It is quite extraordinary to watch all these Tories, client journalists & prominent 'Brexiters' queueing up to moan about the consequences of getting every single thing they thought they wanted for fourteen bloody years.

A step-by-step guide to why saying 'I want my country back' is inherently racist, sexist and homophobic.

1. Logically, 'back' means there was an earlier time when the country was 'ours'

2. The same people wanted it 'back' from the EU in 2016 too, and won. Well done you!

40 years of #SteveWright - from listening on the way home from school in the 1980s, to knowing it was time to close my shop when he played Wichita Lineman at 5pm.

Very few people have been such a permanent fixture in our lives for so long. What a legacy 🧡

Really is a moment of absolutely vital importance.

Read this thread.

ElizaB🍉 & I shouted from the rooftops almost daily from 2016 to 2020 about what a disaster Brexit was for UK businesses.

The government post Brexit border plans are due to come into force in less than 12 days and they still can’t say how much businesses will have to pay to import.

Get ready for a summer of eating turnip and empty supermarket shelves if this goes ahead. 🚨
