The UK is fast approaching a demographic tipping-point. You very rarely get tipping-points in demographics because, outside of wars and pandemics, births and deaths are relatively stable. However IMO we are approaching one which will have profound effects on UK politics.

The effect of this demographic tipping-point will be exaggerated by the fact that many people who used to switch from supporting left-of-centre parties around the age of 40, are now not doing so. Indeed the age at which Tory voters start to outnumber Labour ones is…

Probably closer to 50 than 40 now, and it is unlikely to stop there. Home ownership is one of the main drivers of this. However the number of voters over 50 is going to decline quickly over the next few years as the first post-war baby boom starts to die of old age.

I, born in 🏴,wanted 🇬🇧 to work. Which is true?
🏴 is respected in the 🇬🇧Parliament
🏴 has a veto over 🇬🇧 policies
🏴 is an equal member of the 🇬🇧 union
🏴 belongs to the EU like it wants to be
🏴 is free from authoritarian rule of a large neighbour

Don't get me wrong. I'm for unions.
But they *have* to be by consent.
🇬🇧 left 🇪🇺 rightly, because enough dumb citizens were duped by liars into thinking their lives would be improved. 😂. We all know that's horse-shit now.
But consent for #rejoin must be built afresh.

Maybe, one day, Scotland will want to be part of the 🇬🇧 UK as much as it wants to be part of the 🇪🇺EU.
Boris Johnson is kicking that day into the long grass.
So what now, Scotland?
You're the size of 🇩🇰Denmark but with more natural resources.
You're twice the size of ROI🇮🇪.

It’s unbelievable what selfishness people have these days.
You are right and correct in all you say.
There is zero excuse for the brutality and mass murder that Putin is doing in Ukraine

OK, I'm really struggling with the uproar over @Keir_Starmer saying we need to #MakeBrexitWork.
#Brexit has happened. There is no magic wand we can wave to make it simply vanish in a puff of smoke. We can't just return to 2016 and all live happily ever after...

The path to Rejoining the EU will take 5-20 years (depending on your optimism levels😜) and will necessitate multiple steps bringing us closer to the EU both in terms of standards/trading/economy and also values/attitudes/democracy.
The EU didn't chose Brexit.

Yet the EU has spent 5 years (and counting) expending vast amounts of political energy dealing with Brexit. Every EU country has spent time and money preparing for the changes that Brexit has thrust upon them.
We will need EVERY one of them to allow us to Rejoin

It goes on to a sobering conclusion:
“Exports of value added will fall by nearly 5.5% relative to a pre-Brexit scenario & GDP by 4.4%.”
My noble friends Lord Fox and Lady Kramer will outline this in more detail.
