    I expect that nonsense from Hazir but not from you.

    What have I ever relayed inaccurately?

    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    That sounds unnecessary cruel?

    This was a little surprising, given Tory politicians' well-attested love for pigs

    The UK has negotiated a trade deal with New Zealand. Seems like the most positive prediction on its impact on the British economy is that it will add nothing at all. That’s when things go well

    OK, we're putting raw sewage into the rivers now.
    The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
    The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
    When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
    I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

    Been a lot of this kind of talk recently from people who would normally not speak out against Brexit. Like the way the media and his party suddenly turned on Johnson, it's like a switch has flipped somewhere and it's suddenly ok to admit Brexit is doing significant and measurable economic damage.

    And yet Starmer thinks there's a success story to be found in it.

    Which is a big reason for me to think we're better off without you.

    Starmer lives in abject, trembling fear of the right wing press and the massive voting demographic he believes they represent.

    Brexit continues to begin:

    The Economic Impact of Brexit

    This paper examines the impact of the UK's decision to leave the European Union (Brexit) in 2016. Using almost a decade of data since the referendum, we combine simulations based on macro data with estimates derived from micro data collected through our Decision Maker Panel survey. These estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%. These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process. Comparing these with contemporary forecasts – providing a rare macro example to complement the burgeoning micro- literature of social science predictions – shows that these forecasts were accurate over a 5-year horizon, but they underestimated the impact over a decade.

    The pitfalls of too-direct democracy. Only let people vote when they understand what they are voting for. Same thing got Trump elected, twice, though in this case the misdirection, lies, and fear/hate mongering were the strategy, not the flaw in the Republican campaign.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
