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.

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.

In more news Jacob Rees-Mogg is asking Sun readers to tell him what it was they voted for in 2016.
Someone should send him a link to the Brexit benefits thread on here. I think we just about covered it.

My exact thought when he was given the job.
I reckon his first big move will be massive deregulation of the banking sector.

Yep. So we can have another 2008 crash and get the plebs to bail out the elite again.

If they’re so easy to find A) why haven’t they already found them and B) why are they asking bottom of the gene pool Sun readers what they are?

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.

Why the panic among Boris Johnson’s allies? Because they know Brexit is unravelling | Michael Heseltine
There is an air of desperation in attacks from those on the right and their supporters in the press, says the former deputy prime minister Michael Heseltine

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.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

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.

Another sad and bitter man. Join the club of Heath, Major and Ken Clarke
What is sad and bitter about pointing out the destruction Brexit is causing?

Booooo!About time.
Seriously though I’m not at all surprised. Got members of my own Protestant family thinking that a united Ireland offers their best future. Unthinkable pre 2016.
