Oh look the continuing trade war #BREXIT inflicted on us is damaging food imports.

For an island that does not produce enough food to sustain it's population putting in trade barriers with our nearest food producer was, and I'm being polite here, fucking stupid.

But the #BREXIT supporters said food would be cheaper. Liars, criminals.

Labour need to stop this cruelty when they get power. There is no need to pander to the tories desire for cruelty.

FFS. It's her and the rest of her #BREXIT promotors who caused the problems at the border.

She is directly responsible.

It was her stupidity. Why would any party welcome her unless it was to reduce the average IQ of the party?

Sunak is delusional, which as a supporter of #BREXIT, is no surprise.

He's a fool who should not be in charge of a toilet let alone a country.

I predict that unless more than 20% of tory candidates spontaneously combust during the counts, the tories will claim the election results were not as bad as expected.

A shout out to all the Non Tory voters who will not be voting tactically to beat a tory.

We really need to end #FPTP so that we don't get tories by divide and rule.

At some point, Labour will have to face reality over #BREXIT. The economy is undermined every day by not being in the EU.

There's only one solution, and that is rejoining.

I really long for a reason to vote #Labour that is not just to get rid of the tories.

On the EU, nope
On electoral reform, nope
On the economy... see the EU policy

Where are their policies that will make me, a Labour member, want to support them?

I call being raped by priests and then having the Church cover it up more than a threat to Human dignity.

The church is a moral cesspit that should not exist and is in absolutely no position to pontificate on morality.

Gove supported #BREXIT, an extremist view, that was supported by Putin to undermine Western democracy. He is in no position to lecture on extremism when he is one of Putin's useful idiots.

When your main political goal, #BREXIT, is extremist and to get it through you lied and pandered to extremists it's a bit rich then claiming extremism is a problem you can tackle.

You caused it. You opened the box.

After wrecking British Farming via #BREXIT Sunak is now doubling down by supporting more fringe conspiracy theorists.

Recall pretty much all the reason for leaving the EU were conspiracy theories, so we should not be surprised the conservatives continue to embrace extremist fantasies.

The bad news from #BREXIT keeps coming and will continue.

No amount of magical thinking will stop it, even when the tories are out. This is going to be an anchor around the neck of the next government until we rejoin the SM & CU, then the EU. Labour need to get real about this.

The only way to have permanent access to digital copies you have bought is to...... pirate them.

This is the lesson being given by Sony, who are not the first and won't be the last. No doubt they will also bleat about increasing piracy, but keep quiet about their digital theft.

It's funny how the leaders of #brexit forget that no one was crying out for us to leave the EU except extremists before the referendum, but are quick to tell others there is no appetite for change in the status of Northern Ireland or Scotland. I'm betting both the Scottish and Irish nationalist would not have to descend to the levels of dishonesty the breixters did, to win change.
