we all remember the 2019 campaign "get brexit done" with "oven ready deals".
Well it's 5 years later and it's abundantly clear that it was a disastrous decision. It's pushing up taxes in the UK now because of the lack of real economic growth.

Private Eye cartoon about sweary Reform councillors here in Kent. The county council leader told her minions to "f***ing suck it up", if they disagreed with her. What a charmer.

I know we all hate "Christmas creep" but if M&S can sell Boxing Day curry wraps in mid-October, I think I can plug the fact that I did one of this year's festive Private Eye cards.
