Four hundred and nineteen Twitter accounts that posted on Brexit were localized to Russia’s Internet Research Agency… About a third of the discussion of Brexit on Twitter was generated by bots—and more than 90% of the bots tweeting political material were not located in the United Kingdom. Britons…had no idea at the time…that the bots were part of a Russian foreign policy to weaken their country. The margin of the vote was 52% for leaving and 48% for staying. … Brexit was a triumph for Russian foreign policy, and a sign that a cyber campaign directed from Moscow could change reality.
—Timothy Snyder, The Road To Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

Canada reports that the US has broken their trade treaty while Quislings in the UK would sell their daughters (but ideally someone else's, someone Poor) for a trade deal with Trump

Any deal with Trump is worthless, I cannot believe serious people are still under the delusion this is all just a glitch.

Fools.

Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

Yes, the mood has shifted against Brexit. But the road back to Brussels is long and hard | #Brexit

"Brexit is no longer an abstract future goal, where coming benefits can be talked up, while potential drawbacks are dismissed as partisan pessimism. Brexit is now a lived reality, whose frictions and costs are a daily experience, and whose promised gains have not arrived."
