Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

It’s been a few days now, but the UK is still responding to the reverberations caused by Andy Burnham’s bombshell conference speech. But in this video, we’re going to focus on one of his speech’s last topics: the UK-EU relationship.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

It taught us that the color yellow must be worn at public functions a signal a lot will know ,it taught us that just as the energy prices were starting to climb and the switch over to EVs that the feed in tariff was scarpped ,a £1000 was wiped off the green grant for an EV ,hybrids suffered worse & the VAT on all things solar was raised from 5% to 20% .
It taught us that if you do all of the above and more you can get an infltion proof pension + a tax free golden handshake all figures sealed for 30 yrs ,that woman did all of that and more !

December 30, 2023 at 7:52 am
She never stood a chance tbh. But, as it seems to be these days, the Tories could come out saying that they hate British people, and they would still earn a landslide majority. People will always support their favourite, no matter how damaging the party could be to the country….

Voted to Remain (crucial)- somehow managed to end up in charge of Brexit negotiations (which she infuriatingly insisted on pronouncing as if the word was spelled 'negociations')- banged on a great deal about Strong and Stable leadership- brazenly lied a great deal more about us leaving with or without a deal on March 29th of March 2019 despite having no intention whatsoever of us actually leaving (and quelle surprise….)- & then cried just like Maggie did when she was forced to give up her power. Continuous sabotage and betrayal- endlessly kicked the can down the round until she was stopped because of the damage she was causing the reputation of her shitty political party. Mark my words- Her successor Boris is sure to play the same game albeit in a less transparent way.

If ONLY 10% of all uk income tax payers earn so little boy are we in trouble that .. or the 4 million plumbers. Builders .electricity workers doctors . Civil servants head teachers . Corgi gas fitters mechanics software engineers bankers architects and ceo. Directors business owners ..railway drivers uni teachers uni. Bosses .

NHS Funding for Mental Health..how about making good food easily affordable instead of so bloody dear so that proper nutrition/minerals are in the diet which has a large effect on mental health.Also the high costs of everything creates such pressure on Parents they can hardly offer behavioral stability to theyre children.The basics in a modern Western country like HEATING..FOOD..WATER ..HEALTH CARE SHOULD NOT BE SO G*D DAMN EXPENSIVE..it should be the basics. Instead it is allowed to be a fairground for predatory business.

Such a ridiculous postion created by the stupid tories. With such an important matter, a qualiied 60% referendum should have been the logical thing to do, it is legally supported and a normal thing to do in all modern democracies. A 40% cannot say anything against a 60%. With all the lies told by the Leave side and such a close result, no wonder that the UK is so divided.
