Two years into #Brexitdisaster, the UK still has no customs regime in place for EU food imports. Gvt daren’t introduce necessary health controls because food inflation already so high. Another fine #Brexit mess. No wonder so much voter regret. #LibDems #NFU #Farmers

Recent Data from the #UN showed Britain endured the worst exports record of any member of the #G7 besides Japan over the last decade. A consequence of #Brexitdisaster which no amount of Far Eastern trade deals can overcome. #LibDems #Brexit

None in the MSM comment enough on why UK continues to run scared (4 times postponed) of getting its Brexit fully "done"
but instead continues to subject its citizens to an ever expanding smugglers' utopia.
(plus favouring EU's exporters over its own & the breaking of WTO rules)

Liz Truss said her recent visit to Taiwan was necessary in order to "show solidarity in person with the Taiwanese people."

“I know of no other example where the prime minister has overruled intelligence advice.”
@C4Dispatches uncovers how Boris Johnson chose to ignore security advice and make the son of an ex-Russian spy with alleged links to the Kremlin a member of the House of Lords.
Great article. We might usefully take Peter Pomerantsev's advice here in the UK, @Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey theguardian.com/commentisfre…
