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....

UK cheeses miss out on international prize after getting stuck in customs

At the World Cheese Awards in Portugal, British entries were conspicuous by their absence after failing to clear import controls

Who at the #BBC made the decision to give a platform to "Hello. I'm Michael Gove...."?

Was it Tory Tim, the DG? Or maybe Robbie Gibb on the Board, former propagandist to Theresa May?

We've only just got rid of the odious Vote Leave creep, because he was too cowardly to face his constituents.

He's an EMPLOYEE of the owner of GBNews, and editor of the Tory in-house magazine. Let him use those platforms to try & rehabilitate himself. Not our licence-funded state broadcaster.

"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."

Three years on, the reality of the split with the EU has changed minds. But dashed hopes could come to haunt Labour, too
