The UK pays a rebated EU membership fee of £280 million a week.

According to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, UK membership of the EU single market is worth 4% more in GDP = £1.9 billion a week.

EU membership means a UK net gain of over £1.6 billion a week.

917 purchases over not quite two years. At that rate, the US Air Force must be the only thing keeping Prestwick in business, the net operating deficit = about 7 million British pounds https://t.co/P4WCFikbc3

This is a photo of four C-17 Globemasters lined up to get overpriced fuel at tiny Prestwick airport so the crews can then go to Turnberry and shovel US taxpayer money into the pockets of the Dear Leader. https://t.co/JfGdQPWmxw

One of my sharp eyed followers said there was a USAF transport in the latest Google Earth image on #Prestwick airport. Its true. It’s a KC-135 Stratotanker. #PerDiemGate #Scotland pic.twitter.com/OFJXt2BQQ5

I wrote in June about the £9m Defense Logistics Agrncy deal with the airport. Its custom with US military dates back decades, but it has escalated significantly in the past couple of years. A new, even more lucrative contract, will kick in later this year. https://t.co/rfxfWZ5Emd

The relationship between Trump Turnberry, the USAF, and Prestwick airport goes even further. Prestwick offered free rounds of golf at Turnberry to visiting US military and civilian air crews. This is an insightful piece: https://t.co/gDEkIVUVEy

BREAKING

FRANCE ISN'T PREPARED TO POSTPONE THE OCT 31 deadline for the UK departure from EU “in the current state of things” as British authorities aren’t providing evidence that they’ll offer new solutions to end #Brexit deadlock, Foreign Minister Le Drian said (Bloomberg)

Very good question: "what's their objective?" Brexit is not their end, it's only their means. The real end is radical right wing transformation of UK society through assault on institutions and values of liberal social market democracy (an agenda they long blamed EU for stopping)

Everything this is wrong with British journalism in a single story. Rees Mogg didn’t ‘clash with’ David Nicholl he smeared him by comparing him to charlatan Andrew Wakefield. Journalism like this corrodes democracy pic.twitter.com/cv0eE2wDVi
