In these times of rancour & division, it’s comforting to find things on which we can all agree: Kent County Council, for example, really does provide a perfect illustration of how well Reform would run the country. I agree with Nigel!

A clear target of leading the UK into a new customs union with the EU by 2030 could be truly transformative. There’s no doubt the public will is there to make it happen. The question is: will Keir Starmer seize the moment and deliver it?

Let’s be honest:

By 2035 virtually no one under 55 will have voted for Brexit.
Those under 37 didn’t have the vote.
Those who will be 37-55 will have overwhelmingly voted remain.

This is the route:
1. A reset with EU
2. Negotiations to rejoin single market
3. Referendum to rejoin EU

Tangible outcomes, even though the UK -EU deal itself will take a while to be formally implemented
New border checks on fruit and vegetables imported from the EU were due to come into force on 1st of July - resulting in more paperwork, delays at the board and likely higher prices.

Thanks to the new UK-EU deal these checks have now been scrapped.

Fruit and veg import checks scrapped ahead of UK-EU deal
In advance of a new SPS agreement with EU, fruit and veg imports will require no fees or border checks - saving businesses time and money

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.

It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Still need to reverse the #Brexit damage.Footling about at the margins doesn't cut it #eu #trade
No trade deal can ever make up for losing our place in the EU single market - which is much more than a trade deal, it is a border free market of almost half a billion people, on our doorstep.

Oh for the confidence of a mediocre white man
Yet, somehow, despite all the discrimination he faced, this mediocre dud managed to make it to the upper reaches of political life. Truly an example to the rest of the downtrodden.

I liked being European, I still feel European, I still feel a citizen of the EU, but they’ve stripped my citizenship from me.”
