We've had a bumper crop of sour grapes that remainers have made into whine.

But we are free from their rule-making and stifling laws.

Whatever we've done, it doesn't seem to be working as the pro-Brexit Express headline is "UK trade has shrunk since Brexit while EU thrives - data"

Covid is not just a UK thing so that card cannot be played.

Yes, the Express does bring that phrase to mind…

Chris may have a view on this but it's interesting what the Express is doing here by running with this more evidence-based Brexit story than their usual efforts. Perhaps Reach plc is trying to reuse content across its titles? Perhaps they want to sense the mood of their readers by being a bit provocative?

Perhaps they are also looking to increase the advert revenue ;)

Chris is trying to untangle his Christmas lights at the moment :D

In the meantime, see if you can find the journalist’s name and what their role is. You can certainly see on a lot of their regional titles whether the author is locally employed or from their central pool.

Without having seen the item yet, it sounds to me not to be the sort of item they would assign to one of their senior news reporters. On the other hand there might be an editorial shift underway (though I think that’s unlikely).

Good luck with the lights!

He's an Express online journalist so it might be content for their website which does not feature in their newspaper or it might be the start of a more nuanced approach to the subject.

BREXIT, according to its backers, was meant to create endless opportunities. So far, however, the UK has failed to make the vote profitable, with the prospect of "global Britain" quickly fading according to recent data.

Of course there never was and never will be an economic upside to this grubby little project which will become clearer and clearer as time passes. I am guessing the Express is trying to, somehow, explain this to the people it has conned for the last 40 years.

Brexit hits USA . . .

US price rises hit highest level for 40 years
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59573145

yes yes, we all know it's not due to Brexit . . . but the same headline here has the Pro EU boys out in force, so it's only fair we apply the same logic . . . isn't it?
