Exactly @Lord_Sugar Farage, Johnson and Gove have gone very quiet. Small businesses are still paying the price every single day with extra costs and red tape. Sunderland voted Leave, yet Nissan only went there because of frictionless access to the EU market. Brexit would be a disaster, it’s wrecking the UK.
Watched Brexit programme on BBC today. What would Farage, Johnson and Gove say now. We are in a total mess. Small biz can't do biz easy with EU .The biggest disaster I have experienced in my life time. Sunderland tipped the scales. Nissan only went to Sunderland so they could sell cars to the EU at low prices.

Heseltine: It’s time to reverse Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage’s ‘heinous crime’ of Brexit. Public had been “lied” to in a “heinous crime”, says former deputy UK PM. Brexit brought no economic gain. Nearly half of the UK public want a second referendum. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

‼️ @ProfBrianCox calls government physics funding cuts “inexplicable” and damaging to Britain’s scientific future. This is Brexit dumbing down Britain in action. A decade of slower growth, smaller tax base, and lost EU research collaboration has left us cutting back on the very areas (fundamental science, long-term discovery) that built our past success. Short-termism and decline. Exactly what many warned about.

What is happening today – the opening of the first cluster in the accession negotiations for Ukraine and Moldova – sends a clear message that Europe’s progress cannot be stopped. We have worked hard to reach this moment. Over the past years, Ukraine and Moldova have taken important steps together. And it is especially symbolic that I am speaking to you from Chișinău today – on my way to France for the G7 Summit. Our neighborhood with Moldova is strong. And we support each other, and we are moving toward the EU together – and we will get there together. From an intervention at the EU Intergovernmental Conference. (1/3)

Another one bites the dust ‘I couldn’t take it anymore’: Deputy Reform UK leader leaves ‘toxic’ party Cllr Robbie Lammas said disorganisation, in-fighting, and incompetence “at every level” has forced him to leave the party. kentonline.co.uk/medway/news…

By letting Thames Water be run for the benefit of asset strippers we have starved a vibrant and growing region of the UK of vital infrastructure investment. End this farce. Water risks are rising - due to climate and hybrid aggression: state ownership now!

First responders have put out the fires in Kyiv – at the Lavra and the Mystetskyi Arsenal. I am grateful to all the services working at the sites of the strikes, and to everyone who is helping. It has been confirmed that two Russian drones deliberately targeted the part of the city where the Lavra and the Mystetskyi Arsenal are located. As of now, 35 people are reported injured in Kyiv. Across the country, 53 people have been wounded, and 11 people are known to have been killed in this massive Russian attack. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. We are in constant communication with our partners regarding the consequences of this Russian attack and the necessary response. It is important that state leaders, public leaders, and international organizations do not remain silent. I have instructed Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our entire diplomatic team to maximize all contacts with partners today so that international events this week and next deliver real results for strengthening our defense and increasing global pressure on Russia over this war. We need a just response to this Russian strike. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine.

Replying to @LordAshcroft
At the very moment the desperate agitator becomes the target of the new underdogs - great timing - he is just the establishment failure now

- Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy: "Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 was a clear violation of international law and a glimpse of Russia's aggressive intentions toward all of Ukraine. Back then, the West did not fully understand the scale of what was happening and perhaps hoped that Moscow's imperial ambitions would stop there. We were wrong, and we must admit it. Today, we stand side by side with Ukraine without hesitation. Russia must end its occupation policy and withdraw its troops. We will never tire of working for a just and lasting peace." Great woman 😉

This pretty much destroys any argument Putin has tried to make about the morality of his assault on Ukraine. One of the most ancient Orthodox sites under direct attack. For shame.
I cannot believe what I’m witnessing in Kyiv tonight. Priests at the Kyiv Lavra one of the holiest Christian sites in Europe are rushing to save crucifixes, icons and sacred artefacts while Russia attacks the city. This is what Moscow’s “Christian values” look like.

£90bn lost to Brexit. That's 1.5 million nurses. Or 3,000 schools. Or free meals for every poor child for life. Johnson-Farage disaster. Rejoin isn't hope. It's arithmetic. 🇪🇺📊💷 #BBCLauraK

🔥 The great irony of the population debate/Malthusianism is that for decades a generation of policymakers feared Britain had too many people and explored ways of reducing numbers. Half a century later, Britain 🇬🇧 faces a population crisis of not enough people. For decades so many citizens have struggled to afford to have the families they want. Now the large aging babyboom generation continues to resent immigration needed to keep the country going.
When Enoch Powell made his Rivers of Blood speech, the UK population was forecast to hit 70m by the 1990s. Now, it's questionable whether we will pass that milestone at all. Fascinating from Tom Calver... thetimes.com/comment/columni…

Now they just need to really remember what Reform was called previously and who it's Leader was and there might be a glimmer of hope. Don't hold your breath
