Breaking: MP who campaigned for a year to leave the EU and stay in the Single Market before saying we have to leave the Single Market "and it doesn't exist anyway", has resigned after complaining that the integrity he "holds very dear" had been questioned.
Owen Paterson, seen here complaining about the levels of pesticides set in water had recently been found guilty by the House of Commons Committee on standads.
Paterson claims it was vital to introduce the technology of the company that was paying him money to find substances which had levels "too low for other current testing technologies to detect".
Critics argue that maybe he was pushing a single supplier forward at the time.
Can't wait for the EU to become a country by 2025. It's all out in the open apparently, which is weird because it's nearly 2022 and I've not seen a word.

They are leaving this very late...

The solution is, of course, the Ukrainian model...or at least that's my solution.

Moving together in areas where is makes sense to the two parties rather across the whole body of legislation in the EEA.
Regulatory approximation, rather than accepting laws like they do in the EEA.

This is a difficult situation for @JamilAnderlini. This is not in @POLITICOEurope, and editors are expected to back their staff, but equally, this is becoming damaging for Politico.

This isn't one day and a retraction, we are in day 2 and Alex is doubling down.
Politico are in danger of being part of the story now.

Is this going to lead to a ban on journalists associating themselves with their publication's brand on twitter in their profile?

Are they being deliberately this stupid in their desperate attempt to give balance to a positive Brexit? I don't know. I just can't with these people anymore.
I was left unsure that prices had gone up because of inflation, because later on in the article is says prices go up all the time!
"I'm left unsure that the thing they've historically done because they have empty shelves is actually down to food shortages"

Ok I've been having some fun today, but this thread is serious.
If what Dominic Cummings has said is true, there is a chain of events which makes this a serious problem, and it goes like this...
The government negotiated a deal they had no intention of honouring.

@Craig4P @Andrew_Adonis What reasonable point? You claimed the Common Market was a pro-EU con, it was a pro-Brexit con, and people have been deceived for 30 years. Including yourself.
@Craig4P @Andrew_Adonis I'm not judging either, had the referendum been in 2009, I'd have gone in with exactly the same views as you and voted the same way, but before 2016 I found out that that I had been told wasn't true. That we had been lied to on a massive scale.
@Craig4P @Andrew_Adonis Sorry, Craig. But this isn't about why anyone won, this is about what people were told and how people like yourself have been taken for a ride.

* The US has 95% utilisation leaving limited elasticity.
* UK pallets are 22.5% smaller than those used in the US.

= Less drivers more load
= Higher Covid impact

How about I don't do journalism or economics and journalists and the economists stop trying to do industry analysis?
They also have drop trailer strategies which allows them to work on even less drivers, which we don't have in the UK because our freight industry is slanted to smaller carriers.
In short, do they want to talk about why the US has shortages and how they are different to the reasons that the UK has shortages, or were they trying to find anything they can point to that would muddy the waters.
