instead of being crippled by Brexit and forced into Irexit, Ireland planned ahead, bypassed the UK landbridge with direct ferries and has increased imports and exports with EU and NI.

Ireland set for economic growth of almost 10% in 2022/2023, well above the EU average.

Because, of course, better paid jobs are just waiting to be filled.
Or perhaps the Tories haven’t noticed that the UK is now a low wage economy thanks to their economic policies.

Former MP who lost her seat because she stood up for what she believed in putting the interests of her country & constituents b4 her own. Could’ve gone along w #Brexit bought off w a top job in Govt or seat in House of Lords as others did. I’ve never regretted the choices I made
Former MP who lost her parliamentary seat ostensibly because she failed to respect the democratic vote of 17.4 million citizens, persists in believing she was right and they were wrong? 🙄

The NI Protocol is actually not ‘crippling NI businesses’ as their economy is doing better than the rest of UK because they can still trade freely with the EU

The Express refers to the mobile roaming charges as "new EU fees" in the article yet doesn't mention Brexit.
They're clearly trying to portray them falsely as something imposed by the EU, and not the result of no longer being protected by EU law.

Definitely, if you believe Union works in your favour in Scotland you are delusional. Do some homework! Brexit alone is justification but let's not forget that Scot Gov budget was absolutely hammered by Tory party over a decade ago. Yet we still mitigate most harmful policy.

I'm amused at the idea that women are having to prove their feminist credentials whilst men who say they are women have to prove nothing.

My mind is blown how we've gone from nationalist voices being dubbed on the BBC, to the BBC saying this place was designed to suppress the nationalist voice #ae22 #AE2022
