#Starmer decides to use #Trump induced #tariff chaos as an excuse to row back on EV targets for 2030 and slash planning regs (aka environmental protections) while his ministers claim they’ve unearthed A #Brexit bonus - we’re still being kicked in the nuts, but not poked in the eye at the same time like the EU.
My hopes were low, but they’ve just gone through the floor
Starmer has effectively silenced the Left in terms of reversing the damage of #Brexit for years now. He has wanted us all to assume it’s done and dusted, put to bed and now we have to lie in that cold lonely bed.
But, despite it all, we still do more trade with the EU as our closest neighbours than we do with the US.
#Starmer needs to get his arse off the fence and re-embrace the EU. A US trade deal will be toxic on all levels.
Just rejoin the common market you cretin!
Ir better still, reverse #BREXIT
“We’re not a third world country, we’re England!” is a distinctly hilarious post-#Brexit whinge. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/apr/05/were-not-a-third-world-country-were-england-anger-rises-as-birminghams-bin-strike-takes-toll-on-locals
Macron leaning over to a distraught Starmer and consoling him over the difficult news that the US is not our friend.
You would hope the son of a toolmaker would be more open to knocking all that brexit nonsense on the head, wouldn't you?

@jeffjarvis I have many American friends, from the time I lived and worked in Boston. But today America should hang its head in shame. Either that, or stand up and insist the carrot head be removed from office. This is #Brexit but in a far larger scale. The greatest act of self-harm the world has ever seen.
He also envisioned a fractured #EU, torn apart by #nationalism and internal disputes. Cue #Brexit, rising far-right movements, and debates over which pro-#Russian EU party is the biggest headache for #Brussels. And all this was already planned back in 1997.

My book Flipping Patriarchy, by @manwhohasitall just arrived! I got a letter from DHL about a package of mine in the customs, but I had no idea what it could be. When I saw that it was coming from Bristol, UK, I guessed that it was the book I supported two years ago.
It took me some time to understand that I had to send the receipt, after saying was just a book. But it worked out in the end. Thank you, Brexiters, for making it harder to buy a book made in the UK!
I really wish our slow Prime Minister could understand how Brexit is used as an example around the World of what NOT to do. But I fear it would be like trying to run Doom on a pocket calculator
@cstross Nobody listens to us Brits, they just repeat our mistakes and think it's different because it's not in a British accent.
It rather damages our claim to be the only country to have imposed economic sanctions on ourselves. (-:
But, we won't be doing any of that. We'll be dropping the Tory Tax on Social Media companies, getting tighter on Abortion and allowing American Anti-Abortion protestors to harass Women, whatever it takes to supplicate the UK to the US....
@mastodonmigration they did this during Brexit too, it worked on the half country. Everybody is miserable now, but our masters are not going to undo Brexit, just become a Vassal of the US instead.
@mikegalsworthy do us citizens get a say or is Labour just going to decide for us?
