Not one Guardian journalist has looked into the post-Brexit scandal that will privatize the UK, a Tory/Labour corporate coup known as Special Economic Zones.

Ignorance isn't an excuse or defence.

Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay & more - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak.bsky.social

Vauxhall’s troubles started with Brexit - former Luton plant boss Mark Noble says export tariffs were one factor leading to the closure of the Luton plant.

Vauxhall's troubles began with Brexit - former boss.

"When you’ve got two plants that export 80% of their build, then tariff confusion and no clarity really hurt the two plants."

Brexit’s the trainwreck we all saw coming, but the Tories’ desperate cover-ups make it even uglier. Instead of owning their mess, they’re doubling down, spinning lies, and hoping no one notices the chaos. The truth? They broke it, and now they’re too f*cking useless to fix it. #ukpolitics

Vauxhall-maker warns Brexit may force it to close UK factory Vauxhall-maker Stellantis is calling on the government to renegotiate some Brexit rules or risk losing electric

Yes we have @LibDemDaisy as our MP. Unfortunately the #LibDems have watered their #RejoinEU stance down, rather than putting it front and centre.

There's a clear majority who would now back rejoining and it would set the LibDems apart and be a breath of fresh air against the right wing parties IMO.

How long are #Labour, #LibDems and the #Greens going to ignore the Tory #Brexit disaster?

Brexit was self-harming.

The UK public need an honest debate about Brexit and to understand the benefits of rejoining the EU.
