    I suppose its OK, given that Rick is trying to avoid answering. Although his delegate has already had a go.
    How about you? What are you going to do if the sovereignty turns out not to be worth it for you?
    I'm not really assessing it, I have plenty of other things to do now Brexit is in the past.

    It's like post-WW2, no-one was interested in it, as it was all in the past, and nothing to learn from it.

    A fascinating period. A "dead parliament".

    Another failure of the coalition government to go with tuition fees and abolishing PCTs.

    Maybe. But as said many times here, without the benefit of a time machine we need to move on with life and stop moaning.

    Your argument sees nobody taking any responsibility for their terrible judgment. Surely it's entirely justified to make judgments about politicians on their past performance.

    You'd think so considering the Tories are still blaming all the countries issues on Labour and they haven't been in power for 12 years.

    That sounds like you really want to relitigate all the points about a) the claims made before the vote, and b) what the meaning of the question "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union" is.

    Security alert in Belfast as a van is hijacked on the Shankill, a suspect package put in the van, and the driver told to drive to a function at which Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney is speaking.

    In 'unrelated' news the Assembly term finished yesterday, the election campaign officially starts on Monday

    It’s damning chart. Can argue about the cause if you want but regardless it’s really quite bad.

    And this is all after the hefty post Brexit devaluation

    Not arguing about the cause, merely suggesting that Covid masked the fall.

    Do we know what % of goods exports were to the EU as a 20% drop seems too big to be entirely due to Brexit
