There was always going to be “some friction” when it comes to trading with the European Union, but that is the “price you pay”, Brexit cheerleader and Government minister Andrea Leadsom acknowledged this morning. Curious that Vote Leave never put that on a bus.
It is almost passé at this point to state that the UK’s exit from the EU has been a disaster. Sure, the walls haven’t come tumbling down, the UK economy continues to bump along, but it bears repeating: Brexit is a slow puncture that has made Britain, and its people, poorer.
