Brexit is biting

Covid has been an easy scapegoat for economic disruption, but Brexit is biting by Anand Menon

Once the pandemic recedes and the UK wakes up from the Covid nightmare, the country will (unfortunately, has to) open its eyes to Brexit reality.

Where did the £350m a week for the NHS go?
Why the queues of lorries in Dover?
The UK GDP is lower than expected?
The UK trade has fallen?
What has happened?

Covid has obviously been the number one news for the past two years, and when the pandemic eventually recedes, other news can and will emerge from its shadows, like the ones about Brexit.

From the outside, this starts to look like “From the table to the frying pan, from the frying pan to the fire, and from the fire… back to the frying pan”. By the looks of it, there will probably also be a cutting board somewhere in this never ending Brexit saga.

The only good (or should I say ‘appropriate’) thing here is that the people who most wanted Brexit, are the government now, so they will have to live with it.
