Getting Brexit Done. Or not.

Government retreats from Brexit bill plan to ditch EU laws

Climbdown likely after cross-party Lords revolt threatens to defeat Jacob Rees-Mogg’s retained EU law bill

the sad thing is though, no matter how shit the bill, these JRM-type feckers are going to turn around and just say "remainers stopping brexit again". They are never held to account for their damage.

British supermarkets report shortages of peppers as Morrisons rations sales
Retailer limits purchases to two a customer after cold snap in Europe hits supplies

Apparently we've had another cold snap in southern Europe. Bloody freezing it was the other day mowing the lawn in a T-shirt and 24°C.

In Sevilla today, they must be shivering in 32°C - they will have to come up with something more original in the summer months.

Some supermarkets are putting out some sh*te into the press. The reality is the price for them has probably increased from suppliers, all the supermarkets have an agreed contract price and are trying to play hardball with suppliers so they don't pay an increased price. Suppliers won't supply at a loss making price, so the reality we're seeing is that supermarkets would rather ration/have empty shelves than pay the suppliers the market price. This was exactly the same as the last 'ration'. Brexit has some inflation of price in mix, but it isn't the main contributor to the headline of empty shelves.

What you say is probably correct but also the suppliers from Europe just won't bother delivering to the UK if there's too much hassle. If there is a shortage, or they get the price they want, they'll deliver to less troublesome destinations i.e. the EU countries and deliver to the UK if there is an abundance, which is why there are no shortages on mainland Europe.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Does this mean that the PM of the UK is completely unaware that in November the EU Entry/Exit System comes into operation plus the ETIAS system next Spring which will require all third country visitors (which includes the citizens of the UK ) to have their details, fingerprints and photographs (for facial recognition) registered in the EU database system.

Still don't know what you voted for?

I want and hope that we start to see this more often. They need to be hounded for it at every available opportunity until they have nowhere left to hide.
People are taking this Burberry thing the wrong way. Guarantee the VAT issue is ‘corrected’ and it’s held up as evidence of Brexit working better through revisions, because Tories listen to business.

Really it’ll be further evidence of rich people enriching themselves.

A petition of 183,000 calling for an inquiry into the impact of Brexit is being debated and the government is coming under increasing pressure to launch such an inquiry.
Should be fun... and end up as another stitch up.
Unless people are in complete denial, Brexit is obviously the most harmful self-inflicted punishment any country could do to itself and there's still much more harm to come.

What I would like to see is to get all these Brexiters to declare exactly how they thought Brexit was going to turn out and rip apart every single point and publish that.

Brexit could never possibly work. It will never work where there is a benefit to the Uk from what it had, no matter how many different configurations people had in their mind. In or out that was the choice. And out is a disaster for the UK.

Less foreigners and they’d all get paid more for not working now the ‘leaches’ had left the system.

They weren’t voting with any emotion other than hate for other people because they chose to believe every line of propaganda they’ve been fed for the last 20 years.

And you’ll never get a sensible comment out of them either, now they think they’re being punished by Europe for brexit which is why everything’s so hard and they have to queue in the ‘rest of the world’ line at the airport.
