Convergence towards a bigger market gets you a better deal. UK wanted to *diverge*. Let's say eg Suriname wanted a trade deal with UK but said we want to diverge from your standards. Would UK be "inflicting a punishment beating" by making its border controls harder here? @afneil
Yip. Almost none necessary. And none demanded by Britain. But all insisted on by EU because it wanted to inflict a punishment beating on the UK. Yet in other FTAs it has agreed on mutual recognition of standards. Not UK. Wonder why.

None of this is hard to understand.. But yet here we still are with Brexiters moaning Brexit not done "properly" or that the EU somehow "punishing" us for giving us results of what *we* wanted (to diverge) & didn't want (convergence, for easier trading & movement across borders)

Royal Mail isn't delivering letters to maximise profit. English water is filled with sewage and is killing people. UK Energy is the most expensive in the world. All of these things are privatised and all of them are the worst ever.

Brexit is a disaster for Britain. Time to rejoin.
New data shows #Brexit has lowered UK GDP by 6-8% over the past decade. Investment down 12-18%, employment down 3-4%. It's even worse than economists had predicted pre-referendum, because they thought there would be a bounce-back long term. "Economists were roughly right on the

What IS the BBC's agenda ? Who is responsible for their 'News Values' ?
Given that a Reform leader was jailed for receiving money from Russia, you'd think @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews would be interested in Matt Goodwin receiving ยฃ10,000 a month from the far-right in Hungary. But no, they aren't.

@rblackwellUK @KevinPascoe @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews Apparently dodgy Russian connections are only a bad thing if you're on the left, Boris Johnson had plenty but the media weren't really interested.
