Playing the old hits!

This was today's front page of the Daily Express:

Let me explain this simply:

1. The referendum asked if the UK should remain or leave the European Union. We left, both economically and politically.

2. The agreement was ratified by the General Election in 2019, as Johnson's "oven ready deal".

3. So happy was Nigel Farage that he stood down every one of his MPs in constituencies where the Conservative Party was expected to win.

4. Johnson won his landslide.

5. On 31st January 2020, the UK left the European Union.

6. This was a "proper Brexit", as this was the one that the electorate backed.

7. This is the deal that Johnson negotiated, Baddenoch as a Minister in his Government backed this deal. And Farage backed by withdrawing his party to ensure a Conservative victory.

8. I don't believe that the UK has the appetite for another Brexit election. In fact, we are all tired of it, all the little things that make life difficult, expensive and time-consuming.

9. A harder Brexit will make the regulatory border in the Irish Sea harder, and leaving the ECHR is explicitlyagainst the Good Friday Agreement.

10. All three support Trump and want to bring Trumpism, ICE, camps and repatriation of migrants that are here legally and have the right to stay.
