Please don’t refer to him as β€œLord Mandelson”. Yes, yes, I know an Act of Parliament has to be passed to strip him of his title, but c’mon, read the room… πŸ™„

BBC Two - Newsnight, Daniel Hannan: What would Britain look like after Brexit? Daniel Hannan explains why he thinks Britain would be better outside the EU

🚨🚨 So five years since #brexit and I think it is time reshare Daniel Hannan's absolutely insane and delusional vision of grandeur and hubris that characterised the true engineers and believers of #brexit. Here comes the #brexit insanity No 1 🧡

It might be down to the settings each person has set on their own Bluesky feed. I haven’t switched on any content moderation, so perhaps that’s why I see it without having to tap, β€˜Show’…?
