In response to today’s announcement of 25% tariff on all imported cars to the USA , then I think Prime Minister Kier Starmer has no other choice other than to declare a reciprocal 25% tariff on Tesla cars. It’s now time to tariff Tesla.
Category: Reconsider the Brexit decision
There is clearly a case to reconsider the Brexit decision. Perhaps now in 2025 more than ever before. As Britain negotiates the second term of Donald Trump as US President it appears that world trade and confidence in our trading relationships have become increasingly unstable. What also looks quite unstable is our reliance upon America to be a fully committed partner of NATO. At present Britain finds itself in ‘no man’s land and outside the EU. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider the Brexit decision?
The next reason is because the vote tally should in the original Referendum should have have been adjusted to account for the proportion of British Society that were simply casting a vote promoting their own racist views. In order to this an estimation actual percentage of British People who are deemed to hold racist views should have been allowed for and this proportion then removed from the final tally. I think by now we have already eliminated the slim 3.8% majority that favoured Leave.
The more recent facts that have come into view cast great doubt on the validity of the Leave Campaign’s claims about what would be in Britain’s best interests to leave the EU. It is now much clearer that the UK’s Economy has suffered as a result of Brexit. In particular a no deal Brexit has been disastrous for Britain. The case to recoinsider the Brexit decision is strong and getting stronger through the more information that we have. Now in 2025 we need to look for more stable trading partnerships that discount the USA. Again trading with the EU seems the most favourable.
The ‘Special Relationship’ that seems to rely on Trump’s terms and tantrums
This special relationship between the US and the UK that is supposed to exit and that is so oft referred to seems to be nothing other than a one-sided promise that is dependent upon Donald Trump’s terms and tantrums. This special relationship was announced by Theresa May early on in her premiership and was supposed to be the foundation of the Brexit promise of better trading options post Brexit. It was held up as a model for likely trade agreements outside the EU. Recently we have seen 2 incidents which call this ‘Special Relationship’ into question and shows it up for what it really is: a one-sided attempt by the US to interfere in British Politics and an attempt to assuage power over the British Economy.
Trump lies in wait like a vulture for post Brexit Britain

Brexit: reckless Blindness and Bloody-mindedness
Brexit may be good for Boris but it’s bad for Britain. Given the recent admissions by the British Government that Brexit will severely weaken the British Economy is it still right to press ahead? Can the small majority of 3.8 % still survive the release of information, which only now reveals the true impact on the UK’s Economy of our departure from the EU. Having taken this reality check would not the vote now be much closer with a possible swing to the Remain Campaign instead? Now having the correct information to hand would it now seem to be the time to question the validity of the Referendum Result taken in 2016 and press ahead with these messy Brexit negotiations? Should we not have been given this information before we made our voting choices in 2016 and would it have changed the way we voted if we had been given the correct information? Brexit now seems to be much less about common sense and the common good of UK citizens: and more about the politicians being mindful about a result that seemed more like an opinion poll and worried that by not carrying through Brexit they will suffer in future General Elections.
