Brexit was supposed to bring freedom and opportunity—but for British businesses, it brought red tape, rising costs, and lost markets.

In this video, we explore how Brexit destroyed decades of economic progress, focusing on the devastating impact on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), trade, and supply chains.

Through real data, expert analysis, and business owner testimonies, we uncover why many believe Brexit was a gamble the UK couldn’t afford—and what the future might hold.

Brexit promised the UK a golden era of global trade deals. But five years later, where are they? In this video, we break down the trade agreements Britain secured post-Brexit—what worked, what flopped, and why the U.S. deal remains elusive. From the CPTPP to failed talks with India and Canada, we explore how the UK’s biggest economic gamble turned into a global balancing act. Was it worth it?

Top minds are leaving Britain for Spain amid concerns over the effects of Brexit and the cost of living crisis in the UK.

Almost a third, or 32.8 per cent, of the 58 top researchers who won places on Spain’s ATRAE (Attract) scheme had been working in the UK.

Britain lost the largest number of scientists to Spain, according to the countries whose scientists applied for posts on the ATRAE scheme. Almost all of those who left the UK were foreign scientists based in Britain.

Designed to attract the top brains from around the world, the programme offers scientists €1m (£868,500) each to set up a team and carry out research at academic institutions in Spain.

Last week the Spanish government approved the last round for this year’s €45m (£39m) scheme for leading scientists in their fields.

If you are interested in this text, you might save not only the link, but the PDF as well - apparently there are ongoing efforts to de-publish it completely. (What again was the word we were using for this in USSR times?)

And if you are interested on many more details how "social media" and most smartphone software employs a neverending stream of "brain hacks" to capture our attention by addictive design, amplifying the campaigns of Cambridge Analytica and people behind it like Bannon or Mercer, this is a book you should look into:

"Free Your Mind from Smartphone and Social Media Stress", by Imran Rashid and Søten Kenner, Johm Wiley & Sons, ISBN (print) 978-3-527-51002-3, (epub) 978-3-527-82886-9.

• title sounds like a self-help book but I think it is immensely political.
