Brutally, without Fort Vic we can't send a carrier to the Falklands. Someone perhaps asked the right question in MSHQ?

A proud moment for Barrow and Britain. HMS Agamemnon is one of the most powerful attack submarines ever built and she's now heading to sea trials before joining the fleet. This is deterrence in action. 🇬🇧

Brilliant from @afneil - absolutely destroying the simplistic nonsense we hear spouted repeatedly by Rejoiners…
Andrew Neil’s Brexit reality check on BBC Question Time. In a nutshell: Rejoiners are ignoring the huge political wind of change sweeping Europe and the UK v Germany/ France/ Italy growth rates make a nonsense of their Mickey Mouse economic arguments too. #bbcqt

Been a while since I’ve been on @bbcquestiontime but I am tonight. After the News on BBC1. I think it went OK. Even if it didn’t, it’s allowed me to spend a night in stunning, historic Cambridge.

I didn’t cherry pick. I chose Europe’s three biggest economies to compare with UK. We grew faster than them all. But let’s take your metric — the whole EU. Since 2021 we’ve grown 17%, EU 13%. I guess there’s a reason you have ‘thick’ in your anonymous moniker. We will never communicate again.
As for the economy...@afneil you cannot just cherrypick which countries you want to mention. The EU as a whole has grown faster than the UK. Certain major European countries were far more affected by the war in Ukraine because of the energy/gas issue. You know this. 4/

HMS Agamemnon, an Astute Class attack submarine and the most advanced in the world, has just sailed from Barrow after being commissioned into service... I think it may be brown trousers time for Argentina.

“He’s a Prince fan, ‘cos he is still dancing like it’s 1999.” Lord Glasman, Brexiteer and founder of Blue Labour, rejects Sir Tony Blair’s call to revisit the UK’s relations with the EU, and tells #Newsnight “what we have to do is strengthen our sovereignty… and take the opportunities that Brexit has opened up.”

Stick with it …@afneil makes it worthwhile 👇
Andrew Neil gives the Rejoin EU fantasists a dose of reality they rarely get on Question Time. The argument is still being conducted as though Britain left the Europe of 2016 and can simply climb back aboard the same train. Neil’s point is devastatingly simple: that Europe no longer exists. The political balance has shifted, its biggest economies are struggling, and rejoining the single market or customs union comes with obligations and costs that are too often waved away by those selling Brexit reversal as free money. He also reminds Remainers of something they prefer to forget. There were serious economic arguments for staying in the EU in 2016, but the official campaign squandered them with a relentlessly negative campaign and then spent years raging at the electorate for delivering the wrong answer. You cannot rerun 2016 in 2026 and pretend nothing changed. The #EU is rapidly becoming a goose step away from 1933... #Rejoin #Brexit

Rejoin the EU? Andrew Neil spot on. £ Open borders £ Stagnant growth £ Increasingly centralised £ Brussels more & more powers £ Right-wing populists rising up! £ UK cost of rejoining £1000 pa per household.

As always, Andrew Neil on top of his brief and giving the rest of the Question Time panel a much needed lesson from his well informed and knowledgeable mind. BBC must allow many more panelists on QT like Andrew Neil instead of the dross we frequently see.
