From a Leaver;
Ryan Bourne: It’ll take decades, not years, to determine whether Brexit was a success.
Chris Grey has an review that connects a lot of dots;

So it may not be ‘our’ GDP, but it is our taxes or our public services. And, despite revisionist claims that Brexit was about ‘freedom at any price’, this is emphatically not how it was presented to the electorate. On the contrary, every warning of its costs was dismissed as Project Fear. Yet as I argued in a recent post, Brexiters seem to have largely given up claiming that Brexit is economically beneficial or denying that it is economically damaging. On the other hand, some, especially on the free market Right, who supported Brexit – notably Spectator Editor Fraser Nelson – are beginning to question its economic rationale.

Buyers remorse is a thing.
So all here will be dead before the results are in. And nobody can say if their grandchildren are OK with this.

Cricket?
I remember as a child some ejit coming over from England trying to teach the boyos how to play cricket but there were no cricket bats to be had in Ireland at that time so the lads did the best they could and beat him over the head with the hurleys instead.
lol

Trying to teach cricket to the Irish is a waste of time. You can't play it in the rain and a few people on each team needs half a brain. You can't just have 11 fast bowlers!

I was hoping to see Gary get his 400th wicket but I don’t think he will get to bowl again in this test.

paging Wayne, paging Jamba-l, both requested at panic room, that ozzy bastard LBquinze is yet again trying to hijack your favourite thread with this silly game, time to throw in some more Brexit shit or ask to move it to Cricket Anarky
so Boris had to apologise for a Xmas party, rules ? we don't need no stinkin' rules ! now that's the true brexiteer spirit : settle on rules and next say they don't suit you so you just ignore them, that's how you do it.

No mention then of the touring Aussie Rugby team in the Autumn internationals over here, shall we say it maybe best to not talk about them.

What party, virtually the whole of the country ignored the rules at that time and paaarrrttied, as did every media hack who now is raking up the dirt. One thing for sure though, someone must have been badly demoted to store that clip up of Allegra’s mock media trial. Where’s Cummings or Alistair Campbell and was it all because they weren’t invited.
Bit of opportunistic Boris bashing me thinks as he wasn’t even at the party. It does leave open virtually every media hacks lives if we really wanted to take a closer look and the retribution and resignations over the next few weeks are going to be interesting.
As no minister has volunteered to answer questions this morning over the matter, my predictions said here in this thread previously, that Boris will not be the Conservative leader at the next election may well be yet another tick for me.

Less global. The UK economy has become less globalised, with effects from the pandemic exacerbated by Brexit. For example, compared to the 2019 average, trade flows (imports plus exports as a share of GDP) in the UK have fallen by far more than in any other G7 country. Indeed in Q3 this year, the UK’s trade flows (as a share of GDP) were the lowest since 2009. By contrast, among the EU countries, trade as a share of GDP has largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Moreover, UK firms report greater frictions in the process of importing and exporting.footnote [5] The UK labour market also has become less global: there has been a marked drop in the numbers of EU nationals working in the UK, and firms report greater difficulties in hiring EU staff to work in the UK.

Interesting report from BoE, Leo. The "participation rate" given reflects how other countries measure unemployment, i.e. all 16-64 year olds not working. Rate in UK has increased to 21.2%, so similar to most other countries in EU.

The UK has threatened to impose punitive duties on US goods if Washington does not lift Trump-era tariffs on British steel and aluminium. Britain’s trade minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan has told US trade representative Katherine Tai and Gina Raimondo, the US commerce secretary, that London was ready to increase existing retaliatory duties on high-profile US goods including whiskey, cosmetics and clothing.

LOL. US is really shocked.
And activate Art 16 please. Left with no friends except Russia.
