As we predicted, these forever-delayed checks will never be implemented.

But food suppliers have been marched up the hill several times per year at huge expense.

In case you wondered why food prices have been going up.

Starmer needs to unequivocally tell the British people that Brexit has made them immeasurably poorer and that Farage has been the chief advocate of their losses .

The petition is now at 44,000 and the government have responded (with their usual position).

Keep pushing on to 100,000 signatures though, as that secures a parliamentary debate. There have been debates about Brexit but this would be the first one about rejoining.
