Disgraceful lie. Though a price decrease is welcome, Wetherspoons’ reduction in the price of beer is deceiving the public. Leaving the CU makes no difference. 🍻 🍻 The current level of customs duty on beer imports from everywhere in the world is ZERO. 🍻 🍻 Spirits likewise 🥃

@DKShrewsbury See these mangoes? They're from Peru. There's no tariff on mangoes, so it's imported on 0%, but if there was a tariff it wouldn't apply to these mangoes because we have an FTA with Peru.

On the @BBCNews channel, @DKShrewsbury repeats the false claim that the EU insists that all member states outside the Eurozone adopt the Euro by 2020. @BBCSimonMcCoy doesn't bother to challenge or correct him.

This @UKIP "literature" is being distributed in Sussex. "WE WOULD CLASSIFY ANYONE PREPARED TO VOTE FOR THIS AGREEMENT AS A NATIONAL TRAITOR, OR STATE ENEMY - WE'RE WATCHING YOU" 😱

Does anyone truly believe that there'll be tourist visas between the EU and the UK? I thought these scare stories would stop after 23 June.

It's crazy that in 2019 this has to be explicitly explained to people.

I just had a call from a guy with an Indian accent telling me he was calling from BT Openreach about my Internet. I asked him what my phone number was. There was a pause, then he said something I didn't quite catch but the last word was "motherfucker" and he hung up.

Just finished cleaning up the kitchen and best I can. Glass everywhere. The brick hit my Google Home Hub and damaged the screen. I called 999 within seconds. But they can do nothing. Whoever did it was gone before I got to the door. Wife and myself stoic, but my son is very upset
