Potash is one piece of the puzzle, we still rely heavily on imports for the rest.

This is the domestic side of the Mandelson scandal: Atlanticist elite deal-making that puts US 🇺🇸 capital first.
🆘 Former competition regulator boss drops bombshell:
Labour is “holding the economy back” by favouring US tech giants over British competitors.
Marcus Bokkerink says the government has “stood down” the CMA, creating dangerous dependency on a handful of American 🇺🇸 firms and killing innovation.
I’ve been warning for a decade: Brexit would wreck our food resilience.
Experts like Tim Lang and Prof Chris Elliott said the same - all ignored.
Now Trump’s actions in Iran mean every farmer can see what’s coming.
The govt is totally unprepared, out of touch, and cloth-eared and it is scary.
The party that campaigns hardest against the establishment and tax avoidance now finds itself accused of exactly that.
🚨Sun Times:
Richard Tice’s companies appear to have failed to pay £100,000+ in corporation tax on profits, while funnelling over £1 million in donations to Reform UK.
Tice calls it a “technicality” but critics say it looks like aggressive tax avoidance benefiting both him personally and his party.
So funny
What a glorious sight!

Starmer is a more accomplished liar than Johnson.
Or put another way he’s more deceitful.

May and Johnson did yes and Starmer continues it.
💭 Remember Farage in 2018?
“Join the Brexit club …you’ll love it.”
2026 reality check: Hungary 🇭🇺 voted Viktor Orbán out and chosen to stay firmly in the EU.
They looked at Brexit Britain: stagflation, energy shocks, exposure and said: no.
Hungary dodged the trap Britain is still stuck in!

🤡 The Brexit irony is extraordinary.
Britain helped design a system to manage/control borders across Europe.
Then we chose to leave, turning ourselves from insiders into third-country aliens.
Now 🇬🇧 citizens are subject to very scrutiny Brexiters wanted to impose on others.
Brexit lost control.
UK’s security and prosperity depend more than ever on building genuine capability at home (food, nuclear, grid, storage, resilient supply chains), reliable partnerships in Europe rather than hoping US will save us.
Era of having it both ways is over. Realism, not ideology, must guide next steps.
Britain allowed a frauderendum (full of Russian interference) to pull up our EU moorings and lean hinto an increasingly unpredictable US relationship.
Now trust across the Atlantic is fraying as Brexit exposed Britain to global shocks: energy prices, Hormuz disruptions and food security risks.
The parallels are uncomfortable: overreach, contradictory messaging, economic blowback, and the rapid erosion of allied trust.
But for Britain, the implications are clear, we cannot afford strategic nostalgia.
🧵 1/4
✅ @nfergus’s essay in The Times is a sobering read.
He warns that America’s struggle for control of Strait of Hormuz risks becoming ‘Suez Crisis’ but potentially even more damaging to US credibility than 1956 was to Britain.
🚨 So on one hand we’re told there’s a Brexit reset.
BUT on the other, EU citizens are facing crackdowns on their right to live here.
Closer ties with Europe are about people, trust, reciprocity.
Tightening screws on EU citizens, undermines relations!

💯
Starmer is committed to Brexit red lines and Mandelson agenda.
My home town is awesome
🇬🇧 Britain stomped off from EU’s large, integrated, rules-based market and its cushioning effect on trade/supply chains, to lean more into global exposure, including greater reliance on the US for security and 🦄 trade bonanza.
But Trump’s #IranWar global energy shock hits Brexit Britain hardest.
We need more moderates back on Twitter.
And even Brexit’s architects from David Frost to Nigel Farage are starting to distance themselves from Trump.
How do we escape this trap? We need to admit American dream is a fool’s errand and reconnect with our continent.
We traded resilience for ideology and now we’re really paying for 🦄 it.
But reality’s a bitch, especially with Trump. Brexit Britain is most exposed to needing imports which are soaring thanks to Trump’s war & anaemic growth stalls.
Now the toxic reality of stagflation - which @adamposen.bsky.social always predicted was inevitable brexit consequence - looks certain.
