@thetnholler.bsky.social we had no idea what Brexit would be, and nor did the people who sold it to us.
It was both an 'Advisory vote' and also once the Brexitiers won, something we absolutely had to do, quickly, and with as much damage as possible.
10 years on and are any of us happier, or better off? Only the Elites.

#EU imposes $23Billion tariffs on #Trump. UK crippled by #Brexit is weak, but we could join with EU tariffs. Bond selling indicates the crazy world of Trump, hurting both US citizens & the rest of the world. Starmer's policy seems like appeasing Trump, this is unforgivable. Trump may not understand #Bond markets, but surely he sees the distress! https://shorturl.at/secHd #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine
You know she’s lying because it’s impossible for a Tory to follow the rules scruplelously…. Still the shares she got will no doubt make up for her discomfort #brexit #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #conservatives #rachelreeves #austerity #toryscum #ToryCorruption
The EU, China, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Vietnam and others, all hit back or at least done something. I defy you to find any semblance of meaning in this from Starmer. Any iota of an inkling of a plan. One sentence or even two words strung together that aren’t complete and utter political speak bullshit. The man utters a thousands words and never do they mean anything. Absolutely full of shit and I voted for him for context #brexit #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #conservatives #rachelreeves #austerity #tariffs #tradewar #trade
In the UK, Reeves declares a warning,
Of trade relations with Europe transforming,
Amid US trade wars,
She sees potential flaws,
Trade deals must be better performing.

The Musicians’ Union (MU) has published an open letter signed by players in more than 20 orchestras across the country calling upon the Government to address the lack of streaming royalties for musicians. https://www.classical-music.uk/news/article/orchestral-musicians-call-on-uk-government-to-act-now-on-streaming #music #musicians #Brexit #Streaming

Just like #Brexit - many foreign (EU) workers who were part of the NHS had to leave the UK. Who did that help, exactly?

@ChrisMayLA6 #Brexit was the biggest foreign policy mistake this backward country has made in my lifetime.
If Starmer can't see or acknowledge that, he's not fit to sit in parliament, let alone occupy a tied cottage in Downing Street.
(a) You couldn't make a better argument for diversifying your business away from the USA if you tried.
(b) I am _so_ glad Germany has the #EuropeanUnion as a whole to negotiate for us. Individually the EU nations wouldn't stand a chance - but together they are a force to be reckoned with. As the #Brexit negotiations showed.

#Brexit: Britain sanctioned themselves lol, no one else is that stupid
T••••: Watch this, mf
The "All American Made iPhone" reminds me of the time somebody tried to make a toaster from scratch, including mining and smelting the ore....but then Trump has the mind of a child so isn't going to understand supply routes and globalisation like the Brexitiers didn't

A bit more on the topic, saying the D word is obvs a bit premature. Big inflation is of course coming to the US, but the #blackswan moment of #stagflation or #Depression will become visible first in jobs reports, and then clear in #GDP. But I am going to go ahead and claim it as a U.S. innovation, a kind of 10x #brexit. #economics #uspol hold our beer UK, anything you can do we can do better. #specialrelationship indeed!
Visiting Arromanches, aka Gold beach in #normandy main site of the British forces #DDay landings in #WW2
When the #USA stood with the allied forces in the fight against facsism.
Today I am proud of those who fought for freedom, sad for those who died, and those who suffered.
Also sad about #brexit and the situation in the USA today.
We are stronger together.
I was just thinking what the hell sort of mad-ass country would be so stupid as to effectively voluntarily impose massive trade #sanctions on itself, seriously harming both the economic and social life of its society and making itself a pariah among nations hitherto considered friends and allies...
...and now I'm not sure if I'm talking about #Trump or #Brexit.

@clive Ah, #dejavu #trumpregime #tradepolicy
How often have we read explanations during the #brexit years from business people, e.g. trying to explain to the #Brexit Taliban that there are good reasons why some car parts crossed the channel a dozen time during manufacturing (Hint: certain specialised processing steps were only available in some hubs in Europe, and it makes zero economic sense to replicate them in the UK, not enough UK only business).
