Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent…
A relentless, ruinous stupidity.

I am a little bored with the 'What About Brexit?' bombardment tbh but you really can't talk about the UK's "deep economic scars" without bloody mentioning it. Unless you're the BBC, apparently. Its negative impact is not an opinion, it's counting.

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet.
Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.

Joining the EU Single Market Could Be the Gamechanger for Keir Starmer’s Government
Both the UK economy and the new Labour Government needs an urgent shot in the arm. Could this be the solution?

2/3rds of the people in the UK on 'benefits' are State Pensioners.
Of the other 1/3rd 60% are working.
The other 15% are the long term disabled people that you get in every country.
Don't listen to the Daily Mail.

They've ennobled furious gonad Toby Young, who demanded the Tories launch his money-saving Free Schools idea, then took 9 years to submit accounts, which proved his money-saving idea cost 10x as much as the system it replaced.

This is a person who Kemi Badenoch thinks should sit in the House of Lords.
The tweets start in 2009 - Young was 45 at the time.

And… here is Johnson - two years earlier - telling NI businesses that there won’t be any kind of border in the Irish Sea, that they can throw any forms in the bin. Technically known as “Lying his arse off”, Laura.

Actually staggering that this foghorn of failure should continue to speak in public, let alone consider himself entitled to comment on what Labour may or may not renegotiate on HIS unforgivably dismal, relentlessly crappy Brexit deal.
Unless he’s apologising for that, he can stfu forever, frankly.

‘Betraying Brexit’
Such a moronic accusation.
What does it even mean?
Having a functioning relationship with our own continent?
Not being diplomatically incontinent?
Finding ways to collaborate and improve opportunities, travel and trade?
Great.
Brexit betrayed us
Very happy to betray it right back.
