Ten years after Brexit, this is the UK: a divided nation frozen in time | Aditya Chakrabortty Tribalism has not faded over the past decade. Instead, new research reveals our politics has become ever-more polarised and fractious, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Ten years after Brexit, the UK is a divided nation frozen in time.

No economic gain, culture wars rife, minorities scapegoated.

Parties jostle over who can be more authoritarian; say little about inequalities, civil rights, public ownership, quality of life.

Architect of Brexit became richer.

Thank you, Carmen! 💙🫶

I recall when Thatcher claimed that privatisation would lead to significantly lower energy prices, insisting it was the only solution. What a colossal lie from someone who has brought nothing but disgrace to our nation. The UK has the most expensive energy pricing in Europe.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

The United States is currently led by a demented old man who seems far more captivated by social events than by the lives of American soldiers in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Republican senators, who could easily put an end to this absurdity, choose to look the other way. It's complete madness.

ReformUK Ltd support is sinking in the polls, but you wouldn't know it from their media presence. It's almost impressive how they manage to maintain such a high profile despite their dwindling support. One can't help but wonder what kind of dirt they’re threatening to throw to stay in the spotlight.

The billionaires who support Trump - with their massive news, media & 'entertainment' giants - are complicit in his crimes against Americans and the world.

Ellison, Murdoch, Bezos, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Musk and others...

...are in control of the news Trump wants you to see.

Ridley Scott has never received an Academy Award for Best Director, which raises questions about the credibility of the Oscars. This glaring oversight serves as a compelling reason to dismiss the significance of the awards altogether.

It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Did you vote for this?

Wages taxed at marginal rates of 20%-45% + NIC.

Dividends taxed at rates of 8.75% to 39.35%. No NIC.

Capital gains at rates 18% to 32%. No NIC.

Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.

Democracy and social justice... whose?

The UK should avoid entangling itself in the internal matters of that country. Additionally, reports suggest that the deceased Ayatollah's son is set to assume leadership, indicating that the anticipated regime change may not materialize as expected. 2/2

The morning segment on @gmb highlighted the growing pressure on the UK to engage in an unlawful military intervention in Iran. While it is undeniable that Iran is led by a regime of radical Islamists with antiquated ideologies, the choice to act remains theirs. 1/2

2024 a Trump election tag line… NO NEW WARS
So far Trump has escalated military engagement with Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen.
He's threatened Greenland, Panama, Columbia, Mexico, Cuba and Egypt to date.
A true man of his word.

Prediction - don't have go.

Man City will win the league.
Arsenal will bottle it.
West Ham Utd will be relegated, along with Burnley and Wolves

£100 bet what odds?

The people of the United Kingdom, along with those who value decency and respect around the globe, should consider cutting ties with the USA. This includes boycotting American holidays, products, and services. His administration is an embarrassment for a nation that was once held in high regard.
