brexit is increasing all your costs, fact.
A minimum of 95% of us are materially worse off. Every study shows this.
And I see that we now have a new wave of people blaming migrants for everything, such as gavvy gav moaning about dispersal into staffordshire.

The British government's post-Brexit settlement scheme for EU citizens is unlawful, the UK's High Court has ruled.

The Independent Monitoring Authority (IMA), an independent body set up to oversee citizens' rights, took legal action against the Home Office.

It argued that Britain is breaching the withdrawal agreement with the European Union by requiring EU citizens to reapply for the right to live and work in the UK.

All marvel at a deal worth upto £1m over 5 years. Outstanding

Anyone know what this is all about?

An unsurprising fact that the tories want to use brexit to reduce employees rights.

It's very obviously a sunlit upland, isn't it...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s the sort of bill a new Labour government would fuck off at the first opportunity

Government’s next fleet of ministerial cars to be made in Germany because of Brexit

Last year, UK car production hit its lowest level since 1956 because of skills shortages and supply chain issues.

apparently we're having to get a charitable organisation which usually works in war zones to fix issues at our ports owing to brexit delays;

can't believe we are having to outsource this because the govt is so incompetent!

Of course you can believe it Warren, it's par for the course for these corrupt fuckers

 

[Keef]

Instead of trying to sort out the root cause of the problem and negotiating with Europe, it’s obviously due to inflation/Covid/ fuel prices/war in Ukraine/ supply chain issues not the B word.

Unsurprisingly it is becoming clear that this isn't the case

Putting it here, Lynch is on weak ground. I didn't realise he supported Brexit and I'm not having that he didn't know what the Tories would do when given it

Boggles my mind that we needed the EU to protect hard won rights from our own govt.

agree he's on weak ground here, but did think it was common knowledge lynch was pro-brexit. It does cause some cognitive dissonance for me, given how on other issues he has thought things through.

 

[Tony Towner]

Personally I think anyone that was pro Brexit loses any credibility when complaining about the Tories tbh. You go back 7 years on the original referendum thread and people were telling Cyber and one or two others what a Tory Brexit would look like...it's this.

Lynch is an intelligent man he would have known that but chose political dogma over it. It doesn't weaken the rail workers case, but makes him a bigger arsehole than most of the other 52% because he doesn't have ignorance, gullibility or stupidity as an excuse.
