Meanwhile in #Brexit news:

In September, a Polish truck carrying a load of British cheese to the Netherlands got stuck in Calais port due to a paperwork issue.
The driver was allowed to drive away with just the tractor unit after THREE MONTHS of being stuck there.
The trailer is still there, plugged into mains electricity.
The paperwork issue has been solved, but the transport cannot continue as the technical inspection of the trailer lapsed and the company went bust.

@MeanwhileinCanada 'Cept UK should be starting further back, having already run that way with #Brexit
Simon Tisdall bows out with this conclusion:
'Britain will have to choose. It has kowtowed to the US all our lives & this is where it has got us. Gradual strategic disengagement from America, coupled with renewed integration in a reformed, revitalised Europe, is the only sane, safe path. Stop feeding the monster. He will devour us all'!
Until the transatlanticists wake up from their fever dream we will never revive our flagging country!

It is so bleeding obvious that Britain should go back into the European Single Market and Customs Union for economic growth, that it is painful to watch Labour politicians who know better pretend otherwise. The Liberal Democrats and Greens will likely come out first advocating to rejoin Europe with the obvious admission that the world has changed under Trump.
As an American who loves Britain, I implore you not to rely on a one-sided trade deal with Donald Trump.

Can somebody tell me why the working people of Britain disproportionately pay more - I mean what it is, why can’t corporations and billionaires pay their fare share? I get we are frightened they’ll all leave our shores, but others will take their place - I honestly don’t get it #brexit #tory #tories #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ToryCorruption #Gammons #conservatives

@bbcnewsfeed interesting to see the economists forecasting that #trump tariffs could damage #uk GDP by 1%. Horror! Have they forgotten the real problem? #brexit cost 4% in a permanent reduction in GDP. Arguably much more. The #Conservative legacy and Brexit are the root cause. Don’t blame #Labour. They inherited third world Britain.

Well I watched this now. It was hardly a "debate" at all, the only brexit supporters to speak were two Northern Irish MPs and the Tory minister. Everyone else spoke eloquently in favour of strengthening relations with EU either quickly or slowly. However the winding-up statements from the Tory and Labour ministers were deeply disappointing, just repeating their standard positions, with no acknowledgement of the strength of all the arguments they had just heard.

BBC writes: UK mulls big tech tax changes to avoid US tariffs https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8j0dgym8w1o
Another consequence of Brexit: The UK can not easily compensate for the hostile trade relationship with the US, because it no longer has easy access to the internal market of the EU. Trump can put the UK under much more pressure. And that really sucks.
To fight these stupid trade wars, we need to stand united. We might not reverse #brexit, but we could work on better (temporary) trade agreements.

Ouch! Is that another #Brexit consequence, or #British train signing allegiance with #DonaldTrump ?
Went to the bar on board my #London to #Edinburgh service for #coffee, asked for a double #espresso.
"Can't do espresso I'm afraid, only #americano".
And indeed that was the shortest (and only) black coffee on the interface of their shiny touchscreen mocha interface.
No

Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possibleI believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.
Heh, on a .co.uk tractor parts shop: "We inform our UK Customers that shipments to the UK are temporarily suspended until further notice, due to the Brexit restrictions. All the products are shipped from Italy"
#Brexit still a great British success story then. Good job youse got a new government now. Oh wait!
