Now Gibraltar has won its way back into Schengen and a customs deal with more access than before Brexit, while the rest of us are stuck with queues, red tape and decline.
And where’s the UK press? Silent.
Once again it’s Washington Post exposing Brexit.

Is there any evidence that voters will share the press’s hysterical reaction to Starmer’s deal? For most who voted for it, Brexit was primarily about immigration. On that issue, as on so many others, it has failed them. Fewer immigrants from the EU has simply meant more from the rest of the world.

If a government with over 400 seats and 4 years left to govern cannot summon the courage to level with the public on social care then I despair at the capacity of our political system to ever deliver the change we need.
