If growth is irrelevant why is your leader claiming that he’d pay for all his pie in the sky tax cuts from the much higher growth he thinks would come from rejoining the single market?

That’s the best you can do? You really are devoid of substance when it comes to argument. You’ve lived in your own little echo chamber for so long you’ve stopped doing your homework to keep abreast of what’s actually happening.

Not at all. It’s thanks to net zero we’ve lost most of our diesel refineries and have now to rely on imports.

Brendan O’ Neill sums up all the discussion surrounding Israel vs Ireland on Sunday night. Every word. Nailed it. “There is no way to explain this mania and hypocrisy…” 🎯🎯🎯

I look forward to you spearheading the campaign to rejoin the EU and join the euro. I’m sure the British people will embrace both very warmly.

Not a great fan 0f fruit. you?

So making up quotes and attributing them to me. Didn’t say we’d have to join the euro. Said we’d have to if we wanted the lower borrowing rates. Non-euro Poland pays even more than non-euro UK to borrow over 10 years. A lot more.

Your chart stops 2022. Between 2017-2025 UK real GDP growth was 9%, EU-27 11%. So only 2 points in it — and EU boosted by rebound of Club Med countries after Eurozone crisis.

SpaceX will literally have rocket landing pads on Mars before we build a new runway at Heathrow. No exaggeration.

Every single assertion you make is factually incorrect. You really need to do better.

Heathrow is one of Britain’s most important strategic assets. To expand it, in the final resort, is not a decision for London. It is a decision for the national government.

You’re one of the very few out there still talking sense …. It’s refreshing 👏

No. Release it on to the domestic market to bring down prices before November’s mid-term elections.

At no stage have I ever said the EU would collapse — because I’ve never thought it would. My point was that the EU we left in 2016 is morphing/will morph into something very different. Difficult to see how anybody could gainsay that. But no doubt X’s legion of know-nothing nutters will try.

This is a shockingly popular tweet. Must be nice about competent people more often.

Give me a single important example in which the EFTA court has not complied with an ECJ ruling.

In practice, untrue. Membership of EFTA does not put you into single market. That has to be EFTA + EEA. There is an EFTA court for that but in all important rulings it follows the ECJ. Give me examples when it hasn’t.

Can you imagine how the hearts of every other panel member skipped a beat when they realised that @afneil was there 🤣🤣🤣 It was great entertainment, with all 3 of the politicians at some point squirming in their seats as he tore in to them. He should definitely be hosting!!

And you are arguing in ignorance. Look at the composition of the Boris Wave. It was skewed hugely towards students, dependants and those in lower-paid care/work. So the average productivity of the incremental population was not the same as the incumbent average. In other words the new arrivals didn’t do much for GDP (at least in the short term). But the scale of the numbers reduced GDP/capita.
