The government’s policy of ever closer relations with the EU will damage our slow and stuttering growth more.
It means sending more money to the EU which in turn means putting up taxes further. It is Labour’s massive tax rises to date that have slowed growth, destroyed jobs, slashed vacancies and put up unemployment. Why do more of the same?
It means adopting the higher carbon taxes under the EU emissions scheme, putting up the costs of energy. Far from helping abate the cost of living crisis they talk about, it will make it worse.
It means adopting a version of the EU carbon border tax or tariff, designed to make things we import from outside the EU dearer if they have used fossil fuel energy in their production and transport. That might invite retaliatory damaging tariffs from the US and others.
It means accepting more young migrants from the EU keeping wages lower and taking job opportunities our young people need.
Far from boosting our exports it is more likely to boost our imports and displace imports from non EU. This will not increase our GDP and will help push up the cost of living.

It will be interstellar to see what happens to cars. We are the only country not applying tariffs to Chinese cars but this won’t be possible if we rejoin the Customs Union. Also the ban on ICE vehicles from 2030 won’t be allowed. Perhaps the idea of joining is to give a smokescreen for ditching these things under the pretext of compliance.
Reform have said they will cancel all these agreements so Brussels must see Starmergeddon is a dead man walking, so perhaps they won’t be so keen to let us in after taking our money.
We really are being taken for fools by this pile of excrement in Westminster. The stables really need a good clean and disinfectant.
December 28, 2025
More likely if Reform looks like winning in 2029 (if there is to be a general election then, which is by no means guaranteed) is Starmer’s Gang and the EU urgently formalising at the 11th hour, a treaty of compliance with a raft of EU future regulations. Indeed, if they start and progress negotiations then they would also have an excuse to delay the general election in order to conclude and ratify “a historic” reset of relations to end uncertainty and to provide for future stabillity enabling long term investment planning for businesses and other such falsehhoods.

Perhaps Labour will cancel the next General Election.

We are a self governing country the sooner these politicians get that into there thick heads the better, we’ve tried being apart of the dreaded EU and looked what happened to our heavy and car industries, we will not be pushed around again like a lap poodle so if people don’t want to be part of a country run by its citizens then bugger off and live in your beloved EU bye bye you’ll not be missed
December 28, 2025
Well the people perhaps will not be pushed around that easily but this government who have a huge majority (thanks to Sunak and the dire net zero Con-socialists) and three+ more years or more if he continues to cancel elections!
December 28, 2025
No, we are not self-governing. The Establishment has ensured that we remain semi-attached and we are significantly still under the control of the EU (and ECHR).
December 28, 2025
Starmer’s Gang are not thick. They don’t want Britain to be a self-governing country. They want it governed by the EU, because it is the closst they can get to their global socialist order.
December 28, 2025
Exactly, but it is surely rather clear that virtually everything Labour is doing is anti-growth, anti-jobs, anti-business, anti-feee speech, anti Britain, anti-democratic, anti-Semitic. Either Reeves, 2Tier, Lammy, Mamood, Miliband, Phillipson… are extremely dim and totally deluded or they do actually want to kill growth and damage the UK at every turn or both. No other explanations are there?
December 28, 2025
Look at the dire list of replacement for 2 Tier – Streeting, Rayner, Burnham, Mamood, Miliband, Cooper-Balls, Powell, Healey, Lammy, Phillipson… god help us!
Cannot see Streeting (the favourite) myself, not sufficiently mad for most members, plus he will struggle to even be an MP after the next election! He had a majority of 528 in the 2024 general election!
December 28, 2025
The government don’t care.
They will do it anyway, with encouragement from the Liberal Democrats.
December 28, 2025
Yet again Labour demonstrates its contempt for democracy. Cancelation of local elections, and now the drive back into the EU, contemptable.
I cannot see Kemi reversing it because her parliamentry party will not let her. Judge them historically from the traitorous May till they lost power.
We must await the election in 2029 if not canceled. Could be earlier if the money lenders call a halt. Sooner the better. The damage Labour have inflicted in 18 months will be as nothing if they are allowed a further three and a half years.

See the Dr John Campbell Video “anger at excess deaths” with excess death figure from Japan broken down by MRNA vaccinations and not vaccinated deaths with dates of deaths after the vaccination date. Hugely damning but even more damning is the appalling refusal to reveal the anonymised UK figures which surely confirms that the UK figures are similarly damning – why else would they want to hide them?
The truth is coming out like it or not – the sooner the UK blob admits it and see if anything can be done for those not dead and just injured the better! How long do they think they can hide this vast Covid Vaccine negligence? Will it be like the blood contamination delay, Hillsborough, Thalidomide, the Post Office… 20 plus years?

Good morning.
The EU is Socialism. These moves are ideological and do not reflect what the British people want. We in 2016 voted for BREXIT and yet, without a vote / mandate we are moving to ever closer union with the EU.
Those that complain about BREXIT are anti-democratic. They do not respect the will of the people and, in time, should those who wish looser ties with the EU take power we should not consider the views of Remainers.

European nations are places full of good people but the EU is a condition we must avoid to prevent further contamination of our own poor financial health.
December 28, 2025
We must conclude the Labour Party’s insistence we reengage fully with the EU is a policy based on destruction of Western industrial strength and nothing else. All of the EU efforts this far have been focused on blunting Western power, in the case of energy policy, literally.
The end result will be an impoverished Europe unable to defend its own territory and unable to prevent the ongoing invasion of migrants moving in or armed enemies from taking control of previously sovereign well run secure countries.
Marxism and Islamisation are not benign changes to our national wellbeing.

The EU is a political project, not an economic one. Those pushing the political project in the UK don’t care about the economic effects here and they never have. It is all about creating a European Superstate and “having a seat at the table.”
The EU Zealots in the Establishment had almost succeeded in their decades-long mission to destroy our ability to function as an independent country when we voted to LEAVE. They refused to do that and instead shackled us in a semi-detached status which was then undermined with the Windsor Treachery. We are now semi-attached and Two-Tier is steadily re-attaching shackles, one-by-one.
The Establishment EU Zealots will completely destroy our economic viability, if necessary, in order to get us back in. They want us incapable of functioning as an independent, Sovereign nation and if that means beggaring the British people, then so be it.

Labour has a magic money tree, don’t you know! It has probably already drafted another of those Labour notes to leave for the next government, “There’s no money left … …” and is probably rolling around laughing in anticipation. The Fabian riddled Gang of Starmer does not know how to build a country, only how to destroy one in order to create its global socialist order.

The fossil fuel cartel is clutching at straws; it’s business model is rapidly collapsing under the relentless development of global renewable energy, which surged in 2025. Solar PV and wind contributed ~90% of new power generation capacity. Particularly in China, where they are building huge HVDC transmission systems to send vast amounts of renewable juice from the Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Hebei, Shandong, Gansu deserts to the major population centres of Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Guangzhou, Schen, Wuhan, Tianjin, Xi’an, and Hangzhou
Why is this? Renewable energy is enjoying economies of scale which make installation and generation extremely cheap. Far cheaper than building new nuclear, CCGT, coal or oil based generation
The right-wing populist politicians and their media mouthpieces continue to fight the fossil fuel cartel’s rear-guard action for them. Today we read that, despite substantial renewable electricity exports to the EU in 2025 and improvements in grid capacity, “wasted electricity, aka curtailment” is costing British bill payers £15/year. Or 4p a day.
Wow. I had no idea it was so much. Transmission losses via our obsolete LVAC pylon system – built to send coal-generated juice around the country – were estimated in 2024 at 8.75% of total non-renewable generation.
Reply Dream on. Electricity only supplies 20% of world energy and that 20% still includes a lot of coal/oil/gas fired plant

Starmer will ensure that closer alignment comes with extremely high financial penalties for any withdrawal by a future government, thereby ensuring no such thing. The legal text of a say 10 year alignment with EU energy market rules will make provision for a fine of £50-£100 bn for amendment or withdrawal. The agreement will be presented as ‘the best of both worlds’ by Mr Miliband – freedom to develop renewable energy at home and ‘all the benefits we used to enjoy in terms of full access to continental energy via the inter connectors’. This approach will be repeated across all sectors where alignment will apply. Then the clamour for fully rejoining the EU from the mainstream media will become unstoppable and presented as merely a natural and logical development. Even though rejoining will mean the Euro as our currency and an annual membership fee of say £25 bn with no rebate. In future, anyone arguing for a Brexit would be subject to severe ridicule: ‘we tried all that before and look how bad it all turned out’.

I’ve always thought the Titanic anology a ggod one. We should have never have boarded the SS.EU in the first place but having done so, we had the good sense to man a lifeboat and start rowing away. The lifeboat is small and cold, whilst back on the ship the lights are still on and we can hear the orchestra still playing. Starmer is busy turning our boat and wants to row back to apparent safety.
Unfortunately, the Titanic is badly holed and sinking fast. Others still on board have noticed and soon there will be panic and a rush for the remaining lifeboats.
Best we keep rowing away before the EU goes down and sucks us all down with it. It’s every man for themselves now – and time to realise that…

The Prime Minister said: ‘I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief.’
Plus all these liebour lefties luvvies who also back him back onto our shores they must be as thick as the liebour politicians in Westminster but you could back your bottom dollar they wouldn’t want him living next door , get into the real world and not some scripted lines Muppets

I fear this is the intention, not just to make us subservient to the EU but also to drain what money we have.
During our time in the EU as well as when we left, the EU treated us like a cash cow, aided and abetted by our own politicians, who had decided that whatever the EU wanted they could have.
The treacherous guile with which Starmer is forever positioning us closer to the EU is I’m sure driven by Blair policies, because they have no logic and very little support from the people of the UK, and Blair is still looking for a big EU job.
What will he indulge his fantasies in next – Perhaps a war that we can never win?
