Lots of EU politicians can see that #Brexit was a scam.

We make money for each other when we work together.

Let's jail the crooks that did this to us, and #RejoinEU!

Housewives and Downing Street https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/02/03/housewives-and-downing-street/. Our politicians are obsessed by the ‘household analogy that they claim requires them to run the economy as if it was like a household budget. That is completely wrong. This 1935 book might be the origin of that myth.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

The ongoing indulgence of Johnson is demeaning for our country. The man is a lying, contemptuous, self-serving disgrace. He abused his power and got kicked out for it.
No to an honours list. No to foreign ego trips. And no to paying his legal bills. Absolutely not.

Ninety years on from the Enablement Act that gave rise to the most monstrous political movement in history, Britain is about to replicate the frightful final flourishes from the Nazi playbook on establishing a fascist authoritarian regime. Namely, rapidly restructuring the established systems of power and enabling the bypassing of Parliament.

Britain Is Much Worse Off Than It Understands

Things weren’t nearly this bad in the 1970s—but the country’s leaders haven't grasped that yet.

Because they can’t admit that Brexit has caused a shortage of working people, they will try any thing.
Take no notice, their adherence to idealistic r/w policies has caused the problem.
Only a return to reality and a general election can solve the problem.

If I was still in the habit of canvassing door to door, I would be offering to help people with getting the necessary document. There doesn't appear to be a form available to take round (could be wrong about that) but a good tablet or laptop connected to that internet thingy would make it possible to do online applications for those with no internet, I hope.

Not got any ID? The tories have deliberately made it more difficult for you to vote because they know you're probably not voting for them. They're counting on you not bothering to click on this link to get yourself some free ID.

https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate

Apply for photo ID to vote (called a ‘Voter Authority Certificate’)

Apply for photo ID to vote (Voter Authority Certificate) in some elections and referendums in Great Britain if you do not have an accepted form of ID.
