British jobs exported to the EU.

British businesses strangled by red tape.

Government adviser tells UK firms to set up in the EU.

The trade deal, did the UK ever read it, is full of tariffs and charges.

The UK export trade to our biggest customer cut by a third, customers do not wish to collect VAT for the UK or pay exorbitant duties.

The UK, now a third party, does not understand that the rules it devised for dealing with third parties, actually written by the UK itself, now apply to them.

Welcome to brexit, UK.

How does the 'cakeist' treaty look now.

We could perhaps do with a few Romanians and Bulgarians filling our hospitals at the moment -doctors and nurses, then we could open the nightingale hospitals closed due to no staff. "Dear E.U, could we possibly ask that you send over some of your doctors and nurses, as we are 100000 nhs staff short, and have the worst covid death rate out of all the european countries, and third worst in the whole world! We love you really and want to be friends, yours, blighty"

We don't have any British service staff here, they don't want this type of work and are frankly disaffected from serving others.

In fact just about everybody is either EU or Asian and we would not be able to manage without them.

Without exception Romanian people are here for work.

All that is happening is that EU people are being replaced by Asian if they decide to go home.

Nobody comes here for benefits, they wouldn't keep a fly alive.

Ms Patel's border controls will not change anything just increase immigration from Asia.

Henry I think we can all agree that most EU migrants come to work however low paid work is not good for our economy.

Find an online benefits calculator and see how much a single man on minimum wage earns, pays tax and what benefits he is entitled to e.g. housing costs.

Now add his wife and 2 kids. You will probably find that he pays around £3K in tax and may get up to 30K in benefits and I have not factored in the cost of schools and healthcare.

In short the taxpayer is funding McJobs from big business. At least now with the 5 year requirement before they can claim benefits those corporations will either have to pay more or recruit locally.

As for your football analogy I see us as more as a top 6 team which makes sense as we are the 6th largest economy in the world.

But you know if the government's policies on immigration and how they tax and handle trade are wrong we can always sack them and get a new government that more suits your politics, something we couldn't do under the EU.

That's what taking back control means, not perfection just the ability to change things if they are not working.

We couldn't change our government 'under' the EU?

What nonsense, the poster is clearly from the 'Happy fish' movement.

We were members of the EU, not 'under' anybody.
