Brexit LIVE: This ISN'T what we fought for! Brexiteer fury at deal as FIVE issues exposed


BREXITEER MP Sir John Redwood has hit out at Boris Johnson's deal with the EU after five key issues were revealed by a think tank director.


In a scathing attack on the Brexit agreement, the MP for Wokingham called on the Prime Minister to take action over the movement of goods between Northern Ireland and Britain. Traders have experienced issues moving goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland due to the new checks introduced post-Brexit. He said in a tweet: "We voted to take control of our own laws, taxes, borders and trade rules for the whole UK. Let’s get on with it."

Sir John's concern for the state of trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain also comes as five key issues concerning the Trade and Co-operation Agreement have been highlighted.

Commenting on the Brexit deal, Charles Grant, director of think tank the Centre for European Reform, warned there were still uncertainties surrounding the UK-EU relationship going forward.

Like Sir John, he also pointed to the sustainability of checks of goods moving from Britain to Northern Ireland.

Due to Northern Ireland remaining partly under EU single market and customs union, he warned some may be "tempted to tear up the NI protocol".

Where this country is now lays at the hands of Tony Blair, he brown nosed Bush to take us into Iraq on the lie that Saddam had WMD. Blair opened the floodgates to Eastern Europe telling us that 40,000 would come, a conservative estimate is 6 million at least.

Blair told us that if we didn't adopt the Euro we would be left behind, Blair gave GP huge pay rises while cancelling house visits as the poor darlings were so overworked.

No British politician did more damage to the country than Tony Blair.

Minerve, you really need to wake up, your constant whining about Brexit is because you are blind to what Blair and Brown did.

Yes it's sad to see the odd Tory council going bust amongst the plethora of Labour ones as a result of Gordon Browns flawed economic histrionics but sometimes fiscal constraints are necessary to remove dead wood & encourage new growth. Your wont hear any descent in the ranks from the right.

Well, of course decisions will not go my way, Boris and his cronies are in charge. But look at the results! ROFLMAO!

The world laughs at Little Englanders.

I rejoice in the sense returning to the US, the demagogue and populist nonsense is dying and so it will here.

Time is on our side bonehead, not yours!

My speech during the debate on Covid-19, 12 January 2021By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 13, 2021We have done many more tests than many other countries, and I pay tribute to Ministers and the NHS for all the hard work that has gone into achieving that. We are now vaccinating many more people than in other countries. We have got ahead, and that is very good news. As the Government see the main way out for us to relax the controls as being the vaccination of many more people, we wish everyone every speed and success in rolling out those vaccines.I also think congratulations are in order for finding two more treatments that can make a difference to the death rate and reduce the length of time people suffer with a severe form of the disease, but what about ivermectin, which some doctors in other countries say can also achieve good results and reduce the death rate? It would be useful to know what progress is being made with the UK tests and whether that might ever be a recommended treatment, because the more treatments we can have to cut the death rate the better.I would also be interested to know what our experts think about why there have been such differential case rates and death rates around the world. Unfortunately, the UK has now joined the group of countries where the death rate is over 0.1% of the total population, which means quite a lot of deaths, as we know to our sorrow and cost.We have joined many other countries in that grouping, but why is it that countries like Sweden and Brazil have not yet got to 0.1% when some have been very critical of the way they have handled the virus, and why do many Asian countries seem to have got through with much less damage? What does the international research tell us about the reasons? Why is it, too, that a country such as Belgium has been blighted by such a high death rate and a pretty high case rate? Of course, testing more means that we identify more cases, but our case rate is still not one of the worst in the world, so clearly some of the actions taken are having a beneficial impact.I also urge the Government to do rather more for the self-employed and small businesses. They are bearing the brunt of the economic damage of the policies being pursued, and more could be done, particularly for those small businesses and the self-employed who have not received any help at all.Many of them are in business areas in which there have been closures for the best part of a year now, and in which social contact is very important for the business model, meaning their revenues are well down. We are going to need them, and we need a recovery fairly soon.So I wish every success to those doing the vaccinations, and I hope we can then lift some of the restrictions, because we want to have a vibrant small business and small enterprise sector available to power the recovery we so desperately need.

Turing... Great man. Watch "THE IMITATION GAME - Alan Turing's Interrogation - Film Clip" on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/lTMEUA6VnJEAnd lockdown is a theoretical consideration for hermits and isolationists, but not in the Real World, for the Doing People and children.Truth is uncomfortable territory sometimes.

Lockdown obviously fails. It is head banging impotent government.Vaccine probably good. But lockdown is trash. Reduced R means Delay not Eradication.
