So. As the UK refuses to recognise the diplomatic status of the EU ambassador cuz they're 'an international organisation' not a sovereign state, Brexit was literally a waste of time... What need is there to reclaim sovereignty from an institution that's not sovereign? Confused?

A disastrous night for the UK and its international reputation. All five votes lost, including on protections for children and on modern slavery. Shameful. We were finished by 1230am.

Watch 👀 @KemiBadenoch on EU import checks #Brexit tax dilemma. She confirmed that ✔️ 🇬🇧 producers are being treated unfairly, there’s not a Level Playing Field LPF ✔️ Checks add to #CostOfLivingCrisis ✔️ They have to ensure LPF ✅ This dilemma is solved by joining the EU

Farage proclaims Brexit to be a failure and more than 60 per cent of Britons agree with him as polls show the majority would now vote to rejoin the EU.

As Kemi Badenoch puts pen to paper in New Zealand and signs off UK membership of CPTPP this Sunday on a much-hyped deal that promises to deliver no more than a 0.08 percent bump to Britain's domestic GDP, the biggest winner isn’t the UK…it’s Japan.

Tokyo is the biggest winner of the UK’s accession to the CPTPP.

1.4 Million views on a tweet of a Tory MP assaulting Sylvia and throwing her mobile phone to the floor. Then he demands that it not be shared. Well, Stephen Hammond, you're a coward and a bully of course we're going to share it! You haven't even asked if Sylvia is OK!
Thug grabs Sylvia’s mobile phone injuring her wrist. He throws her phone to the floor as if nothing he’d did is wrong. This thug is Tory MP for Wimbledon Stephen Hammond. #ToryDisgrace

#Brexit is an aggressive and regressive monster which is unwinding all advancement.
A #Brexit win: Brits 🇬🇧 could soon be eating previously-banned battery eggs again! Meanwhile, the EU are taking steps to end caged farming entirely. Talk about a Brexit race to the bottom! https://t.co/eSOLMP40vS

OK, this @hmtreasury tweet needs a little context...🧵
Analysis from the @IMFNews has found that since 2010, Real GDP in the UK has grown faster than in comparable European nations such as France, Germany, Italy or Spain. We are committed to continuing to grow the economy and provide economic opportunities for people across the UK.

Thank you Ben, not sure why the Treasury has naively descended into posting GB News style propaganda for the likes of Richard Tice et al. to get excited about.

The UK's headline inflation in June is the highest of the G7. The difference can't be the pandemic or the war in Ukraine. What's is it that's exclusive to the UK? Brexit. And those who arrogantly plotted it are STILL in power. We need the Single Market. #GeneralElectionNow
