Archive link for those of us in the customs union.

Uh oh 😳. It’s Wes Streeting whom we all hate because of NHS. But he wants us to rejoin the Custom’s Union. Fuck! How do we choose? Will it be a path to rejoining or will it be in fighting and dogma? 🫠😜.

    You’re happy to increase the price of pretty much everything, so a few rich people can buy overpriced German cars slightly cheaper?

      More than half of all U.K. imports come from the EU. That’s AFTER Brexit, so lower compared to what it was before.

      Only 13% of UK imports come from the US. 7% from China. Even combined it’s less than half of EU imports.

      You’ve got your numbers flipped around mate.
