Oh well, another good cause to support. But how dare they attack the ROYAL National Lifeboat Institute? Traitors.
 
Another gazillion pounds for EV plant. Not a problem with that but shirley we have to agree to EU rules and regulations on EV production if we are selling them abroad? Isn't Vauxhall French owned??

Yep - GM sold GM Europe to what was then known as PSA - in which the French Govt have a stake. So Macron has got Johnson to contribute to two plants with French Govt part ownership
 
Another UK business relocates to the EU as Brexit keeps delivering these wins.......I have seen calls for the Army to be brought in to replace the missing drivers to prevent food shortages that weren't going to happen. Aside from the fact that the Army are needed to be ....errr....an Army its also stated we could be up to 100k drivers short of the total we need to service the UK. The Govt has rationalised - ie cut - the Army to 80k personnel and only a small fraction will be Class 1 HGV license holders......................

 
Another Brexit bonus...HGV drivers working longer hours #stayawakelads

‘We’re aware of a shortage of HGV drivers, so I'm announcing a temp extension of drivers' hours rules from Mon 12 July, giving flexibility to drivers & operators to make slightly longer journeys. We've ramped up the number of driving tests available & will consider other measures.’ @ TransportMinister.

Don’t think that would have fitted on the side of the bus . Suppose they could have put “ vote Brexit and fuck road safety “ .

Someone aught to remind the PM as to why those regulations there. They are there to keep all of us safe, not just the driver. Kunts.

At least you’re free to make your own regulations and not tied to EU regulations.
That would be an even worse situation……

Wouldn’t it?
No wait……. I don’t think I’ve thought this through.
 
I liked his 'we agreed regulations to check things going into NI just in case they might go the Republic, but regrettably we let the EU be involved in enacting them"

Pesky people, enforcing rules rather than just ignoring awkward ones.

I see tonight’s Panorama is about Brexit. Won’t be able to watch as I’m working but looking forward to it on catch up so I can see how successful Brexit has been.

My wife, who voted leave says she won’t be watching, too much Call the Midwife to catch up on

Extract from Barnier’s book on Brexit negotiations. Portrays Frost as creating drama to hide failure...which is kind of on point given Frost and Lewis are currently creating drama over the NI protocol to hide their failure in agreeing to it.

 
By way of example, Lewis is citing an ‘exodus of Jewish people’ from NI due to unavailability of Kosher food. We are being asked to believe that there is no availability of kosher food in NI. Also transporting from GB also involves 100 mile trips. Most food is transported 100s of miles. It’s called a fucking supply chain.

‘Brandon Lewis again refers to Kosher food availability at risk because of protocol. Says it is a 100m each way trip to Dublin to get daily provisions which is not acceptable.’
 
Pretty much this.

‘Simply pathetic and frankly not credible that the UK government had an "understanding" a treaty would work differently to the actual content, when they were specifically told otherwise. No surprise EU patience with this is zero.’ @DHenig
