A good thread I’d encourage Brexiteers to read. Not sure it’ll do much good but hey ho. Obviously worth remembering that you won, get over it etc etc.

Just a resume of everything that has been discussed ad nauseam for the past three and a half years. As one reply said the true cost can't be quantified until the deal is done (or not)...
As I've said before on here I voted Leave but I think Boris's deal was absolute shyte, it's done now so we'll just have to see what emerges from the negotiations. The subject induces a feeling of losing the will to live...
Same old stuff. The next year will be fascinating. I predict we'll see discontent in the EU ranks because of the varying interests. Ireland, particularly need a deal. Von der Leyen has promised EU accession to two poor countries Albania and North Macedonia in a short time period. That, plus losing £10bn UK services will put stress on the organisation.

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson at NATO Credit: rex

Boris Johnson could be given the honour of addressing both Houses of Congress when he visits the US as expected next month.
Allies of US President Donald Trump are weighing up the offer to Mr Johnson as a way of cementing the links between the UK and US just days after Britain leaves the European Union on Jan 31.
Sources in London and Washington said that the visit is scheduled for the second or third week of February before Mr Trump starts his campaign for this November's Presidential election in earnest.
Mr Johnson would become only the sixth British Prime Minister to be given the honour, matching Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, who gave speeches to Congress in 2003 and 2009. Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee and Margaret Thatcher also addresses both houses while Prime Minister....
UK annual exports worth £376.7bn outside the EU

New figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show in the twelve months to September 2019 that UK exports to outside the EU grew nearly five times as fast as exports to countries inside the bloc.
UK exports to the EU grew by 1.3% and now total £296.8bn, while exports to non-EU countries saw growth of 6.3% to reach £376.7bn.
Over the 12-month period, non-EU markets remained the top destination for the UK’s renowned service sector. 60.2% of UK services exports, including financial, travel and transport, go to non-EU markets and are now worth £190.8bn.
International Trade Secretary, Liz Truss said: “These figures show how big the opportunities are for British businesses exporting across the world, and the strength of the trade relationship with the USA and Japan. This government will continue to back our business communities to ensure they have the tools to seize this opportunity and take full advantage of all its benefits.
“My priority is to strike new trade deals with key partners and to open up new markets to British products as we go forward and leave the European Union.”
The USA maintains its position as the number one destination for British goods and services, with increased demand driving exports up 11.4% to £133.7bn – compared to £120bn in the previous 12 months.
Today’s figures also reveal an increase in trade with Japan rising by 7.6%, from £13.8bn to £14.8bn. Japan is already the UK’s fourth largest non-EU trading partner and one of the world’s fastest growing markets.

Rayner Compares Having a Northern Accent to Being Black
As sure as the sun rising in the morning, you can be certain the left will eat themselves. Today, Angela Rayner has potentially jeopardised her deputy leadership chances by comparing having a regional accent to being black, in reply to a Labour MP. Did she misunderstand Jess Phillips saying she was from the black country?…
Rayner quickly deleted the Tweet and clarified “I’ve deleted a reply about mistaken identity as I would in no way compare that to my colleagues who are mistaken due to the colour of their skin.”, doing little to assuage the controversy, with Corbynites saying it was “nowhere close to an apology”; “But that’s exactly what you did do”; “You have finally destroyed any ounce of credibility you had”; “I’m disappointed that you didn’t realise what was wrong with that tweet until people called you out on it.”; and “utterly appalling”. Funnily enough, Eshalomi has not come out in support of Angela’s deputy leadership campaign…

There are now four women and one man left in the contest to be Labour leader. 120 years after the party was first formed, and almost half a century after the Tories elected their first woman leader, who do we think Labour will plump for.
Perhaps they should do a Venn diagram showing how f*cking dumb all MPs are...
The man? He is a minority rep after all in today's Labour party.
Good job this wasn't about a certain Royal...

It's quite astonishing how support for the Labour party has changed over the years.
No surprise that of the remaining candidates one is a knight of the realm and another has a double barrelled surname.
When I started work around the end of the seventies, Labour supporters were very recognisable as working class people in the main.
Now, just about everone I know that supports Labour is a waitrose shopping, middle class liberal.
The Tories are now the party of the working class.
