He can’t lift the country and pour money in Zelenskyy regime to by golden toilet at the same time.
The country voted for Brexit. The only ones downbeat are those who didn't.
He doesn't need to be a cheerleader. He needs to reverse Brexit, so the UK can grow its economy. He needs to do things that keep the far right wing out of power.
She means taxing people to the max to raise revenue.

The country has been “ downbeat” since the financial collapse of 2008. My guess is he will unfreeze the income tax thresholds which have punished everyone
🤦♂️these eu state funded media saying things like ‘downbeat since Brexit’ is such a distortion of the news. Listen, I’m not telling you what to think or what your opinion should be on any topic but I do think it’s exceptionally dangerous when a countries gov is funding their own news and repeating opinions that support gov policy. News is meant to hold power to account, it’s not meant to be the spokesperson for their gov – this is not, nor should it ever be, a controversial statement. As for Brexit, think what you want – though I will say with all the protest movements active in uk at any one time, if there really was a desperation to get back in to eu, do you not think you would see that on independent news, even once in a while! My friends, watching france24, euronews, rt, Dw, ctn – be very careful and make sure you are going out of your way to get news from various sources.
