Of course this country is going to turn against Brexit when the prospect of food shortages becomes clear. This country lost its shit when a Toblerone got smaller and called the police when KFC shut for a day.

*taps mic* uh, yeah, you can't claim to be fulfilling the Will Of The People while simultaneously claiming that if The People find out what that entails they will, and I quote, "shit themselves". https://t.co/r6ajh8TZq3

The ultimate Brexit irony is that a half-decent deal probably could have been done if Freedom of Movement hadn't been weaponised to win the racist vote & Article 50 hadn't been triggered absurdly early. Both ideas were beloved of 'hard' Brexiters but they won't mention this now.

If anyone still believes the NHS can survive Brexit, these figs are devastating.
After the referendum, no. of EU nurses coming to UK divebombed – and hasn’t recovered.
We’re short of 40k NHS nurses. Beds are closed everywhere due to rota gaps. Brexit is devastating patients. pic.twitter.com/i2m4J3h9G0

I take it all back. There is a Brexit dividend. For all those planning to make money from the removal of food and environmental standards and workers' rights the pesky EU imposed.
