Absolutely superb effort by all those who voted for this, many of whom are now dead.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

France and Britain are in thrall to pensioners Mounting fiscal crises show how not to handle the demographic crunch

One way I can tell if the coffee has got to my brain is that I read something about the disastrous effect pensioners are having on the fiscal situation and I think "you know what, we can definitely solve this"- on.ft.com/46AUDjd via @jburnmurdoch.ft.com

Politico: "The Sun has seen evidence to [a US] committee submitted by Nigel Farage in which he suggests the White House should use β€œdiplomacy and trade” in the free speech battle, which sounds like calling for Britain to be bullied into a law change."

Is Farage calling for sanctions AGAINST the UK?

Brexit is the direct cause of the increase of migration.

If you voted for Brexit you voted for migrants to come here and for our country to be unable to return them.

Brexit is Nigel Farage’s baby. He is responsible.

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was β€œbest Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

Don’t believe the myth: Britain’s services have been hit hard by Brexit Export growth has been strong but not lived up to its potential

β€œRather than generate β€œglobal Britain”, leaving the EU has had one simple effect: economic harm. Without Brexit, they [Britain’s services] would have done even better”

Ugh Brexit

What an endlessly tedious and costly drain on our resources, our prosperity and our patience

UK-EU deal is a 'sell-out', says Tory Party whose Brexit cost the UK well over Β£100 billion and several percentage points off GDP.

After years of denial, it's really striking that a UK government press release has just come out and said that Brexit was, you know, really bad for trade.
