Really?

We left becasue more people voted to leave than remain.
I seriously doubt they all had the same reason for doing so.

Spot on! I was being sarcastic in response to this

Of course, jonbxx was able to correct this statement.

You said

We look like them but don't think like them

implying there was "our way of thinking" and a homogeneous "their way of thinking".

And as for "we look like them", your subtext is fairly obvious…

Whatever. A normal person would understand exactly what I said without this "subtext" nonsense.

Bad news for British exporters to Canada. And bad news for Badenoch's reputation.

Canada contradicts Kemi Badenoch's claim post-Brexit trade talks are 'ongoing'

Canada said no trade talks are in progress - despite Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch "explicitly" telling MPs discussions "have not broken down".

Asked in the Commons on 29 January how she plans to "avoid a UK tariff war", Ms Badenoch said she wanted to "state explicitly that talks have not broken down".

The business secretary said the two sides "have an ongoing rules-of-origin discussion" in relation to the car tariffs and "we are also having multiple discussions with Canada on cheese".

But this has been disputed by Canada in a letter to the Commons Business Committee dated 16 February.

Mr Goodale wrote that he is "disappointed with the unilateral pause in these negotiations".

A time-limited agreement had also allowed the UK to continue to sell cars without high import taxes, but given the negotiations have paused this is now in doubt, with the terms due to expire at the end of March.

He added: "As far as I'm aware, since the UK announced its pause on January 25, there have been neither negotiations nor technical discussions with respect to any of the outstanding issues - including British access to Canada's Tariff Rate Quotas for cheese and the approaching expiry of cumulation provisions respecting Rules of Origin."

Liam Byrne, chair of the Business Committee, is now demanding Ms Badenoch correct the record.

No comment, after all it is the Express.

That's Badenoch out of the running for next leader.

Don't get me wrong, I like Brexit for all the reasons I've previously given. I just want a competent government who can develop the nation in the way Badenoch pretends is happening.

Badenoch has form and her endorsement of anything is never a good thing.

This B'rexpress front page certainly had me lol-ing so a good way to end the week. Thank you, Pip.

You can't put lipstick on a pig whether you're May, Farage, BoJo, Truss, Sunak or even Starmer. The decline in productivity, exchange rate, recession and record high taxation speak louder than Mad Bad.

You're welcome Andrew. Here's something else for you, posted by A.F. Neil.

The FT reports: Sterling is the only major developed world currency to strengthen against the dollar this year, driven by a stronger than expected UK economy and growing hopes of imminent US interest rate cuts.

A Twitter comment on it made me laugh as much as the article itself.

"There will never be a bigger liar in politics than Boris Johnson"

Kemi Badenoch: "Hold my pork pie"

Won’t be too long before Pork Pies get banned along with the humble Bacon Sandwich.

On another tack, the EU isn’t doing too well. The German powerhouse is crumbling - lots of strikes and Germany can no longer underwrite the Euro. Good job we left that lot.
