For some reason I think its necessary to say this:

Anyone who's saying that we should stop blaming Brexit for the UK's economic travails knows little about economics.

Certainly, the UK's economic problems pre-date Brexit, but the departure from the European Union has compounded & worsened pretty much every negative trend that the UK suffers from....

To deny this is world-class bulls*t.

[apologies, spotted this headline in the supermarket earlier & it pissed me right off!]

Why not try an Irish Coffee for St Patrick’s Day?

Just make a normal coffee, then make sure there’s no snakes in it.

And this is why #ReformUK are not a suitable party to govern the UK: we have a national health service, pensions, and welfare benefits all paid for by the state, on top of all the other things normally funded by the state. These are not commitments compatible with a low-tax economy.

We should be happy to pay more in tax for these wonderful collective goods.
