I had to send a package from the UK to the Republic of Ireland last week.

It's just come back through my door, covered in stickers. Says the customs labels our local Post Office put on it do not comply with regulations.

It goes on to say I must refer to a page on the Royal Mail website & to Notice 143 on the gov.uk one, so that I know HOW to fill in the form(s). Yay!

The report came up with a scenario for growth if the UK had stayed inside the EU, and compared it to forecasts the Office for Budget Responsibility made in March last year.

Brexshit was always a stupid idea!

Now we need to find politicians brave enough, and/or not in the pockets of the Brexiteers, to take us back into the EU

Brexit: New report suggests UK £311bn worse off by 2035 due to leaving EU

(Bloomberg) -- London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Thursday will blame Brexit for costing the UK economy £140 billion ($178 billion), calling on the government to “urgently” rebuild relations with the European Union to stem the decline.

Britain’s EU divorce has also meant there are 2 million fewer jobs nationwide than there otherwise would have been, including 290,000 lost positions in London, according to research by Cambridge Econometrics
