Here's a thread of recent articles on Brexit impacts that have gone under the radar. They're well worth a read and a retweet.
#BrexitHasFailed "43% of British goods and services exporters have seen a decrease in trade over the past year. The most frequently cited reason is Brexit. Among the most prominent concerns are red tape and a reduction in demand for UK products."

Editor Marina Ovsyannikova burst on the set of a live news broadcast shouting: 'Stop the war. No to war.' She held a sign saying 'Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here'."
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
Apparently, Marina Ovsyannikova knew she would be arrested for her protest, so before she carried it out she pre-recorded this message:
"Unfortunately I’ve spent the last years working on Channel One and spreading Kremlin propaganda. And I am ashamed”.

Russian troops have attacked Europe's largest nuclear power station in #Zaporizhzhia Ukraine. It is now on fire. Someone needs to stop Putin ASAP or he will take us all down with him.

A short thread about the 3 songs chosen by Angela Merkel tonight for the traditional #Zapfenstreich (military tattoo) as she leaves the Chancellorship after 16 years. Every Chancelor has the ceremony when they leave office, and the songs say a lot about their characters 😎 1. "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (You forgot to bring the colour film).
A nostalgic song from the 1970s DDR, which is much deeper than it sounds. It's about fading memories, the desire to relive things in vivid colour rather than black & white.

This scene is apparently due to a temporary strike, nothing structural. But the poster doesn't mention that. @politico must be so pleased that one of its reporters is intentionally spreading fake news that's now being RTd by Brexiters as proof that Boris Johnson isn't lying. Here's the truth. @politico should really have a word with him if they don't want to be compared to GB News. Image

So embarassing !!!
German news just showed the British petrol shortages. They expressly indicated it was caused by Brexit, then showed a bunch of bald, scrapping Brits πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ and ended with Johnson saying it's nothing to do with Brexit coz the same thing's happening everywhere.
WTF! Image

Liz Truss: "Britain's comparative economic advantage lies in providing digital and financial services to fast-growing Asian economies."

But they could have done that anyway, without leaving the Single Market for Services of the EU!

reuters.com/world/uk/uk-fi… Here's some info on the EU's Single Market for Digital Services, which was finalised about a year before the Brexit vote. Britain has now left the joint project in order to "go it alone".

"When exports account for 30% of Britain’s GDP, and UK-based exporters are struggling to make headway in a world where trade is now booming, it bodes ill for the nation’s economic health over the next year and many more to come."

theguardian.com/business/2021/… "The UK enjoyed 13% of all European foreign direct investment in manufacturing in 2015. That's now down to just over 8%. These investments once put the UK at the heart of a European factory network. But no longer."

l've just read that Hancock's married aide, Gina Coladangelo, is actually a "millionaire lobbyist" 😠 WTF is a millionaire lobbyist doing working as an assistant to a minister ...??? 😑😑😑 Here's a screenshot from the mirror article. I've been careful not to include pics of Hancock's wife or Coladangelo's husband, as they presumeably didn't ask for this sh*t.

We warned this would happen to British entertainment. I've already seen it starting in Germany. But it's not just about culture, it's also about funding.

"The EU is preparing to act against the disproportionate amount of British television and films shown in Europe after Brexit" Here's the article

A thread for #WorldRefugeeDay

In case you missed it ...
During the refugee crisis, the city of Berlin alone welcomed four times as many Syrian refugees as the whole of Britain. Yet Brexiters still screamed that we were "full up!".

#WorldRefugeeDay This is a pro-refugee poster from Germany which captured the feeling of the vast majority in the country. It's translation reads: "Arrived Alone, Moving Forward Together"

Scotland has the GDP of Hungary, but with a smaller population. It has extensive fishing wsters, a surplus of green energy, an international identity and world class products & services. An independent Scotland in the EU would also attract many English businesses Scotland also has the same Human Development Index rating as Austria

A thread from German news:
"You don't hear much about Brexit in the UK these days. Which is astonishing, just 3 months after the biggest change in British post-war history. The reality, however, is that in the slipstream of the pandemic, Brexit damage is steadily increasing."

πŸ‘‡ Image "Yet the most astonishing thing about the current situation is not that no one on the island wants to talk about Brexit and its consequences anymore, the most astonishing thing is that Johnson is still unable to explain to anyone why these sacrifices were actually necessary."

Nicola Sturgeon is a great leader. Both politically and as a "mensch". She's intelligent, honest and tough. She's also given Scotland a stature on the world stage that it could only have dreamed of under her predecessor. She's the leader Scotland needs.
