Sir Keir Starmer has once again shafted the UK economy and is too daft to realise this is exactly why many will vote Reform and ditch Labour forever.

Boris Johnson summed things up rather well yesterday, I thought, Possums, when he used sevent words to label our hapless Prime Minister the “orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels”. Simply put, we’ve been shafted, we’ve been lied to and stitched up like a kipper. The ritzy display put on for this abomination at Lancaster House was gut-wrenching, vomit-inducing theatre. I’m surprised there wasn’t a good supply of sick bags on hand whilst entering the room where this fiasco took place.
The “deal” labelled as “win-win” for British working people, creates the illusion of freefall grocery prices at the supermarket amongst other “benefits”, Two-Tier said as much. So, we should be ecstatic, or should we be pining for the heady days of our former membership of this politically and morally bankrupt union?
A once-in-a-generation referendum was held and we opted as a country to exit the EU with a simple majority. This was further reinforced by the landslide of the 2019 general election, when the Labour Red Wall was breached and collapsed in large part due to the Brexit issue.
For a porky-telling PM to pronounce that this “deal” is what we voted for last year is pure unadulterated hogwash! The recent surge in the vote for Reform UK is a clear indication of this.
This surrender of sovereignty signals an even more odious intent on the part of Two-Tier and his band of Cabinet cretins. These are but the first steps on the road back into the permanent clutches of the EU, and if you don’t believe that then take heed of Ursula von der Leyen’s words: “The deal provided a road map for even closer relations between Britain and the EU in future. We are turning a page.”
The crowning glory of this madness is the economic effect that it inflicts on ordinary people. We, the British taxpayer, gets to stump up for it by once again pouring money into the bottomless coffers of Brussels.
We all remember the horror of “quantitive easing” and we’re still on the hook for the debts piled up during the years of our membership.
QE, by the way, is a process where the Bank of England, or any central bank for that matter, fires up the printing presses by creating money that is used to buy government bonds, known as gilts. The primary purpose of the exercise is to help drive down the cost of borrowing, which sounds nice doesn’t it, Possums?
Indeed, but don’t forget gilts are basically a government IOU, ergo… debt. And who pays the price? At some point in the foreseeable future that debt has to be repaid, deferred or rolled over.
It’s amazing how creative financial boffins can be when it comes to accounting practices that effectively obscure the true picture.
Two-Tier talks about common sense in his atrocious sell-out, but basic common sense ought to tell you that if you are spending more than you earn then the arithmetic simply doesn’t add up.
The most egregious part of yesterdays announcement is the total capitulation and surrender of our coastal marine resources. How can we call ourselves a maritime nation if we have no viable commercial fishing industry, especially after years of decline to the point of extinction courtesy of the EU common fisheries policy?
Catch quotas in OUR waters to accommodate foreign fishing vessels and fishermen is the price we have been bullied into accepting for 12 years.
We got ambushed by the French at the last minute in the “reset” negotiations ultimately agreeing to shift our position from four years to the twelve, a threefold increase.
The Brexit debate is not done, Prime Minister. Far from it. You have sold us down the swanny in a costly debacle simply conjured up to indulge your vanity and fetish like desire to canoodle with the EU.
And while we’re at it, how about stop it with the divisive rhetoric of constantly referencing “working people” in this country. We will all have to pay the price for your incompetence regardless of who we are.

“Making a bad situation a little better is apparently a “surrender” and “treason”. I wonder how many people will fall for this rhetoric another time?”
