Just met a recruiter who places agency/contract staff in London Hospitals. He said, "It's insane, the government is paying nurses £30-55 an hour & making me rich rather than use the money to just pay proper wages in the NHS." I said "why do you think? Him "They want to break it".

If you destroy a countries own food production, fishing and farming / production capabilities you turn it into a captive market, entirely dependant on imports from big players rewarded by the government. This is what Brexit really is.

70% of the sales from my little side project Etsy shop have been EU and ROW. EU orders and interest has gone. It's not worth buying lowish cost items from us anymore.

Was just charged €18 (€10 rest-of-the-world postage and €3 of VAT) on a €5 eBay item from France. Same item would have cost total of €12 three days ago. I also had to buy it from French eBay, as UK site couldn’t cope. That’s Brexit in reality. Fuss and expense. And for what?

@GillianKeegan I'm about the same age as you. You know full well that we had a manufacturing industry back then. We don't now. You've killed that. Also back then 16 year olds got paid the same as 25 years old in work. There are not enough schemes anymore, because we don't have any industry.

@benjmurf @EdConwaySky @BorisJohnson I don't think his constituents would agree with you. They would like him to do his actual job.
