Now is the time for the UK to apply to rejoin the EU and to join Schengen.

((in the meantime it could agree, Swiss like, to reciprocate FoM with the EEA30

The TCA would allow all this)).

Post-Brexit sales of British farm products to EU fall by 37% NFU warn it could take years to restore Brexit losses despite efforts to smooth negotiations on farming and other elements of UK-EU reset

While at same time not fully reciprocating Brexit TCA (SPS) border controls as it'd be too much (Mogg's words) "self harm"..i.e. successive UKG dare not reduce imports from EU to anywhere near same level,
as we need/want more of their produce than EU need from us

A pleasure to review Aimee Donnellan's fascinating new book for @theguardian.com 💉

Daniel Levy: "we are seeing the active complicity, the active enabling of this genocide by western states.. normal trade, normal sporting relations... [while] in the US, in the UK, in Germany, people being prevented from protesting and taking action against these crimes" 🎯

58/21 = 2 with 16 remaining. So you have 2 x 10cm (20cm) and add just over 2/3 of 10cm which is approximately 6.5cm, so 20+6.5 = 26.5cm in total. Does that help?
