Political relations between UK-EU

[bluethrunthru]

Brexit Ultra's will trumpet this as proof that the problems are hitting the EU like they are the UK. However there are two issues with that.

Some are even shutting parts of their UK operation down and laying people off. Control when you take it back can be - like Karma- a woman eh?

The local and Mayoral elections will determine whether they go for an early election next year before the whole Brexit shit hits - trick people into thinking everything is ok and go for it

We stood on our doorsteps clapping for them. The £350 million a week is going to Boris's mates for unusable PPE.

"Like going back to the war". Cheese exporter on having to get vets to (literally) rubber stamp certificates. "Who on earth still uses rubber stamps?"

But it's good for the economy... GDP boosted by extra work for vets and firms taking on extra staff for the paperwork. Just the profitability problem (and then laying off staff when the exports drop).
