    The money's going to the North and Midlands becasue we are giving nothing by comparison to London. And they call Brexiteers thick. We will actually make things better for many more people. More anti-Brexit propaganda.

    When did MP's voting on principle become such an old-fashioned idea?

    Higher taxes for very little in return! The injustice is astounding and yet these politicians are act like they are virtuous and noble knowing full well that the debt shackles on the public and thereby people cannot speak out in outrage.

    Maybe the PM did it on purpose because she doesn’t want the vote to get through. Who knows what the agenda really is.

    This…was Theresa May’s big idea, her plan, her ace card. Thunk about that, our country leader came up with this and thought it was a good plan.

    The sheep didn't vote the way they wanted so the wise leaders will fix it for them and give them the proper result.

    I don't understand why they would vote for the deal when the funds are available whether they vote for the deal or not

    And once out of the EU; the poorest areas in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will become even poorer. Because Westminster will not step up to fill the holes left by the lack of EU funding.

    You could also have mentioned that the bribe is just a fraction of the EU-fundings this towns have recieved so far.

    I live in Tenerife south, highly dependent on British tourism. Everyone is very worried that Recession already happening… within that market. British imperialism is gonna pay the price.

    Unless it's a double bluff and she WANTED it to backfire so that we'd have a no deal brexit…

    January 7, 2024 at 6:46 am

    The impoverished leave voting areas will lose all their EU funding once we leave the EU such as the former coal field development fund paid for by the EU. May's money wouldn't even make up for this so coupled with the austerity cuts over the last 10 years these areas will still be facing massive real terms cuts.

Could Another Brexit Debate End Farage?

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.

Remainers: Why Hasn’t the Economy Collapsed Yet? – Brexit Explained

Published

on



TeeSpring Store: https://teespring.com/stores/tldr-winter

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.
