I think they may have underestimated Trumps ability to bankrupt…it won’t be a hit it’ll be total mutually assured destruction.

Any country or corporation who invests in the US currently is an idiot. You can’t guarantee that profits won’t be removed by the Government, you can’t guarantee that highly trained staff won’t be arrested and you can’t guarantee that your equipment won’t be seized. You were warned.

While I appreciate your objection I am concerned about coercion in relation to abortion. I respect a woman’s right to choose. I am frustrated that men do not acknowledge their accountability in unwanted pregnancy. Abortion is not a choice I would have made.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
So I read up on the law and until the vote in June 2025 although under some circumstances under the 1967 act abortion was allowed it remained a criminal offence when obtained outside this law. It now isn’t a criminal offence. There are a multitude of reasons for voting against the bill.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
Abortion is not criminal in the UK. It was made legal in 1967. When was there a vote to criminalise abortion? When did that come into effect? How can one vote against decriminalising abortion if it isn’t illegal?

20. Brexit’s negative impact on productivity is enduring and structural. An analysis conducted by NIESR colleagues, published in November 2023, suggested that UK business investment could have been about 12.4 per cent higher in 2023 if Brexit did not happen.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
19. Chronic underinvestment, worsened by Brexit-related uncertainty, Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows dropped by 37 per cent between 2016 and 2022 as multinational companies relocated operations to the EU to preserve access to the single market.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
18. In 2023, the UK remained the only G7 nation that had not recovered to its pre-pandemic level of GDP.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
17. Employers have struggled with staff shortages amid the loss of previously readily available EU workers, particularly in construction, hospitality and manufacturing.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
16. In 2024, goods exports to the EU were 18% below their 2019 level in real terms. We usually want goods exports to grow rather than reduce with our largest trading partner.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
14. New trade deals with non-EU countries will not have a material impact, and any effect will be gradual. So nothing to see here.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
13. UK GDP in Q2 2025 was 4.5% above its pre-pandemic level of Q4 2019. This compares with Eurozone GDP being 6.0% higher, with GDP in Germany up by 0.1% (the lowest in the G7).

9. The UK has to pay the EU as part of its Brexit agreement £6.4bn. It has already paid £14.9bn since 2021 All part of the Brexit agreement..well done How is that better than getting money?

8. The UK was also receiving a negotiated "rebate" on its EU Budget contributions of around £4bn a year - money which never actually left the country for membership of a very lucrative market.
Demelza Klass (She/Her) (@demelzaklass.bsky.social) reply parent
7. Before leaving the EU the UK received up to £5bn in 2019-20 for agriculture, development grants to support skills, employment and training in certain economically disadvantaged regions of the nation. Now we get nothing, nada.. how is that good?

1. Impact on goods trade has been negative, 30% lower than if we hadn’t left 2. Our borrowing costs more 3. No evidence according to OBR that the negative impact will turn to positive. 4. We lost EU nurses resulting in shortages in the NHS
