Reasons to be Cheerful

A pet food manufacturer has to fill in 72 pages of health declarations to export to the EU and our fishermen can no longer export shellfish to their customers in Europe, all because we were instrumental in drawing up the rules for 3rd countries, knew the consequences and ignored them while the government blames the EU.

The UK has the highest per capita death rate of countries with populations over 20m.


The government acted unlawfully in not publishing the details of the PPE contracts and their relations with cronies (and still haven’t published the details, despite a pledge to do so).

We have the worst hit economy in the G7 because of government incompetence in handling the pandemic, necessitating the largest recovery spend of almost any country.

Priti Patel's department has to pay £340k to a public servant she was found to bully in contravention of the Ministerial Code and which Boris ignored (as he did Dominic Cummings’ Baynards Castle trip), a code that Scottish Conservatives have a hypocritical, new-found respect for in relation to Nicola Sturgeon.

Peace in Northern Ireland is under threat because someone didn’t read the deal Boris signed and hustled through Parliament.

£37bn is allocated to an utterly useless track and trace system.

The mother of Boris Johnson's latest child spends £200,000 on redecorating Boris's flat.

The £350 million a week promise to the NHS as a Brexit bonus turns into a measly 1% pay rise for nurses. 

Hang on though, there's a footballer over there on one knee, the statue of a slave trader who you've never heard of is being taken down and a mixed-race woman married a British prince, which the millionaire, offshore, tax avoiding tabloid owners, who tell you what to think, have taken offence to as a diversion from the unmitigated disaster that Brexit has become – now that’s something to really get angry about.
