From these charts we see that Brexit had no effect on the British economy. Neither negative nor positive.

The growth is in the pounds. Not in your life.
UK GDP in 1975. £115 billion.
UK GDP now. £3.04 trillion.
That is up 2,555 percent. In pounds.
In gold. Down 55 percent. From 28 ounces a head in 1975. Peak 101 ounces in 1999. Now 13 ounces.
They printed the money. They borrowed the money. They issued the credit. The number went up. The output did not.
You work harder for less. Your wages buy less. Your house costs more. Your children will work harder for less than you.
That is not growth. That is theft. The chart shows it.

Tucker Carlson continues to defend Sharia law and attack critics of Islam: “The second people stand up and start attacking Sharia law and Islam, and 2 billion Muslims on the basis of their religion, I couldn't find that more disgusting.”
Carlson claims that @benshapiro and others who oppose Sharia law or take issue with Islam are making America “more volatile, more hateful, and a much crappier place to live.”

Tucker Qatarlson says there’s nothing more disgusting than Amercians who stand up and oppose Sharia law and speak critically of the world’s Muslim population.
He’s been captured by Islam.
How much do you think he’s made trying to downplay the threat of Islam??
Billions?
Every week he’s in another Muslim country.

🚨Row brewing tonight after latest “shocking” Chagos argie bargie in the Tele.
A senior Trump administration official tells me:
“We are confused at why @KemiBadenoch is attacking @Nigel_Farage.”
“I'm surprised by the idea that a Conservative government would not let us access that base.
“That's shocking to me.”
“We are confused by what Kemi Badenoch is saying.
“We understood Nigel Farage's comments to mean that we would get perpetual use of the base, which, frankly, we've always had.
“The only disturbance in that equilibrium, that partnership, has been the Labour government trying to give the Chagos Islands away in this kind of self-abnegating, anti-colonial interaction.
“It sounds like Kemi is now saying she would not [access].
“The fact that the UK would hand over the islands in the first place comes as a surprise to us in the context of our alliance.
“We want the UK to come to its senses on Chagos.
“We hear a lot of squabbling that doesn't make much sense.
“What to do with these islands is obvious, which is not a seed to anti-civilizational, third world lawfare and activism.
“Stand up for what's yours.
“Stand up for what's historically been yours.”
More to come…
Replying to @genevieve_holl
Kemi Badenoch said Farage's comments were "humiliating"
“It is mad for someone who wants to be prime minister to say we should give away one piece of British territory just to stop an American president talking about another”
This is careless, loose talk from a man who wants to be responsible for Britain’s national security.”

It’s all becoming clear now.
Badenoch flies to Greece in August with her husband on a summer jolly paid for by Murdoch.
A grateful Badenoch meets with her benefactor and makes undisclosed promises to secure his political support.
During September Murdoch directs The Times - which he owns - to procure a poll from YouGov putting Badenoch’s Tories in second place.
In October the poll is published and the media trumpet it as a triumph for Badenoch marking the end of Reform.
If all this chicanery proves anything it’s that the Tories haven’t changed and you can’t trust Badenoch.
(Thanks to @mikecosgrove45 for highlighting the meeting)

The UN accused Israel of genocide, and one of the 3 commissioners behind that accusation just admitted, in front of a live audience, that they never independently verified one of the most explosive statistics in their own report.
Chris Sidoti insisted that his commission conducts independent investigations and doesn't simply rely on media reports.
Except paragraph 21 of their official genocide report claims that 83% of those killed in Gaza were civilians. The footnote cites The Guardian.
When asked whether the commission had actually verified that figure, Sidoti admitted:
“No, we didn't… we literally do not know.”
Now watch how this works.
The Guardian publishes a statistic. The UN cites The Guardian. TIME and other media orgs then repeat the statistic while reporting on the UN's genocide findings, giving readers the impression that they're looking at an independently established fact.
The media quotes the UN, the UN quotes the media, and somewhere along the way a newspaper's claim gets transformed into an authoritative finding of international investigators.
This is how information gets laundered. Each new citation adds another layer of credibility without necessarily adding a single piece of independent evidence.
But the commissioner himself admits they never verified the number.
We're talking about an official UN report accusing the Jewish state of the gravest crime in international law, circulated around the world as authoritative evidence, while one of its own authors acknowledges that they literally do not know whether a central statistic they published is accurate.
How many other claims in that report have been through the same process?

Kasparov: Ukraine is under the heaviest bombardment one can imagine. On CNN you see Gaza, Gaza, Gaza.
If Israel did to Gaza for 24 hours what Putin does to Ukraine, there would be no Gaza. Russia's bombing of Ukraine is much worse than carpet bombing. 1/

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

The American people should be thanking @ZelenskyyUa for blowing up the Russian data centers that housed so many of Russia’s bots.
Russia spends $2 billion per year on information warfare and much of that warfare is directly targeted toward the West, President Trump and the US.
I for one am thankful to see less Russian bots online sharing Tucker Qatarlson’s content and accusing everyone of being a pedophile and an Israeli spy.
This means less Russian interference in our elections online since Russian state media spends all of their time online attacking Trump and sharing tweets from anti-Trump podcasters.

Wow!
Immediately after Ukriane blew up Russian data centers yesterday and today, Tucker Qatarlson’s views dropped 71%…
I told you. When I was in Ukraine, I was shown evidence of how Russia bots amplify Tucker and his anti-Trump and anti-Jewish podcasts.
Thank you, Ukraine for decreasing the botted viewership of Podcastistan.
America thanks you.

🚨🚨 Tucker Carlson calls the deal that got Ukraine to give up its nukes "immaterial."
In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal. In exchange, the US, the UK and Russia signed security assurances promising to respect its borders. Russia broke that promise.
He knows exactly why Ukraine had to disarm. He says so himself: Ukraine "might have already sold those nuclear weapons to bad actors around the world."
So Ukraine was too dangerous to keep its nukes, but not worth keeping a promise to once it gave them up. That's Carlson's position.
Rees-Mogg: "Is America's word worth anything? Or do you just sign these things and walk away?"
Carlson dodges and insists over and over that no treaty obligates the US to fight Russia (which Rees-Mogg never said). Then he smirks and rolls his eyes while Rees-Mogg explains it to him.
Rees-Mogg: "I didn't say it did."
If disarming gets you invaded, nobody is ever giving up nukes again. Carlson knows this. He just doesn't care, because Russia gets Ukraine either way.
This is who Tucker Carlson is.

🇬🇧 Jacob Rees-Mogg's reaction to his recent appearance on the Tucker Carlson Show.
"In most wars in history, you can make the case that it may or may not have been necessary. The Second World War is the absolutely classic case of good against evil."
"Tucker Carlson, like many people who get on social media, find that to get clicks, they need to become more and more controversial, and they end up saying things that no sensible person could possibly believe."

🚨 Extraordinary exchange between Tucker Carlson and Jacob Rees-Mogg on Hiroshima.
Rees-Mogg says the bombs were justified because they ended the war and saved far more lives than it took. Carlson refuses to weigh the lives saved at all. When Rees-Mogg says WWII couldn't have been fought without innocent people being killed, Carlson's answer is "I don't know, no one tried."
Tucker Carlson's two rules of war:
1. Never do anything that could cause the death of an innocent, even if the action would ultimately save more lives.
2. Unless you're Nazi Germany or Russia. In the same interview, Hitler "did not want war," and Russia invading Ukraine is "the state of play for all great powers."
He is condescending the whole way through: "So you can behave like an animal once the war starts." "I don't even understand what you're saying."
Then he asks, disingenuously, whether it's Christian to kill children. "I'm not Catholic, so I'm not an expert," he says, right after ruling for himself that the bombing fails Aquinas' just-war test.

I have been trying to work out why the Carlson—Rees-Mogg interview is going viral. I think it’s because because it represents the moment when traditional conservatism, defined by courtesy, self-restraint and truth, visibly overcomes the feverish, conspiracist and bellicose post-liberal Right.
Sir @Jacob_Rees_Mogg was the perfect instrument of destruction. He is a man of unquestioned sincerity, intellect and courtliness. He was one of only two Ali G interviewees to emerge with his reputation enhanced, the other being Tony Benn, and for the same reason: utter sincerity. With Tucker, as with the brilliant Baron-Cohen, he bats away feverish, crackpot claims in a calm, measured and devastatingly gracious way.
What ended McCarthyism was the dignified put down delivered by the Army’s lawyer, Joseph Welch, on live TV in June 1954: “Senator, you have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?” Joe McCarthy died three years later at the age of 48, broken and disgraced.
As Welch to McCarthy, so Mogg to Tucker.

Brutal exchange: Tucker Carlson incorrectly tells Jacob Rees-Mogg that Russia has "a much larger economy" than Britain.
It doesn't: by GDP, Britain's is about $4.0 trillion and Russia's about $2.5 trillion.
Corrected, Carlson retreats to "GDP is not the only measure," then to Russia's "inherent wealth."
Rees-Mogg: "Inherent wealth isn't very useful, is it? There are lots of African countries that have huge resources that have never been able to use them."
Carlson: "It depends what your timeline is."
Rees-Mogg: "Well, if you go for hundreds of years, they haven't used them. Russia has consistently been a poor country in spite of its resources."
Carlson: "I don't agree, but I will grant you that."

Tucker Carlson is a dangerous menace
If Britain did not enter WW2, it would be living at the point of a gun
No Britain in WW2 would also mean that Germany & the Axis Powers would control Europe, USSR, Middle East oil fields, Africa & Asia
Stalin and Kruschev both said that if Britain had not been in the war, Hitler would have defeated the Soviet Union, because he would have been able to devote 100% of his forces to the Eastern Front, rather than just 70%
Not only would the Nazis then have free rein, over years or decades, to extinguish the Jews and enslave the Slavs, but most Europeans would be living under the Nazi jackboot. Life in Europe would have been the stuff of nightmares.
Tucker Carlson has no problem with any of that. He seems perfectly happy for tens of millions of Europeans to be killed / enslaved and for perhaps hundreds of millions to be subjugated....perhaps up to today.
As for Britain, as master of Europe, Hitler would have turned Britain into a subservient vassal state, potentially with a Quisling or Vichy-style government led by Oswald Mosely or David Lloyd-George.
Britain's long-standing policy had always been to maintain the balance of power in Europe.
With Hitler in control, however, Britain would have lost control over its foreign policy and would have had to do the bidding of the Nazis. Had Britain resisted, it would have been blockaded and starved into submission.
World War Two was devastating for Britain. But the consequences of not entering are simply too awful to contemplate.
Tucker Carlson would do well to remember that Britain could have avoided much economic hardship if the United States had relieved Britain of all or much of its debt obligations after it entered the war.
The future for the USA would also have been very different had it had to face a Nazi Germany in control of the entire world outside the Western hemisphere.
And it is ridiculous to blame mass immigration on Britain's entry into World War Two. Mass immigration started under Blair, more than 50 years after WW2 ended. There is no connection.
As for the British Empire, it would not have lasted much longer even if Britain had stayed out of the war.
Below is a clip from an interview I gave in response to Tucker Carlson's interview with history enthusiast Daryl Cooper.
Cooper claimed Churchill was the "villain" of the Second World War and argued that Britain should have asked for a peace deal with Hitler after the fall of France.
A history lesson for Tucker Carlson, by Andrew Roberts (@aroberts_andrew)
It is vital that these revisionists do not win the battle for historical narrative, otherwise Hitler will posthumously win the peace in a way that he and his vile creed could thankfully not win the war.
It is all so transparent, and the best way to refute it is to do what Jacob Rees-Mogg did so admirably: stay calm, and recount the historical truth by way of factual evidence. As Sir Winston Churchill — who Carlson considers a “villain” — put it, “Study history, study history. For therein lie all the secrets of statecraft.”
