Two years into #Brexitdisaster, the UK still has no customs regime in place for EU food imports. Gvt daren’t introduce necessary health controls because food inflation already so high. Another fine #Brexit mess. No wonder so much voter regret. #LibDems #NFU #Farmers

@Vicktor1111 @AdamBienkov I don't think they pay her for her oratory or wisdom.

None in the MSM comment enough on why UK continues to run scared (4 times postponed) of getting its Brexit fully "done"
but instead continues to subject its citizens to an ever expanding smugglers' utopia.
