How were you sold on the idea of Brexit. Did you get told to ignore warnings?
Did you get told any reasonable cautions were not worth worrying about?
Did the scare stories come true, same for all the benefits promised?
Who did you believe and did they deliver what they said they would?
Was this all foreseeable? It was for many. But it was shouted down
Knock on impact for all kinds of industries
But eroding our human rights is the path for better now? The new Brexit
Less liability for government and firms if they harmfully cut more corners is the right way to boost national prosperity in the long-term?
Might it be a government that is too divided to achieve anything and failing to focus on any kind of medium-term wellbeing?
This all points to wealth being accumulated by those who least need it
But a culture war is what we need?
Long read to perhaps consider? buymeacoffee.com/TrialByTruth/w…
Cost of living or pruning history lessons. Which really helps children?
More stamping down and money filtering up
We are better than this and there are great alternatives that don't involve worse inequality, fewer rights, and sewage in water
We are not stupid, promises need plans attached
We are not lazy and abandoning our children. Perhaps it is something else?
If the government are whipped to lie and ignore fallout, unable to counter rebels. Many now stepping down or deselected, is it time for a GE not culture wars and austerity? People are being broken
Plus, what on earth makes you think they will fix immigration now?
Rather than use symptoms of their incompetence as an electoral wedge issue /END
P.S. Another #ECHR thread. I for one won't have people flying blind into yet another big decision
Last addition before you discount impact of divisive campaigning
Appending just one more. It is very simply not working. Why would we ask for more of the same?

This picture is why most values that matter to our young people are constantly being attacked
Someone suggested the Tories should pay attention to their older and expiring voter base.

That is all they have done in the last few decades. All of the stuff you hear about 'wokeness', nominally summarised as the 'culture war' is about the discrediting of critics and profit
This explains that in some more detail ICYI. We owe our young people better than fewer rights, no social safety net, exploiting both them and the environment, discrediting teaching about our history and alternatives, that is what is going on here buymeacoffee.com/TrialByTruth/w…

£18m? Hmmm. How much of that is being used for the broad benefit of the locals Mr Mayor?
For example. Is £7m still going on new hangar space for the airport? How is the coastline? It is not about blocking progress, it is about due diligence and the investment going to local people
One also wonders what our Mayor had done to slow the growth of child poverty locally?

Peter Thiel via Palantir stands to benefit more than most from the progressive privatisation and data
It's like market fundamentalist whack-a-mole at the moment
The ethos of the players that are benefiting from and influencing the NHS and public subsidies is perhaps not wholly unrelated yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/andrew-ta…

Johnson's c.£5m speaking fees and his £800k line of credit is small change compared to this, but the ambition is to open up these kinds of donor floodgates
A constant dependence on the millions to campaign narrowed the window for governing and increased corporate dependence money.howstuffworks.com/campaign-finan…
The role of UK campaign spend limits is to level playing fields to make holding of public office more accessible to more people electoralcommission.org.uk/who-we-are-and…

Replace 'the West' with the EU here and remember our rhetoric is 40yrs old now. The difference is we went to war with ourselves
