Accepting EU rules and taxes was always bad for UK jobs and growth. They took most of our fish, took huge sums from taxpayers, helped rip up our orchards and grow less food, kept us short of milk quota, forced up energy costs to close some of our industry.

In the 20 years before joining Europe in 1972 UK growth averaged 3.4%. Our first 20 years in the customs union and EEC halved that to 1.7%. Growth fell a bit more in the 28 years from 1992 in the over regulated and taxed single market. Why go back there?

The government is bringing the UK into line with the poor performing EU as it plans the re set sell out. Today will see us get up to EU levels of unemployment as we continue with EU style slow growth and no growth. Why do they want this bad outcome?

What shocks is not the vote-rigging, but the blatancy. At the same time that Labour is cancelling local elections it expects to lose, it is altering the franchise for future general elections.

Labour: *creates Holyrood* *in opposition 19 years and counting* Labour: *creates Senedd* *set to lose for first time ever* Labour built the very institutions its foes will now use to supplant it. Devolve in haste, repent at leisure. https://t.co/kDKOUXTLBC

Labour has so many troubles at the moment that the prospect of electoral oblivion is almost a secondary concern.

We should be competing with the EU not compliant. They must be laughing at Starmer & bewildered as to why he is so keen to please. He is simultaneously a dictator and a child
Keir Starmer should read Liam Halligan’s column before he sells us out and commits to EU targets 👇 Labour’s net zero extremism is ripping the heart out of Britain @LiamHalligan

There was never any credible legal threat to British sovereignty over the Chagos Islands. The government is undermining the national interest for purely ideological reasons. The surrender must be stopped.
'We're proposing to pay £35billion to stave off a threat that doesn't exist.' Mark Francois MP details research which he believes proves there is no credible legal threat to the Chagos Islands. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

Folks just ain’t buying this bollocks anymore. But the activist journalists who unquestioningly shilled for Big Green climate catastrophism have paid no penalty. Nor have the politicians who parroted performative nonsense. While green lobbyists and propagandists grew rich off the
How many times do climate alarmists have to be wrong before they finally admit there is no "climate crisis"? 🤔

"Net zero isn’t delivering for ordinary people, but is instead adding to their financial burden and, in many cases, undermining any vestige of job security. That’s why, since 2021, the share of the UK public wanting the UK to hit 'net zero' before 2050 has almost halved. My

You cancel elections. You remove opponents from the legislature. You demand compulsory ID cards. You jail people for saying the wrong thing. Now you crack down on independent media platforms. What’s next? Mass internments?
No social media platform should get a free pass when it comes to protecting our kids. That's why I'm taking action.

Both Tony Blair and Keir Starmer presented themselves as virtue incarnate. Yet no sooner had they entered Downing Street, both were drowning in scandals. Labour’s sleaze problem is feature, not a bug, says Tim Black https://t.co/VnFFvtRpnS

The scandals swamping Keir Starmer are a feature, not a bug, in a party that thinks it can do no wrong.

Is the PM happy now he has got us up to EU levels of youth unemployment? His NI tax, businesses taxes and EU re set has destroyed jobs . Now he wants to join their damaging carbon tax schemes to close down more of our energy dependent industries.

On 5 Live last night I was at last allowed to list some Brexit wins and the many opportunities if we used the freedoms we have gained. Most come as a surprise to BBC journalists who usually avoid the facts about the damage to trade and the economy caused by the EU.

The Starmer re set with the EU undermines our democracy, rides roughshod over the referendum and will make the UK poorer. Why does he want us to be told what to do by Brussels, whilst paying them to make us a colony?
