What you talking about Willis?
There’s plenty of good news, the unelected EU is already running hard to get a couple of impoverished and corrupt soaked countries into its fold……one of which is in a war with Russia!!

Where next will the enlarged EU look to expand?
In the meantime the ECB ended its technically illegal bond buying of countries in debt only to start it back up again.

Looks like perfect EU policy, continue to print money whilst incorporating 2 economic basket cases into the club.
I know…….let’s re-join?

And enemies.
In the 2016 Brexit referendum and then in the 2019 general election, Johnson offered voters the chance to “take back control” of their destiny, to rebalance the country and to pull it together again. On both occasions, he won.
Six years on, however, we can safely say his project is failing. His government is busy trying to wrest back more control rather than exercising what it has regained. It has not united the country. It has not even begun to level it up.
The truth is, this government won’t accomplish any of that. Until Britain stops trying to restore a vanished past—whether the one imagined by its pro-Brexit Leavers or its anti-Brexit Remainers—and begins to construct a viable future, the country as a whole never will.

BREXIT TO BLAME FOR AIRLINE STAFF SHORTAGES, SAYS EASYJET BOSS
https://www.independent.co.uk/trave...-flight-cancelled-easyjet-staff-b2104884.html
Johan Lundgren, chief executive of easyJet, said 8,000 job applications from European Union citizens have been rejected by his firm because candidates did not have permission to work in the UK.
Last week the aviation minister, Robert Courts, told MPs on the business select committee it was “not likely” that leaving the EU played a part in the chronic staff shortages afflicting aviation.
Mr Lundgren told The Independent: “The pool of people is smaller, it’s just maths.
“We have had to turn down a huge number of EU nationals because of Brexit. Pre-pandemic we would have turned down 2-2.5 per cent because of nationality issues,” Mr Lundgren said. “Now it’s 35-40 per cent.”

Was mentioned today that the likes of British Airways are sub-contracting to European operated planes in order to circumvent " The Benefits of Brexit " ... and, Micheal O'Leary reckons that all we need to do to solve a lot of our current predicted crisis would be to relax the rules for European workers..... but hey, Blue Passports...

Thank the stars that Rees-Mogg and Brexit saved us from the scourge that is USB-C for all.

6 years on and that's all Jacob has got.
Does he really think Apple will launch a UK only model?
Now that Ukraine are on course to join the EU, do they become the enemy?
I wonder how many Brexiters have congratulated Ukraine on their application being accepted. My guess is none.

Mr Rees-Mogg might be useful if you were in the market for a quill and inkwell.
