  • Yes and an example given is the import/export tariffs. We have no tariffs on goods coming in (including by having a non working customs system) but the EU happily taxes the shit out of our exports.

    I also liked the part about the end of prohibition making it much harder to buy alcohol because where previously there wasn’t much in the way of regulation because of the taxes generated (before US income tax laws) the new regulations had all sorts of clauses like Sunday trading, closing times for bars, age restrictions and the rest. The same will happen with our eventual return to the big table, we will have a very different deal and perhaps use the EU’s powers which we had previously but somehow ignored to come to a settlement on immigration. First item of business is to clear out these utter morons currently squatting inside our parliament

    It depends what’s more important. Labour currently assume that power for powers sake is an acceptable strategy and with their numbers, it currently will be enough. But will that last beyond a parliament? How badly do we need to be rid of the Conservative Party? I’d say it’s essential for progress. Those swathes of centre left MPs will fill the benches by the hundreds and Starmer will need to be pragmatic to pass any bills.

    I just think the doubts of what Labour are for are entirely valid, but there’s also the pressing matter of destroying the people who have gleefully ruined this country. As a sports fan I say take ‘em to the fucking cleaners. As a Labour man I can see a pressing need to release some Labour policies instead of hounding the left out.
