The Brexit facts of life

Labour's Wes Streeting stated his week, that the damage Brexit caused to the economy was "a fact of life".

Odd then that Labour is unwiling to do much about it, with Starmer ruling out any kind of relaxation of freedom of movement for the under 30s, something that the EU has offered.

That Brexit was sold on a "no risk" vote and there would "be no downsides, just considerable upsaides", this should be being shouted on every front page, instead most of the right wing press are more concerned with tarring Starmer for arranging police escorts for Tatlor Swift when she played in London recently, and being given tickets. That Swift had been subject to terrorist threats causing gigs to be cancelled in Europe, and lets not forget the attack at Manchester a few years ago at a Ariana Grande causing multiple deaths.

But the culture war must be fought, no matter how desperate.

The one sure fire way of creating growth would be to rejoin the Single Market and/or Customs Union, this is the obvious solution, so in Brexit Britain it is off the agenda, of course.

Britain will be the sick man of Europe until things change wth our relationship with Europe and the EU.

Meanwhile the Conservatives are still deciding on their leader, with leaving the ECHR being promised, no matter what damage that would cause to the Good Friday Agreement and peace in Ireland.

Remember, in a banned (in the UK) episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Data states that Ireland was unified in 2025. THat's science fiction,isn't it?
