Actually we don't need to brainstorm all the benefits. The government have done it for us.

And I think you'll all agree it's been a whirlwind of benefit after benefit, given that the 14th best thing they could come up with is:

"Enabling businesses to use a crown stamp symbol on pint glasses. The Crown Stamp is a proud emblem of our heritage that people remain fond of. We have begun the process of allowing it to be used once again, a fitting tribute to Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee"

Hurrah!

What about benefits to the litmus paper test of brexit, fishing? How have they spun not taking back control of our waters, the fishing industry losing access to market and loss of access to waters including EEA waters which is leaving the country’s biggest factory ship (was responsible for the majority of cod landed in the UK) in dry dock for over 12 months now as a bonus?

Errrr excuse me, I think you'll find we have taken back control of our waters thank you very much.


"Taken back control of our waters. The deal we struck with the EU and our new Fisheries Act allow us to chart a course once again as an independent coastal state, bringing more quota for British fishermen and new opportunities for our coastal communities from Lewrick and Peterhead at the north-eastern end of Scotland to Brixham and Newlyn at the south-western tip of England."

Then there’s also this that got lost in the partygate noise.

UK’s Brexit replacement for EU regional funding cuts payments by billions

Levelling-up promise broken by government
www.independent.co.uk

Significant for a few reasons. Firstly it was a 2019 GE pledge by the Tories to at minimum match this EU funding so another broken election pledge. Secondly they covered this on Peston a little last night and on the whole the regions that are seeing the biggest losses as a percentage are the poorest so so much for levelling up.

My exact thought when he was given the job.

I reckon his first big move will be massive deregulation of the banking sector.

Also I’ll doubt that you’ll find it in the UK press but remember when hormone injected beef was project fear?

UK will be told to lift ban on hormone-treated beef to join key trade bloc, leaked memo suggests

The UK will be told to lift its ban on hormone-treated beef to achieve its post-Brexit dream of joining a key trade bloc, a leaked government memo suggests.

Remember. We hold all the cards.

The people in charge didn't though.

That's why they're asking the people that kept on saying "we know what we voted for" what on earth the point of all this was.

It’s just such a short-sighted, headline-oriented approach to governing. Even if you never agreed with Brexit, you could get behind a serious project to make it a long-term success. Instead we’ve got “Find me a round number of things by the end of the month”

1000 regulations too. Why the fuck do we need to get rid of order. If they can still burn £50 notes in front of tramps and shag dead pigs in the mouth with these 1000 regulations in place it begs the question what on earth do they want to do again?

It's a joke that he's allowed to say this and get away with it when even his own government's analysis shows it to be bollocks

The Brexit benefits minister says Covid is behind trade falls, and Brexit is helping the economy.

It’s complete bollocks. Our share of world trade is down 15% as a result of Brexit. It’s irrelevant if world trade is £11 or £11 trillion. We’re taking 15% less, simple as.

Reducing regulation has worked so well in the past, like with the banking crisis and Grenfell. But hey who needs to learn from the past when there's short term headlines to fill.

Just under three in four British exporters believe the UK-EU post-Brexit trade deal is not helping them increase sales, according to a new survey from the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC). The survey found 71 per cent of businesses disagreed with the statement that Boris Johnson’s trade deal...
