She was a Remainer until after the referendum. If she's their top pick, then they are far more stupid than I thought they were.

More food price rises on the way :toot:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... -food-body

Britain’s small businesses should expect trade with the EU to be “permanently damaged” from 1 January, the refrigerated supply chain trade body has said, after new customs checks take effect that it says will make imports from the bloc “more expensive, less flexible and much slower”.

Amid growing public dismay at the negative impact of Brexit, the Cold Chain Federation said speciality food imports could face the same 70% decline that affected exports of food by small businesses this year after Britain quit the EU single market and customs union.

Beyond pointless myopic gooseberry fool like selling in pounds and ounces/crowns on pint glasses and ephemeral buzzwords like "taking back control", has there been a tangible, empirical benefit to this whole debacle yet?

That's a relief, here was me thinking it was a British Exceptionalist vanity project/tax dodge grifting scheme built on getting a lot of people to vote against their own interests through weaponised nationalism, but I see that's clearly not the case.

Of course not! It's just going to take 50 years to see the benefits. But they are real benefits, honest! 2072 is going to be a GREAT BRITISH year!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure we'll ever fully rejoin with the EU but I'm pretty certain we'll enter a custom union of sorts within 50 years easily. Hopefully within 10 because this is only going to get worse, that might be optimistic though sadly.

Scotland will be back in the EU within 10 years, Northern Ireland as well. Maybe Wales will then decide that a Celtic union with Scotland and Ireland is more favourable alongside closer EU links. That'll just leave merry old England on its own with reduced trade links to all its nearest customers. We'll end up being pulled back in within 25 years maybe even having to accept the Euro. But the state of the country for that to happen doesn't bear thinking about.

50 years is way too long a time scale to predict.

From 1971 to 2021, we were not members of the EU (including previous names), joined the EU, had a referendum on staying in the EU, had another referendum on leaving the EU and then left the EU.

Even ten years ago you'd have got bloody huge odds on us ever leaving.

Basically: strawberry float knows.
