@LiveFromBrexit @sturdyAlex @trussliz Here is Karl Stefanovic & co from Today Australia laughing their heads off at the UK trade deal.

“What does the uk actually have to offer?”
“Peas?”
“Spice Girl Cds”
“MG cars? They are owned by China comp”
“Most important thing is it’s good for Australia”

We are a laughing stock

[Ishara Danasekara @IsharaDanasekar]

"All these kids used to go to school every day. I don't have the money to send them now,"

Reported for @bbcworldservice from #SriLanka with @TomDonkinBBC, one of the excellent people that I've work with, & @Megasidesh @22Dinuk 's massive support.

https://t.co/YpYjIp4ceP Thanks to the brilliant @IsharaDanasekar @22Dinuk @megasidesh for their guidance in covering this important story

[BBC World Service @bbcworldservice]

Priyanthika used to be able to send all of her children to school. Now she can only afford to send one.

The price of food and fuel means for some Sri Lankans, education is now a luxury

[Iromi Perera @iromip]

Things will only get harder they said.

"Some days, no-one in Malki's family eats. While school is free in #lka, meals are not provided. When you add in the cost of uniforms and transport, education is a luxury Priyanthika can no longer afford."
