I’m in America and it’s very interesting how news about the UK is reported without the bias of British newspapers or the nervousness of the BBC. Britain’s petrol crisis is a direct consequence of Brexit - this is just an accepted fact everywhere (except where it’s happening).

The Prime Minister has already abandoned the ‘plan’ that Kwasi Kwarteng spent yesterday insisting was non-negotiable. Presumably, he will resign as a matter of honour. theguardian.com/business/2021/…

Surprise here that Keir Starmer hasn't been shouting from rooftops about cost of living crisis.

Yvette Cooper:'It's what we should be talking about most. It's going to be devastating for families right across the country. I don't know how many are going to manage this Christmas'

Cool. But how about we feed our hungry kids first?

If Brexit hasn’t got anything to do with the lorry driver shortage how is offering temporary visas for EU drivers going to help sort it. Maybe a Brexiter could answer this one.

Norway.
No shortages & no issues.

Am in Spain. I went to three supermarkets & bought a fine selection of fresh veg & fruit. I then filled up my car with unleaded petrol as we go on the ferry for a day trip to Menorca. It is good not to worry about these basics in life. I conclude #BrexitHasFailed

#BrexitHasFailed this gobshite should be in prison

Proof that #brexithasfailed

Mad to think I can't buy petrol because someone in Rotherham decided he didn't want Romanians to pick strawberries on a Lincolnshire farm.

😂😂😂 this tweet didn’t age well, David! 12 months down the line and the cabinet are about to be forced into a massive u-turn to avoid a national crisis.

Looks like the “scaremongering muppets” were right after all.
