| Document:Brexit is the villain in accidental death of the economy | Article | Boris Johnson Bank of England Keir Starmer Brexit Rishi Sunak | 6 August 2023 | William Keegan | The Brexit miscreants who conned the nation just carry on shamelessly, while their replacements, Rishi Sunak and co, take up the banner and Keir Starmer, once a noble remainer, offends his natural followers by ruling out rejoining the EU or even the single market. |
| Document:Britain didn’t vote Labour just to get a new iron chancellor | Article | Labour Party Rachel Reeves Brexit Institute for Statecraft Freedom of movement EU single market EU customs union Philip Snowden Office for Budget Responsibility | 4 August 2024 | William Keegan | The economic damage wrought by Brexit continues. Our investment and growth prospects would benefit enormously if Starmer and Reeves abandoned this policy of “no return to the customs union, single market or freedom of movement”. I repeat what I have said before: the Labour manifesto commits it to removing unnecessary barriers to trade. But Brexit is the most formidable barrier of all! |
| Document:High-stakes fight for one tree comes to an autumnal crunch | Article | Allianz Paul Powlesland Marcus Decker Just Stop Oil Haringey Tree Protectors Aviva Innovation Group Haringey Council | 19 November 2023 | Tim Adams | "If insurers are allowed to succeed here it will threaten many thousands of trees across the country", says barrister Paul Powlesland. "The fact is we all have a stake in Haringey's Oakfield plane – as long as it still stands." |
| Document:Silicon Valley’s Trump supporters are dicing with the death of democracy | Article | "Democracy" Peter Thiel Donald Trump Marc Andreesen Cryptocurrency Silicon Valley Elon Musk David Sacks US/2024 Presidential election New Right Project 25 | 4 August 2024 | John Naughton | Speaking to a Christian convention in Florida the other day, Donald Trump said: “Get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know what: it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.” |
| Document:Sunak likes the single market. So why doesn't Labour? | Article | Keir Starmer Brexit Rishi Sunak EU single market EU customs union Northern Ireland Protocol Windsor Framework | 5 March 2023 | William Keegan | "I had many criticisms of Thatcherism and its impact on unemployment and social harmony, but one thing Margaret Thatcher got right was the importance of the EU single market and attracting Japanese, German and other firms to the UK. All this is now up for grabs by Starmer and his team." |
| Document:With Brexit, the UK has achieved the gold standard of self-harm | Article | Brexit Gold standard | 12 June 2022 | William Keegan | Events in the foreign exchange market forced the UK off the gold standard in 1931, under what was by then the National Government. The Labour politician Sidney Webb famously declared afterwards: “Nobody told us we could do that.” Brexit, too, is reversible. |
