This is the guy who - suggested that treason laws should cover British citizens with "extreme loyalty" to the European Union.[11] This comment led to widespread criticism, with Labour Party MP Virendra Sharma alleging that he was "suggesting putting the knife into free speech" and European Parliament Brexit representative Guy Verhofstadt calling his comments "insane"And then you have a Herbert from one of them think tanks doing the exact same thing…

The irony.Most Britons think country has lost control of its border since Brexit: poll
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-lost-control-of-its-border-since-brexit-poll
"We voted for Brexit to lose control of our borders. But we knew exactly what we voted for."
In 10-30 years all of the EU will be far-right and we'll be living in the Republic of Corbynistan so they'll want to join us.I still think it is going to take a few decades to rejoin, if at all.
Take back control of our borders was yet another illusion.Most Britons think country has lost control of its border since Brexit: poll

"We voted for Brexit to lose control of our borders. But we knew exactly what we voted for."
I'd like to run on a platform of "Rejoin the EU"Take back control of our borders was yet another illusion.
Never going to happen.
Just like the rest of the lies.
I'd like to run on a platform of "Rejoing the EU so we can retake control of our borders" and watch the gammon's heads explode!I'd like to run on a platform of "Rejoin the EU"
A lot of people say that would be political suicide but I don't think so. Truly think people are pissed off and realise it was a mistake. Lot of Brexit voters in my office are now all moaning about it and talking about rejoining - also claiming they never voted Brexit as wellI'd like to run on a platform of "Rejoing the EU so we can retake control of our borders" and watch the gammon's heads explode!
You have my vote.I'd like to run on a platform of "Rejoin the EU"
Doubt it will make a lot of difference to the crossings so the government will start blaming the French government.Whether Suella Braverman New Immigration Deal with France will have any effect remains to be seen.
But what I am most hopeful for is that this might bring about a new Entent Cordial between the UK and our closed and dearest neighbours.
The previous administration policy of isolationism while at the same time wanting Global Britain was both imbecilic and self defeating in equal measures.
Brexit has been a self inflicted disaster of monumental proportions.
But there is no going back. So we have to try to make the best out of a very bad deal and not be so stupid.

Agree with you on both points.Doubt it will make a lot of difference to the crossings so the government will start blaming the French government.
If the UK government keeps advertising that they house immigrants in four-star hotels (even if it's not true for most) they'll be more and more crossing.
With problems on the NI protocol almost sure to re-start because the ERG and DUP will never be happy plus the EU Entry/Exit system due to start next May upsetting a lot of Brexiters, I'm not over-optimistic.

It's amazing that the economy and world at large are in such a mess that we still haven't got round to looking at whether the Brexit deal might be a bit shit yet.London loses position as most valuable European stock market
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63623502
Britain's stock market has lost its position as Europe's most-valued, with France taking the top spot, data shows.
A weak pound, fears of recession in the UK and surging sales at French luxury goods makers are thought to be behind the shift, according to data from Bloomberg.
It's the first time Paris has overtaken London since records began in 2003.
It comes as the UK is expected to fall into recession this year, although the French economy is also under pressure.
The combined value of British shares is now around $2.821 trillion (£2.3 trillion), while France's are worth around $2.823 trillion, Bloomberg calculates.
It marks a huge reversal of fortunes for the London Stock Exchange, which was worth about $1.4 trillion more than its Parisian rival back in 2016.

Sad, but a bit of an idiot to invest 1 million pounds to sell in the EU in 2019 knowing where Brexit was heading. Not saying that he should know about the shitshow, but at least, wait it outBlessed are the cheesemakers...

It’s always the same line of attack - “The French are being unreasonable and have now arbitrarily decided x, y, z”. Rather than the UK left the EU with a hard Brexit and, as just one of the consequences of now being a third country without bilateral treaties on the relevant issue, its dogs are now treated like dogs from Albania, Morocco, Thailand etc…“Tweet

Exactly, that's all I want to hear on the news. The fact that companies are now going bust directly as a result of brexit is not 'news'. It's like telling me the sun rose from the east again every morning.Saw Jacobs crackers staff were on strike today, annoyed me that not one person from the media started to ask “how many of you voted Leave”.
No backbone whatsoever.

Telling us what we already knew. Brexit has been and will continue to be a disaster, making everyone poorer.Brexiter Bank of England Manager, Andrew Bailey.
UK 'definitely underperforming' on trade since Brexit
Q: Do you agree with Michael Saunders, a former MPC member, that without Brexit we wouldn’t face an austerity budget this week?
Andrew Bailey says the Bank thinks Brexit will cause a long-term downshift to UK productivity of around 3%. It calculated that shortly after the referendum, and hasn’t seen anything yet to change its view.
There is an effect from Brexit – but Michael must take his own view, Bailey adds.
