It was always going to end like this.
Labour and Cons playing political musical chairs while the UK burns.
Something is fundamentally wrong with the British 2 party system. #Brexit
Revealed: secret cross-party summit held to confront failings of Brexit theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
You have to ask why Labour and Cons are doubling down on making Brexit work when the entire Leave campaign was proven to be illegal and every single new deal returns a pittance for the UK economy. #Libertarian
Here's what's at stake for UK citizens, I guarantee that every deregulatory act will benefit the investor class only, their libertarian ideology made flesh.
Who needs laws when Truss and Sunak's oligarchical plutocracy finally destroys Govt oversight? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Did you really vote for this?
Workers rights, the environment, food safety standards all under attack.

Brexit = Deregulation, a libertarian exit from democracy🧵
Tip of the Brexitberg, promise of replacing all that wonderful EU funding turned to total shit. theguardian.com/environment/20…
This is pretty big news actually, the EU have had enough of the UK’s petulance and cherry picking, the UK cannot go it alone. Tories performative trade deals are pathetic, Russian invasion is a clear line in the sand about whose side the UK should be on.
Farage, Redwood and no doubt the entire ERG, IEA going apoplectic about the idea that common sense may prevail over the ideological clusterf*ck of Brexit. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Supreme Court rule that the Northern Ireland Protocol is perfectly legal, this a hammer blow to the DUP lunatics, Lord Frost and the ERG who wanted to tear it up and imperil the GFA!

Naked attempt by this Govt to disenfranchise those less likely to vote Tory
Voters will have no right to appeal if denied a vote after polling staff refuse to accept their ID
Voter ID: Bouncers at the Ballot Box Could Turn Away Thousands in May Elections bylinetimes.com/2023/02/10/vot…
Reputationally – what will our residents think with a rise in election challenges? It reduces confidence in the system. Polling stations across the country lack the time and resources to implement this barely disguised exercise in voter suppression,
What is happening to UK democracy? Tories will absolutely gerrymander the May elections with legalised voter suppression tactics. 6 of the Govt-accepted IDs are specifically targeted at older people, while almost none are aimed at younger people.
The Tories endless scandals and corruption are symptoms of what's coming next in post Brexit UK. Their behaviour shows you what kind of Britain they are remaking, it is in their own image. Once they deregulate the hell out of everything, absolute legalized lawlessness will reign.
Most people are unaware of the transatlantic models of libertarianism Tories are adopting to entrench capital accumulation by hook or by crook. Ideology of anti governance goes back to the 1920s/30s where Italy and UK used austerity as a weapon removing the obstacle of democracy.
Economists and libertarians like Hayek, Friedman Rand, Buchanan, Fisher, Smedley devised partisan think tanks whose directive was to never disclose the hugely unpopular core tenets of libertarianism to the public for fear of losing their charity status.
Tories legislating to not only hobble local councils but transform them into exploitative emblems of corporate hegemony thoughout England impacting the entire UK. No accountability as neo-feudal fiefdoms experiment with power and land grabbing post #Brexit
We warned you!
You have to understand that the Govt is no longer functioning for it's own electorate, the whole ideology of libertarians is to abolish state intevention by tailoring laws as services that companies demand in a deregulated UK, the whole point of Brexit!
Always shocked to learn that 96% of Brits cannot name a single thinktank. A twofold problem remains at play, corporate lobbyists influence on shaping Govt policy to libertarian partisan ends and the cover of academic rigour in their titles like 'institute' and 'centre'.
Dark money sets the political agenda that enters Govt via the revolving door, a key cog in this transaction is the fomenting of the 'Anglosphere'. In short this meant leaving the EU by pooling nations to deregulate and form new trade relations with white, english speaking nations
Brexit birthed by Shanker Singham, Matthew Elliot, Liam Fox, Dan Hannan gained ground by linking with Murdoch and a slurry of r/w transatlantic thinktanks all corporate funded (+tax payers money under charity status) Russia also hugely invested. British establishment compromised.
It won't stop unless the UK joins the #SingleMarket
Shortage of European workers is a major contributing factor to Britain’s economic gloom.
‘Britannia Chained: Brexit has Left the UK in a State of National Decline’ – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2023/01/31/bri…
According to the IMF, even Russia – hit by massive international sanctions – is set to out-perform the UK. When it comes to our nearest global competitors, the self-imposed economic sanctions of Brexit appear to outweigh all others.
Even Russia...
Disaster capitalists, r/w populists and fascists have hobbled a once stable country that rarely suffered the sort of political ruptures that affected other nations. 7 years of BS since the vote to leave the EU, Britain has become a byword for political chaos.
If you want the NHS to survive, we need to raise awareness of harrowing stories of the repeat failings of private sector services, often resulting in patients being put at risk from negligence and ultimately unnecessary deaths. Integrated Healthcare is total BS. Watch the film!
The very people returning home to the UK, who won the war were denied by Churchill the right to a public healthcare system. Labour swept to power in 1945. Spin on to Covid pandemic, nurses praised but denied a basic living wage while corporate profits soared. History repeats...
