Another Brexit 'bonus':

The EU is launching a €150bn arms procurement fund, Security Action for Europe (SAFE), but non-EU countries will need to pay to participate.

Ukraine, EFTA & EEA countries (inc.Norway & Switzerland) who already pay to be part of the EU single market will gain free access; other non-EU countries will have to negotiate a participation fee before they can bid on SAFE defence tenders.

So the UK will need to pay if its defence sector is to bid.

The UK really sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of wholesale (and, thus, retail) electricity prices.

It's almost as though this is another element in sold-out Britain, captured for profit-stuffing by business elites. 🤔

Wholesale prices as of morning of 26/04/2025.

Keir Starmer's latest attempt to get special treatment from the EU (because, the UK is special, right) was to propose a mutual recognition agreement on certifying product standards which would help exporting businesses by cutting red tape.... however, he was rebuffed & its not hard to see why.

As an EU diplomat told the FT:

'It’s not going to happen. Switzerland has this, but they pay into the EU budget & accept free movement'!

Brexit means Brexit; no more special favours!
