Are there any brexiteers on here that still think they were right to vote leave?
Yep.
It's too early for many people to make a fair judgement, methinks. The long term advantages and disadvantages are yet to be played out.

I mean, they're smashing us on basically every single metric.
Look,
LoM read that Germany had its first trade deficit for 30 years. He thinks that means it is plunging into debt.
In the first quarter of this year the UK had the biggest trade deficit since records began. He thinks this is a sign of a robust economy.
We’ll both be around 110 when we start experiencing the full benefits of Brexit according to Jacob Rees Mogg.
Interesting from Keir Starmer. There's a few things that have prevented from voting Labour in recent national elections, but this would certainly put one of them to bed.
Brexit: No case for UK returning to EU, Labour leader Starmer says

Just any benefit would be nice. Im massively worse off at the moment. I dont count the blue passports my kids have.

British scientists and academic researchers have been dealt a blow after 115 grants from a flagship EU research programme were terminated because of the continuing Brexit row over Northern Ireland.
One academic said he was “relieved” to be exiting the country and feared the UK was going down a “dark path” like Germany in the 1930s.
One hundred and fifty grants were approved for British applicants after the then Brexit minister, David Frost, successfully negotiated associate membership of the £80bn Horizon Europe programme but most will now be cancelled.
‘What have we done?’: Brexit costing UK £100 billion a year
https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/po...a-year-328442/
I mean this is a disaster, the leader of brexit is about to go for his lying and incompetency and we have a population too stubborn to admit they've been duped.
It's nonsense though. £100bn a year is 5% of our GDP, which is about £2000bn (or £2trillion) a year.
If it is saying that we should be adding 5% more to our GDP each year, then that means our growth would be massively outperforming our peers, which simply doesn't, and has never happened. There is no way our economy would be that much larger per year and we know that by comparing it to other countries still in the EU.
Otto English goes on to say this, which is ridiculous, but then he is utterly ridiculous:
[I]"While Starmer dodges the issue and the UK's economy slumps the country is doing worse in every single way. There's no other way of putting it. Brexit is a self inflicted machine gun wound to the groin. A complete and utter disaster."[I]
You can always rely on the guardian to find someone, anyone, who will compare it to 1930's Germany.
I'm really surprised more people on here aren't concerned about this!
Post-Brexit red tape poses threat to cross-Channel pigeon racing
There's nothing more thrilling than seeing hundreds of pigeons being let out of their cages and heading off to France. It's like Dunkirk but more....pigeony. Brings a tear to my eye.
And isn't Farage from Kent? It would be lovely to see those pigeons offloading on him before their flight across the Channel.
oil prices drop eh
Now the EU is worried about it's own inflation and trade issue great time to force them to fix the NI Protocls , as they won't deploy trade sanctions in these critical time of worry across the world and EU .. Truss of the Thatcher will love that gig ..

Investments post Brexit in Wales yey
WORK on an alternative motor for electric vehicles that’s less harmful to the environment is to get underway in Wales with £1.8 million in support from car manufacturer Ford.
Caerphilly-based advanced research and development firm Deregallera will lead a project that will see it work with Cwmbran-based commercial brake manufacturer Meritor and academics at Cardiff University to design, develop and test a new low-carbon electric vehicle motor which uses fewer “rare earth” materials.

Meanwhile we've got a £50 billion brexit bill and there are 4 hour queues in Dover.. oh and don't forget Ford left Bridgend recently. But yeah celebrate £1.8 million..
Down to 4 hours? That's better than earlier - and better than tomorrow! All down to the Brexit border checks that had so little impact during Covid but are now showing their full power of disruption. Get Brexit Done!
Stiff upper lip and all that you snowflakes
We've got our blueish black passport back. Who wants to travel outside this sceptred isle anyway?
The UK are blaming France, France are blaming Eurostar. The only people blaming Brexit are the Japanese WW2 fighters who still haven't given up arms.
Why do you guys insist on spreading misinformation? It's so weird. And before you say "bUt iT nEvEr hApPenD bEfoRe BrExIt!...It did, you just probably weren't paying attention.

According to Reuters: "Britain's departure from the European Union means passengers bound for France face enhanced checks by French officials."
Should we listen to the Chief Executive of the Port of Dover, or @Tarquin39485FBPE ?
"The chief executive of the Port of Dover said being “let down” by poor resourcing at the French border was “immensely frustrating”.
