The Brexit Nightmare (7)

The disaster that is Brexit is made manifest each day.  Trade declines, inflation rises, immigration which was the guiding star of the bigots that voted for Brexit, has soared, Britain remains bound by the EU regulations the Brexiters claimed they were freeing Britain from, and it has acted to fragment Britain itself, in Scotland and Northern Ireland.  The Brexiters can't respond rationally.  Farage rightly claims that Brexit has not happened, and blames the Tories.  But, that is because his Brexit, the Brexit they claimed was possible, and that Starmer continues to claim is possible, never was!

Tory Ministers are even led to act dumber than they really are to avoid answering the questions that Brexit daily poses to them.  In this video, Tory Minister Therese Coffey, plays dumb so as to avoid answering a question from the SNP as to why Scottish agricultural exports to the EU have been slammed, and instead blames the EU, rather than Brexit.  First she talks about imports to Britain rather than exports to the EU, and fails to recognise that the checks that are now required in that trade are precisely the result of the creation of a border where none previously existed, which is precisely what the Brexiters said they wanted in order to "take back control".
