Remember all the benefits listed by Jacob Rees-Mogg when he was given the job of Brexit Opportunities Minister?

No, me neither…
TBF He did mention that we would be able to have more powerful vacuum cleaners

Just IMHO The problem is now that Brexit is done (or is still in the process of being done depending on your view) there hasn't been anything of observable value to the average person in the street. People may say that we're free of X and Y but if that new found freedom isn't put to use in a way that the country can benefit from, then simply what is the point ?

Is it a case of an incompetent government? or, are there no actual benefits for the average joe/josephine. apart from vacuum cleaners?
