On the economic side I’m inclined to agree with you that I don’t think the EU is a miracle growth cure. However, you could argue that Brexit has helped sink all boats (at least a bit). I think it’s easy for people to dismiss the UK’s importance to Europe, but just like the US tariffs I suspect it hurts everybody.
My issue is that it’s a heroic assumption that a society where we go and burn down the centres of our democracy is going to be improvement over today. These things don’t happen in a vacuum. I have plenty of things I’d change if I was in charge, but I also look around the world and I think Britain has a lot worth defending.
Bit much mate
I’m wondering what UK based tech companies are critically dependent on American customers? My gut would have said it’s better to accept the reciprocal tariffs.
Ugh 10 people probably read this who became reform voters
