This is a genuine Leave campaign video from the 2016 referendum.
Notice how absolutely none of the claims it makes have since come true?
In fact, they provide a useful shopping list of all the things that have been made worse by Brexit.

It's been an utterly abominable 24 hours for Brexit news:
- The UK gave up on negotiations to extend our trade deal with Canada, leaving us worse off than when we were an EU member
https://t.co/EkwL7Ux6TG
- New incoming border checks will add £200 million a year to the cost of our food and drink.
https://t.co/gxYDOLZdeE
- MPs were warned that the EU's upcoming ETIAS/EES border systems may lead to 14-hour queues to enter (the rest of) Europe from the autumn.
https://t.co/L0rpDZLNTZ
- There were warnings of possible shortages of flowers for Valentines Day because of the new incoming border checks.
https://t.co/G7ao5PRwOS
- A plan to extend visas for British expats in France from 90 to 180 days was blocked by France's Constitutional Council court (a decision which has no right of appeal).
https://t.co/tTIfgcgYFd
- Rishi Sunak's pledge to ensure no future laws can create a border down the Irish Sea has gone down like a bucket of sick in TUV quarters. (And has sent the blood pressure of the usual suspect Brexiters sky-high.)

- The EU's plans to increase bulk medicine procurement across the bloc risk creating shortages in Britain because they have very significantly greater buying power than the UK does.

Phew! That's a truly catastrophic batch of headlines for just one day...
“I nicknamed him big balls Boris, I thought this is the guy who’s going to help us…. But we got lied to again”
Brexit voting fishermen like Grimsby’s Darren Kenyon feel deeply betrayed by politicians like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, claiming they simply won’t vote again.
Doesn't look like the PM's net zero speech has done anything for his personal ratings - if anything, the reverse. Conservative MPs facing the LDs will be worried by big drop in favourability among LD voters
Hancock says he signed off a decision to re-allocate departmental resources from pandemic preparation to no-deal Brexit preparation on the advice of Sir Chris Witty, the chief medical officer, and of the Department of Health's permanent secretary, Sir Chris Wormald. He Hancock simply signed it off, he says. "The thing is you face lots of risks and threats" [!!!] he says
Jeremy Hunt said today that Brexit is creating a high-wage, high-enterprise economy.
The government's own Office for Budget Responsibility today say it's actually set to reduce the UK's productivity by 4%, with trade down by 15%, compared to if we had stayed in the EU. #Budget23
🔥 Oof!! HUGE poll from YouGov. 🔥
“In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union?”
Right to Leave: 32%
Wrong to Leave: 56%
Largest ever gap (+24)… and that gap has been opening wider & wider over this year.
@mikegalsworthy Britain had it all, man.
A strong Pound, a seat at the table in Europe, a Special Relationship with the US, global respect and standing.
Tories flushed it all away, courting UKIP/BNP policies to keep power.
And it wrecked Britain.
The day has finally arrived when the Telegraph concedes remainers were not only right but they also weren’t project fear enough.

I have been thinking.
Maybe the collapse of Truss's voodoo budget is even more important than people realise?
"But it is huge!", you cry, "biggest story since the fall of Boris!"
Yup - I think it may be bigger than that. Way bigger.
Here is what I am thinking...

Tiny bit of good news:
Truss’ Cabinet agreed to shelve the Govt’s British Bill of Rights which was designed to undermine the Human Rights Act & the role of the European court
A victory for common sense, but one that will not be welcomed by the Right, though it’s early days..
Kwarteng, Braverman, Cleverly, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Kemi Badenoch will take key roles in Liz Truss Cabinet, according to The Times.
We are literally living in an apocalyptic zombie horror movie 😱💀👽
This is absolutely SHOCKING!
The Cabinet Office has released a film reminding British exporters of all the bureaucracy they now need to go through to sell goods to the EU after Brexit
Watch in disbelief! No wonder British business is being crucified with Brexit red tape & costs
