Nothing quite as reassuring as hearing someone on the Today Programme saying “I think it’s a little early to panic”.

The impact of Brexit on immigration to the UK A new analysis finds that Brexit raised the number of foreign-born workers in the UK by about 200,000, but resulted in a more dramatic shift in the countries of origin.

Brexit

a) reduced EU-origin employees by 785K (2.3% of workforce)

Farage was always a useful idiot for Trump and Banon.

It’s become very clear now 👀

Members opposite promised us that by torching our relationship with Europe, it would make us richer and stronger.

They were wrong on both counts.

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president

Nigel Farage made a huge thing about going to the US, about his relationship with Trump. About Chagos.

But he didn’t meet Trump. He was shut out.

Meanwhile he’s furiously backpedaling on his Iran position because of the polls.

The weasel has no power.

Sad news for the voters of Clacton who were hoping Farage would be able to bend the POTUS’ ear about fortnightly bin collections.

Farage had given the impression that he expected to see Trump, telling an event hosted in opposition to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's proposed Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius that the president "has almost understood the deal... but I'll be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and I will reinforce the message".
But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.

“Farage’s relationship with Trump has cooled”

Not really.
Farage’s relationship with Trump is a one-sided humiliation-fest.
Farage remains desperately needy and willing to sell us out to Trump. But Trump doesn’t see him as important right now.

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper responds to President Trump’s latest outburst.

“The job of the British PM is to take decisions in the national interest of the U.K., not in the interests of other countries… we don’t outsource foreign policy to other countries”.

So #Brexit was about sovereignty and immigrants?

1. Our "sovereignty" lost us much of our EU trade and badly damaged the economy

2. It *increased* migrant numbers, replacing a healthy flow of short-term, often single workers from EU with longer-term immigrants & their dependants

It’s now almost 2 months since Nigel Farage was scheduled to appear on #bbclaurak as part of her Leaders Interview but pulled out due to being “under the weather”

He’s currently in America supporting a foreign president over his own country

Is the Brexit tide turning? East Anglia prepares It’s been 10 long years, but the signs are growing that you can’t keep a good idea down for ever

Hope is rising across East Anglia. Campaigners from Herts to Norfolk are back on the streets with Brexitometers, marches and a renewed push to move Britain closer to the EU...and it's happening across the country.

The 10-year anniversary could be a turning point.

Shame I can’t comment on his posts. Blocked me years ago.
That’s the problem with all these Brexity a-holes; they don’t like ‘difficult questions’ or pointing out they are wrong.
Yet, weasels like him end up in HoL.
Like Gisela Stewart, Claire Fox, Dave C, obviously…

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records."

A weekend of escalating violence in the Middle East intensified concerns around a sustained supply crunch, propelling oil prices to their highest level in four years and triggering a deep stock market sell-off.

And what I don't understand for the life of me,is why many still can't understand this.
America, I read through some of your comments on the state of your country. I honestly don't think you have grasped the seriousness of all this? You have a unhinged megalomaniac in the White House. Do something.
