The wholly foreseeable effects of leaving the EU have been clear for years - erecting trade barriers leads to less trade.

Johnson's Brexit surrender deal is done, businesses are going bankrupt and Brexiters are still celebrating it.

@LBC Barnier on Brexit border friction:

"some things have “changed for good” as a result of the UK’s policy choices, “there are mechanical, obvious, inevitable, consequences when you leave the single market and that’s what the British wished to do”

Sheesus, Priti Patel doesn't have a clue, does she?

And if she says "the rules are clear" or "we are in a pandemic" one more fkn time, I'm gonna blow my own head off.

Press: are the rules tough enough

PP: "the rules are clear"

Press: the virus is more transmissible & more have died than March yet the rules are weaker

PP: "the rules are clear"

Press: what is the definition of "stay local" for exercise?

PP: "the rules are clear"

Trust MAGA morons to livestream themselves commiting major crimes in the U.S. Capitol.

They really are the dimmest criminals in American history.

Remember: because we held all the cards, they needed us more than we needed them, and the genius move of keeping no deal on the table as "no deal is better than a bad deal'", whatever Johnson brought back from Brussels was the best Brexit deal possible.

So what did we win?
More on the issue that was, according to Brextremists and even @bbcnews, so emblematic of the importance of "sovereignty" to #BrexitBritain - fishing.

"We have been sold a basket of stinking mackerel, and red herrings"

If there are no new non-tariff barriers, why has Boris Johnson tried to recruit 50,000 customs officials?

If you think the big reason Conservatives hate the BBC is because they can't profit from it, you're hugely mistaken

Of course, there are some juicy assets to carve up & sell at a discount to their friends & family there, but that's not what drives Tory hatred

The reason they loathe the BBC is because it stands as a bulwark against the essence of their ideology

Whether news or drama, every show the BBC produces shares the same basic principles

Racism: bad
Poverty: bad
Hate: bad
Caring: good
Society: good
Facts: good
..and so on

But worst of all it's popular.

It's seen as jewel in the national crown, not only by most at home, but globally, & thus very difficult to destroy

In recent decades, foreign billionaire press barons have combined their muscle with secretly funded right wing lobby groups..
