In particular in the North East. Shooting themselves in the foot!

The reliance of North East firm’s on exports to the EU means the region’s economy will suffer the most

Welsh farmers, British pensioners in Spain. Other groups who have shot themselves in the foot.

 

Still, they knew what they were voting for.

The Welsh farmers seem a lot happier than the Dutch farmers.

May resigned out of shame for her treasonous acts of colluding with the EU against her own country during BRINO negotiations.

As PM, May was flawed in many ways, but she was pragmatic and realised (somewhat belatedly) that alienating the country's biggest trading partner was an act of self-harm.

 

She resigned because the unholy alliance of the anti-European, borderline xenophobic ERG and opportunistic factions (not mutually exclusive) within her own party brought her down.

She should have been removed from the Conservative party.

Expelling a former PM wouldn't have been a good look even by Tory party standards, although I'm sure that Rees-Mogg and his motley band would have welcomed it.

Move on, Brexit was years ago.

Dutch farmers against protesting against the effects of Brexit.

 

I can see Welsh farmers taking to the streets once Oz/NZ meat floods the UK market, especially now that their scope for exporting to the EU is reduced.

If only we could but your fellow Brexiters keep bringing up the subject.

Then again, your report did say 

 

"the UK has not seen the large relative decline in its exports to the EU many predicted,"

'

Probably not as large as expected, but they did decline in 2020 and 2021. As you rightly mentioned, there was also a pandemic, so It's difficult to draw conclusions from it. 

Anyway, as I mentioned, the report is prospective.

Tory MPs hopeful of getting Johnson’s job are talking about Brexit, it’s central to the mess the Tories are in.

[Chomper Higgot]

He’s resigned.

 

 

Good riddance to bad stuff.

This could be an opportunity for the UK to have a proper Conservative party again led by Britains most renowned Conservative. Mogg. Wish I could vote.

Mogg’s too busy running his hedgefund, he can’t even stay awake on the front bench.

If only, but it will not happen.   It's going to be a globalist puppet like Jeremy Hunt.

Operation Save Big Dog finally gets put down.

After months and months of defending the indefensible even this bunch of amoral sycophants could stomach the blustering, narcissistic, lying, inept charlatan no more.

Votes of no confidence don't really work like that.

 

Re-running a vote because you didn't like result didn't wash for Brexit, Indyref or Boris' no confidence vote. 

special circumstances call for special measures.... he lied about Brexit and it's implications on the UK day to day life, refused the second round of vote on Brexit, doesn't respect legally signed agreements, lied about the parties during covid and the list keeps growing, if they keep digging wonder what they will find the guy is unfit for the job same as his buddy from across the Atlantic.... btw how many times was he caught lying before being PM, mayor of London, News writer reporter whatever, how many times was he fired... too many signs the guy had mental health issues

Jonathan Pie has done a masterful ‘Bye Bye Boris’ video.

 

Look it up, he nails it.
