One of the lies spouted at the time to persuade the leave vote was we "don't need to be in the EU to be in the single market", which we didn't and still don't, then they changed their minds. Norn Iron suddenly became a problem that previously wasn't and they now try to blame it all on Covid and Russia/Ukraine. As for taking back control of our borders, (not that we never didn't have control, we didn't join Schengen and you had to pass through Passport Control going to/from any EU country going from/to the UK) overall that's worked out well hasn't it? Immigration continues to rise regardless, particularly from the EU in spite of the removal of our right to freedom of movement.

Indeed. Farage and his fellow travellers were openly saying we could stay in the single market
Meanwhile the tories would rather drag your granny back to work than admit brexit is causing profound labour shortages.
Meanwhile up here i saw the owner of LochFyne saying that he's had to let staff go and try and focus on selling scallops, lobster and langoustines to china (which will take years to develop) as its easier than selling to France!!
