Glad you found an AUP-compliant version. I wonder if the FT is considered part of the anti growth coalition or wokerati now. The great divide in British politics is no longer between socialists and capitalists, it’s realists and fantasists.

Not fully in character there.

Spelling "independent" correctly was a huge red flag to me.

You are Suella Braverman and I claim £5.

Congrats on getting reappointed !

Of course Corbyn would have been a disaster wouldn't he?

You are Rishi Sunak and I claim my £5.
He loves to mention Corbyn at every opportunity to try and deflect attention from the utter chaos of the Tory "government".

At least there is an admission (from Hunt) that Brexit has, up to now caused harm to the economy but, there are yet more promises that it will improve.
Unfortunately, while we wait for the magical, mystical, improvement, the country is falling further and further behind other nations.

UKCA mark requirement postponed again, to 2025 now. If I was a cynic, I’d say it has been left as a turd in the bog for the next government to deal with, to howls of faux-patriotic outrage from those who know perfectly well how unworkable it’d be to make it a universal requirement.

Could It be he knows he's on a winner here

Slightly desperate if you ask me.
The last 3 PM's have made Corbyn look like a class act.

It's just a cheap mudslinging exercise and frankly, if that is the best defence that Sunak has, heaven help us all.

It would now seem that, in order to achieve his 100+ backers, Sunak has been happy to give cabinet posts to "soiled goods", Williamson, Braverman and now Raab all look like damaged good, all given cabinet posts in return for their support of Sunak.
Williamson gone and Braverman & Raab hanging on by their fingernails.

How many more will be found out ?

Ask me one on pop music

Is that a song by "M" ?

Not much gets past you is there squire

but to be clear I was talking about pop music in general terms if that helps, I'm sure that most intelligent people get more pleasure listening to music than listen to Jeremy Corbyn.

Or any other politician ?

In fairness, they (politicians) are not there to entertain us. Someone should have mentioned this to Matt "hanky panky" Hancock though.

Those two words politician and fairness don't seem to fit in with each other in my view.

For a bonus point, what is the real name of M?

That's easy it's Robin, always reminds me of the Labour party.

Yep, Robin Scott.
I looked him up, he's 75 years old now.
I can remember when the single came out and charted.

Me too, and that's just scary Mind you, it was released in '79 but, still......

We were in the "common market" back then.
Not complaining about lack of growth in the economy, due to putting up barriers between ourselves and our closest significant trading partners.Oops.

Oops. If it was JUST the common market we'd still be in it.

No we wouldn’t not with the ERG, they will only accept the return of our empire.

Really ??

I think you underestimate the power of the little englanderes controlling the Tory Party just now.
The one thing that is certain is that "project fear" were bang on with their predictions. Hardly surprising when we've put barriers in the way of trading with our neighbours.

As for controlling our borders, that isnt going too well either.

Yes really. IMO it was the Maastricht treaty that was the catalyst for the leave movement.

Doubtful. If that was the case we would have made attempts to join EFTA or tried to negotiate a deal similar that Switzerland have. Which isn't as good as being in the common market as we would still have to produce customs paperwork but does deliver some of the benefits.

We didn't because being in regulatory alignment was one of the red lines.

If we were in the common market Brexit Britain wouldn't have been able to offer Australia (a country that still upholds a ban on British beef) relaxation of standards on meat imports in return for a terrible trade deal that's massively weighted in their favour.
Still the EU couldn't reach and agreement with Australia as quickly as we did could they? To quote Michael Gove they're hamstrung by the need to ensure any trade deal is advantageous to it's member nations. As if that's a bad thing!

It does have to be said how well its going.

The UK has gone from top to bottom of the table for G7 nations and immigration is up, despite "taking back control" of our borders.
If it wasnt so serious, it would be hilarious but, in the words of Mr Farage "you're not laughing now".
Meanwhile, some of those on the right of politics and their hedge fund friends have made a bloody fortune out of the country sinking.
Quite ironic, given that many of them pretend to be so patriotic.

Liz Truss talked about "the anti-growth coalition" but, Brexit is one of the main reasons for the huge drop off in exports.
Now, where are those new markets ??
