2,300 years ago, a Greek astronomer sailed to the edge of the known world 🇬🇧 His name was Pytheas. He sailed from Marseille through the Strait of Gibraltar and turned north. He was looking for the source of something the entire ancient world depended on. Tin. Without tin, you can't make bronze. Without bronze, there's no Bronze Age. No weapons. No tools. No armour. And the richest source of tin in the ancient world? Cornwall. For over a thousand years before Pytheas arrived, Cornish tin had been reaching Egypt, Turkey, and Greece. Tin ingots chemically matched to Cornish earth have been found in ancient tombs across the Mediterranean. Britain was connected to the ancient world 1,000 years before Rome set foot here. Pytheas visited the mines. He described a tidal island where tin was loaded onto ships at low tide. Most historians believe that island is St Michael's Mount. Still there. Still beautiful. But here's what matters most. Pytheas didn't find savages. He found a civilisation. Hospitable people. Grain farmers. Beer brewers. Kings with trade networks spanning the known world. He wrote the first ever description of Britain and its people. His book "On the Ocean" has been lost for 2,000 years, but fragments quoted by later writers tell us something extraordinary. Britain wasn't at the edge of the world. It was at the centre of it. Every bronze sword in Greece. Every bronze shield in Egypt. Cornish tin inside every one. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏳️🏴 They taught you Greece was the cradle of civilisation. They didn't mention who supplied the metal. You can walk that causeway today. The same path they carried tin across two thousand years ago. And nobody's teaching it. We are 👇 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support Be proud of us. Be proud of us. 🇬🇧

Liz Truss @trussliz

The so-called Reset with the EU will be a disaster for Labour and I predict the measures agreed will be reversed in 2029. The trade deal we already have with the EU is the best any country has - there's very little still to go for. Immigration is at record levels - more immigration is the last thing we need. There will be more selling off of British interests in areas like fish and red tape. Labour is still peddling the narrative that our problems are caused by Brexit. But it's not true. Britain's problems are made in Britain. Our crazy Human Rights laws. Our Net Zero economic suicide. Our unaccountable institutions made much worse by Blair. Only a Great Repeal Bill to reverse these laws and appointing new leadership to our failing institutions will deliver the change Britain needs. Labour is still in the mindset of "narrative" and "optics" not in fixing real problems. The public are way past that.

@STILLTish I am confused, not sure what ‘this conversation’ means - the left wing have been clear supporters of immigration - will they now be seen as “far right”
