Guy that posted this is a serial scammer with a history of extortion.

Could be telling the truth; could be making it up as he has previously. What’s the evidence other than an iPhone note?

Of course. But this is not new news, as it were, in these circles. Tip of a fairly unpleasant iceberg too, so let’s see what else comes out.
 
I see we have signed a new trade deal:

First Brexit positive I’ve seen, however small.
Not sure how that equates with our pledge to reduce our carbon footprint but I'm sure our Dear Leader will explain
Positive? Possibly "Badenoch said the deal would bring “significant” benefits. Asked by the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg whether the public would feel any difference if it would add only 0.08% of UK GDP in a decade, she replied: “They will if they use it.” Significant really?.

Truss scorched and squirming after being brought to book by Emily Thornberry over the exaggerated and misleading claims between her Japan deal and the EU-Japan deal it replaces. Another brexit benefit?

True, but if it’s the first of many of these kinds of deals then who knows?

There are still many ways that Brexit could become a huge success. For the record I voted to remain, but I am so bored of hearing people being negative about it.

What’s done is done now and it’s time to focus on creating a better country

The majority of trade deals done or mooted to date have been of lesser benefit than those which already existed as EU agreements. In fact due to, for example, the deal with Australia and others that lowered standards such that UK meat and dairy products are banned from import to the EU. The lack of access to a skilled and mobile workforce has caused harm across many sectors.

Still waiting for a reply the oft repeated request for the list of benefits that would lead to brexit being anything but the **** show that it is.

The best way to get on the path of "creating a better" country would be to rejoin the customs union and single market. If that meant rescinding acceptance of lower standards so be it.

If you're on a meter, it doesn't matter what you're using your water for - watering the garden, using your toilets, filling your hot tub or even pouring it straight back down the drain - you pay more if you use more (already). Can't see the point of her comment and actually, tbf, don't see the problem with the number of toilets in the woman's home either: having six loos or twenty makes no difference as each person in the household can only use one toilet at a time. Mind you, if she was hosting a couple of football teams and feeding them Vindaloos, then that might put her usage up a bit, which (see above) she'd have to pay more for.
