Guardian puff piece😡 about Free trade deal with🇦🇺 with zero mention of catastrophic undercutting of British farmers, carbon footprint, 🇦🇺track record of appalling climate change denial and intensive farming practices. Race to the bottom is complete.
theguardian.com/australia-news…
A winter of self-inflicted discontent is coming with lashings of chaos, disorder and departures from European standards that protect food security. Brexit embracing globalism for anarcho-capitalists is rotting the foundations of regulation with unecessary red tape. #Brexit
Food price rises as inflation skyrockets from a triple whammy of Brexit, Covid & Ukraine. British food production is suffering and cannot sustain being undercut by 'big agri' like 🇦🇺EU requires all imported beef to be strictly HGP-free, which restricts majority of 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦 produce
Egg market, pig market, beef market, lamb market, are all collapsing, supply shortages of veg, (even potatoes). Floodgates open to cheap imports from Mexico, Brazil, India & CPTPP, all performative trade deals, on top of which Ukraine war compounds shortages. Operation🟨Hammer
Anarcho-capitalism has no social consciousness, Brexit has enabled libertarian ideology to be made flesh, ceding control to big tech/agri/pharma/property. Labour must confront Brexit, Freeports are segues to charter cities and the carving up of UK sovereignty.
International trade can be compared to 'insect politics', it is absolutely brutal. Get ready for hormone injected meat, not from EU food labelling, arsenic in baby formula, who benefits? If you're wealthy you buy organic, if you can't afford a cheese sandwich, tough...
Eustice even said the🇦🇺was not good for🇬🇧It's a total sell out, he lied. Once one deal is done, other countries will have the upper hand, 🇬🇧is a capital hungry 3rd country that closed the door on the EU SM. Other countries smell the desperation and will devour small fry🇬🇧
The camera never lies, photos of EU supermarkets stocked to the gills sit alongside photos of empty shelves in🇬🇧supermarkets. Cowardice from our opposition parties is inexcusable, NI like Sunak said benfits from being in the EU SM and GB markets!
EU concerned about what UK Govt is inflicting on it's entire infrastructure; anti-governance, anarcho-capitalism, deregulation, lowering of standards, climate breakdown all contribute to the chaos. Solution is 'managed capitalism', protectionism, a new social contract #RejoinEU

The Department for Health and Social Care is so unrepentant about information transparency that it would rather put itself in contempt of court than hand over the documents.

BREAKING: Ministers are to launch legal action against the official Covid public inquiry in a last-ditch attempt to avoid handing over Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApps.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…
Sunak promised 'Integrity, professionalism and accountability' as PM while his backers warned a Boris Johnson comeback would be a “guaranteed disaster”.

The UK is in serious shit.
Maverick Edwards of Liberty University describes anarcho-capitalism as a political, social, and economic theory that places markets as the central "governing body" and where government no longer "grants" rights to its citizenry.
theguardian.com/money/2023/jun…
Anarcho-capitalism is anti-statist/Governance, libertarian. Its economic theory seeks to abolish centralized states in favor of stateless societies with systems of private property enforced by private agencies, free markets and self-ownership.
Post Brexit UK will make this flesh.
'Taking back control' has never been in the publics interest, look at the plethora of laws currently being deregulated/abolished since leaving the EU, they span, protest rights, workers rights, food safety, environmental protections, voter suppression, land grabbing...

Southern Water privately owned by Macquerie an Aussie Finance Group. 6 mths ago ICO ordered them to disclose docs of their meetings about its sewage dumping, previous year it had pleaded guilty to 51 offences of discharging billions of litres of shit into SE England's waterways> Image
Judge said the company had shown 'a shocking and wholesale disregard for the environment, human health, fisheries and delicate ecosystems to line their own pockets'. 168 offences in total, the company did not improve infrastructure. 2022 they discharged raw sewage at 83 beaches.
An Environmental Info Request asked SW to disclose minutes of its meetings, they refused to comply. The Infomation Commissioners Office said SW had a monopoly in the region and had to respond, SW refused again. Macquarie earned £2.8 billion from oil, gas and electricity divisions

What will Labour do when in power that is any different to what the Tories are doing to the UK?
Blair was Thatchers greatest achievement.
Embracing deregulation weaponises anarcho-capitalists and entrenches austerity as a policy choice.
So please, what will change?
FM Mark Drakeford has embraced Shanker Singham, Gove and Sunak's freeports, these will totally change the fabric of post-Brexit UK where venture capitalists can operate with private laws beyond Govt reach. I absolutely despair at how gullible people are.
I have always voted Labour, I will do so again, so stop the fucking pile on. We must be able to question our political representatives, no one can be a perfect leader, they're just people. The mistake being made by Labour is in economics and blind trust that markets self regulate

How does a 'solidarity union' function when Drakeford's Freeports pact with Sunak, Gove and Shanker Singham paves the way for patchworks of corporate sovereignty in Wales? He's just invited anarcho-capitalists to carve up Wales for off-shore profiteering.
theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Read @eyes_lilly expose of Sunak's Freeports bolstered by the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill and of course the REUL Bill which will further trap locals in investment zones, aka charter cities.
The tactic is to make rejoining EU impossible. #Brexit

@carolvorders Something very suspicious here, I suspect an engineered attempt at insolvency to 'merge' this council into a CCA, transferring public wealth to private hands and start land grabbing like Teesside, this area sits on the border of Southhampton (Solent) Freeport.👇🏻
@carolvorders Well, what do you know? US ExxonMobil listed here as a tax site with Southampton Water...ExxonMobil's environmental record has faced much criticism for its stance and impact on global warming, so the usual greenwashing BS of deregulated Freeports is a go
solentfreeport.com/what-is-a-free…
'As the UK’s number one export port, Southampton handles exports worth £40 billion annually, including £36 billion destined for markets outside the EU'...deregulation dystopia off-shoring wealth for the 1% will devastate what's left of UK economy. #Brexit
