Brexit has damaged our economy - it's impossible to deny.

The Brexit mood music has changed. You can’t wang on about sovereignty and fish any more and expect people to care. Trade deals aren’t massively convincing either. People just don’t want hassle and higher bills. That’s all Brexit actually delivered. We’re very tired of the failure.

I don’t know anyone who still supports Brexit. Friends, colleagues, extended family, literally nobody.
The polls also lean heavily remain/rejoin.
All of that should give you pause given how dominant the pro Brexit line is in the UK media. #pressRegulation

Tesco just awarded their workforce a 5% payrise (Yay, right?)
But they've axed a 10% bonus their staff got for working Sundays to help pay for it.
So now pay will go over 1st April living wage but they won't be any better off.
Meanwhile CEO Ken Murphy's salary?
Doubled from £4.4m => £9.9m
