BREXIT - Is This Really Still Rumbling On? 😴

If you’re not we’d had a Party in charge for a long time that could have introduced such a system. You’re acting like the last 14 years didn’t exist. All these things that are suddenly issues that need fixing haven’t happened in the last 5 months so why is it only now you consider them problems?

Not as well as I would like. I am wondering what Labour are doing to address the issue.

BB beat me to it. There's a natural (incorrect) assumption that services are doing badly.

How many points do you need? These are just off the top of my head without consulting the internet.
It's now more expensive to send kids to private schools. I'm not actually sure of the benefit of this, but I'm assuming that someone somewhere thinks there is a benefit somehow.
The government has just launched its ludicrously ambitious Clean Power 2030 plan - part of this is exporting power to the EU. There is no longer a need to involve the EU commission in setting up any of the subsidies.
The EU has whacked a load of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in order to prevent dumping / desperately cling on to the idea that the EU can make something. The UK doesn't have to pay the tax which allows it to compete in other areas such as services.

I didn't say services were doing badly. Just that the government had done nothing really to make things easier and in some ways, though more relevant for exports of physical things, have made things harder.

Given how much capacity needs to be built to replace existing imports of electricity and to replace existing gas powered electricity, I don't think we really need to worry about being a net exporter of electricity any time soon, notwithstanding anything the always practical Miliband tells us.
And how does whacking VAT on private school fees make it easier for the rest of the economy to "do productive stuff"?

No idea with regard to VAT on private schools, but some people think it is a good idea, so there must be a benefit in their eyes.

Agreed. Massive challenge for Cooper & Starmer to sort the mess.
I don't think they can tbh.

Excellent news for Chris!
There is nothing else worth reading on there.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Haha. Just in case Stevo or anyone else thinks I'm without balance on Brexit, I had this response on Bluesky to a fairly vanilla comment of mine about Starmer:

We'll soon see if the brake is attached to anything.

This is a long but good read, which puts all the noise and bluster about 'Brexit betrayal' into context.
tl;dr Frost is still just a wrecker

If you can Bluesky, this is an interesting thread on the RMT:
tl;dr They won't answer if their pro-Brexit stance still stands despite the evidence since. They simply won't answer anything, just questioning the motives of the person asking.
I got roundly slapped down by a Corbynite on Bluesky for suggesting Corbyn was an ill-disguised Brexiter (as the EU would have prevented his separatist socialist utopia), being told confidently that he campaigned for Remain. Yeah, right. Those unicorns were in the minds of those on the extremes of both the left and the right.
