And it doesn’t mention the significant impact on cultural and care industries. The whole thing was disastrous and built on false promises .
A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

Shame on us
Shame on you: England will not boycott Afghanistan match in Champions Trophy We will just have to keep up the pressure. Women matter more than cricket. (Share token).

Good for you Donna . Happy New Year . You’re one of the reasons why I can’t completely give up on Twitter tho I’m moving toward BlueSky and Threads ….Take care , Pen #HopeandKindness
2024 has been a year of big change. I gave up being a lifelong people pleaser; deciding to set clear boundaries & only work with incredible & genuine people with aligned values. Can’t lie it’s been scary at times but I’ve grown as a person & feel so much better. Excited for 2025!

What does a new widow do on NYE? She listens to @BBCRadio2, opens a bottle and toasts her amazing husband. Courageous, wise, strong, creative and never dull. They didn’t call him the Pirate for nothing. Above all - the most devoted loving husband. Pls raise a 🥂to Johnnie Walker
