Liz Webster: Britain’s decision to Brexit…

Britain’s decision to Brexit has already imposed a significant economic and practical cost for far fewer gains than were promised. But Brexit isn’t done hurting us. In a world of trade wars, energy shocks and geopolitical instability, choosing to erect barriers with our largest market has made Britain more exposed, less resilient and less able to absorb global shocks. The cruel irony is that Brexit was sold as a route to prosperity and control. Instead, it has left Britain facing the very thing economists fear most: stagflation - higher prices, weaker growth and falling living standards.

Liz Webster: Newsnight @gilliantett…

🚨 Newsnight @gilliantett cut to the chase: “This clearly is a mess of Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves’ making, bc they should’ve seen it.” She said Healey and Cairns have “played a masterstroke” by detonating a political landmine. But while Westminster fights internal battles and obsesses over fiscal rules and defence budgets, British 🇬🇧 farming is being allowed to decline. This government came in treating farming as an industry it could afford to neglect, repeating the mistake of treating a strategic sector as expendable. 🔥 Food is not just another industry. 🔥 Food is part of defence. The 1947 Agriculture Act understood this lesson after WW2: a country that cannot feed itself is vulnerable to war, blockades, climate shocks and hostile powers controlling supply chains. Food production is as fundamental to national resilience as energy, infrastructure and defence capability. We need to restore the principles of the 1947 Agriculture Act: treating food production as a public good and a national security priority. Food security is national security.

Andrew Bridgen: You will be told that deporting illegal migrants…

You will be told that deporting illegal migrants and foreign born criminals is an extreme political stance. This is wrong The extreme stance is giving illegal migrants ( who are criminals) free accomodation in 4* hotels , free food , clothes , phones, internet and moving them to the front of the queue for healthcare , housing etc. The Government position is the extreme stance. Never forget this.

Liz Webster: Brexit was sold as “taking back control”…

🚨 Brexit was sold as “taking back control” of our borders. Instead, it delivered the opposite. By leaving the EU, Britain lost key cooperation tools (like the Dublin Regulation for returns) while raising public expectations it couldn’t meet. Result? Record small boat crossings across the Channel, over 200,000 since 2018, turning what was once a defensive moat (Dunkirk 1940) into a smuggling superhighway.

Kathy Gyngell: The Left has reacted with hot rage…

The Left has reacted with hot rage to a comment made by @Nigel_Farage that he had reacted with cold rage to the fatal stabbingof #HenryNowak. And most especially to the way he finessed the remark: that, given the circumstances of that murder, he expects the rest of us to react in the same way. Expects, not urges, straightforward empathynot being the same as incitement, save in the Left hive mind for which all distinctions in logic are transactional. Farage is taken by many to be the villain here. Or so the architects, generals and worker bees of the vicious ‘culture of nice’ are requiring the rest of us to conclude. I’m at a loss to know what for these people the correct response to footage of child sacrifice should look like? @Sean_Walsh_1967

Liz Webster: Nigel Farage’s promises deliver the opposite…

⚠️ Nigel Farage’s promises deliver the opposite: He swore leaving the EU would “take back control” of migration. Instead we got record small boat crossings, lost EU cooperation tools, and a border more porous than ever. Now he claims leaving the ECHR will fix it. Same dodgy salesman, same false promises. Voting Farage consistently delivers the exact opposite of what he sells: fewer rights, weaker security, a poorer country for most, while crypto billionaires and a tiny elite get richer.

Liz Webster: The British 🇬🇧 people know Brexit…

The British 🇬🇧 people know Brexit has bound Britain up in expensive red tape while delivering none of the benefits that were promised. Instead we face: 🔥 more paperwork and trade friction 🔥 higher food costs 🔥 weaker growth and investment 🔥 reduced freedom to live, work and travel across Europe 🔥 labour shortages across key sectors 🔥 endless renegotiation with our largest market Brexit was sold as less bureaucracy and more prosperity. Instead, Britain has spent a decade managing the consequences. And increasingly people are waking up to the truth that Brexit has made life worse for the majority of British people.
