BREXIT THREAD A MILLION

Blue Passport manufactured in Poland.

France, innit?

What are we going to do when women realise women are just nicer

Heh! Gotta give her credit for helping us out.

France, innit?

The contract was awarded to company based in France, but the passports are physically manufactured in Poland.

(The point regarding De La Rue was that we could have awarded the contract to them, presumably. Rightly or wrongly this would have been "buying British" to protect a company at a time when Brexit is going to be a pain for them.)

Ah, right.

MI5 reducing amount of information they are passing on to Priti Patel at the Home Office as "they do not trust her".

Just to be clear this is not based on personality - MI5 have taken  this decision based on evidenced analysis that Home Secretary is a security risk.

Why is female politician garb so stuck in the 80s? It's either that mandarin collar jacket or a blouse with manacle-chain necklace.

Where's Trinny and Susannah when you need them - two sneering narcissists to dress a singularly sneering narcissist.

Fashionable again now, probably.  Dunno.

Somewhat concerning: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/27/uk-says-it-will-consider-walking-away-from-brexit-talks-in-june

...The government said it hoped to achieve "the broad outline" of an agreement by June with the aim of finalising a deal by September. But it said that if not enough progress has been made by June, then the government would "need to decide whether the UK's attention should move away from negotiations and focus solely on continuing domestic preparations to exit the transition period in an orderly fashion"...

[Paul Calf]

That's been the goal all along.

It'll be portrayed as the EU's fault, of course, even though the EU are getting on with things and it's us who are (deliberately) dragging our heels.

[jobotic]

Tax haven criminal bolthole with no employment rights or environmental protection it is then.

As some of us have been saying since the very beginning.

BRITISH BEANS FOR BRITISH TUMMIES

What a load of xenophobic nonsense. Are they going to report on Mr Frost's poos next? "A number 4 and 5, a patriotic movement"

Tory government tells EU that Royal Navy will be sent in to protect UK waters from European fishing vessels

It's fine though. Quickest trade deal in history.

Fucking idiotic cunts.

Great comments:

Richard Mulligan: "Btw, imagine how sweaty and greasy James O'Brien would look after a full English breakfast."

Sir Saxon: "He looks like a sweaty pig as it is"

Classic bantz. And they say the right wing don't have a sense of humour

[idunnosomename]

the smug james o'brien tweet about sausages being from sumeria or some fucking bollocks is much worse than the initial item imo

Christ. It's not that long ago they were threatening war with Spain.

[Paul Calf]

They really are the stupidest people in any government anywhere. Generations of entitlement and wealth insulating them from any requirement for thought, consideration, diplomacy or sensitivity.

Yes, you can imagine him furiously googling as he compiled the list, for the benefit of no-one

The tolerant right. Mark Wallace even referring to the Yorkshire Tea twitter incident.
