😡 Brexiteer Tim Martin spent years telling Britain that Brexit would “boost democracy and prosperity”.
Today?
Wetherspoons is routing its entire EU expansion through Ireland to avoid the Brexit red tape *HE* helped create.
The loudest Brexiteer in hospitality now needs the EU Single Market to grow his business 👉because UK firms outside it can’t compete.
Brexit didn’t take back control.
It pushed British business to take flight and now Britain 🇬🇧 is rapidly becoming bankrupt and destitute.

How do public perceptions of government spending match with reality?
A YouGov experiment put a series of govt spending areas as head to head match-ups and asked Britons to say which they thought more was spent on
The resulting public ranking most overstates debt interest, public order, and overseas aid spending, and most understates pensioner, education and transport spending
Debt interest: No 1 in implied public ranking (↑4 vs actual spending ranking)
NHS: 2 (↓1)
Working age benefits: 3 (↓1)
Public order/safety: 4 (↑3)
Defence: 5 (↑1)
Pensioners: 6 (↓3)
Education: 7 (↓3)
Social care: 8 (↑1)
Overseas aid: 9 (↑2)
Housing: 10 (=)
Transport: 11 (↓3)
