If not I'll just remind you.

Brexit happened, we left the EU on the 31 January 2020 at 11:00 pm.

Just let that marinate in your head, take a deep breath and move on.

So, to clarify, we shouldn’t continue to discuss things that have massively impacted the country that occurred in the past?

That's not usually Pierre's style. It could be that he's upset by the NI deal that heavily reduces divergence from EU rules so we become Brussels' rule-taker. Or the lack of a trade deal with Canada that we used to enjoy as an EU member. It's hard to ascertain.

Q; So you're admitting checks would cost a billion £... I thought post brexit checks were not supposed to be disruptive?

But the last few pages have been discussing things that were discussed in the run up the referendum, eight years ago.

We were asked that question in 2016, and it was answered.

JRM said that again in his GB News programme last night.

Feel free to talk about all the new Brexit trade deals we've signed if you prefer. ;)

I'm also happy to talk about the ones we haven't, the reasons why, and why it doesn't matter.

He really doesn't get it, or more likely, does not want to get it.

Here's a good Newsnight recap of the upcoming new Brexit pain: https://twitter.com/i/status/1752108693364052447

Hard working families who thought they were voting for cheaper food in 2016 as promised by Rees-Mogg will be disappointed.

High food prices cannot be wholly blamed on Brexit. Anyway, those voting for Brexit did so to regain sovereignty. They had not bargained for crap government, which we would have had either way.

There were many reasons people voted for brexit, sovereignty was one but it wasn't the only one, I'd say a dislike of foreigners coming over here and taking our jobs was equally high on the list as was a general feeling of being left behind and forgotten about but that notwithstanding that smug wretch did say to anyone stupid enough to listen that we'd have cheaper food, clothing and footwear straight away and you can argue that we are on our fourth incarnation of government since the vote if we don't include call me dave cutting and running to hide in his yurt

They'll be disappointed on that count if they voted leave to regain sovereignty.

To make the new NI deal work, we won't be able to take advantage of any significant Brexit freedoms as we'll have to adhere to EU standards we don't have any say in. But if we can say we've got our sovereignty back enough times, we might even believe it ourselves! ;)

The reason they took out jobs BRITS didn't want them.
