering by foreign owners of UK businesses, especially utilities. This is my proposed constitutional law

More Treasury parsimony. Can't afford too many local authorities, so merge them to save cost of democracy. Now they can't afford oversight of police and crime. What England needs - and this is mainly an England issue, but includes Wales - is MORE democratic involvement by the

Now we have the UK wanting benefits from EU without paying its share of running costs. Just like the UK expects the other 27 countries to pay pensions for UK citizens who worked for the EU. Just like the UK thought it need not pay the costs of running the Single Market, and

Brexit was claimed to be about sovereignty. What is the Brexiteers response to US politicians telling us which news channels are approved by them? Silence.
