So Sunak has said this morning that NI is the best placed country in the world because it has access to the EU single market and the U.K. market.

So what now? Sunak has said out loud that membership is the best thing for NI. What is stopping Scotland demanding the same? What about us in England. I’d quite like what NI has.

Well the defence seems to be - so Brexit has brought huge queues at Dover, vegetable shortages, sewage in our rivers, back to violence in N Ireland etc - never mind - just think of the benefits of Brexit like …ummm.errr….errr….

My grandchild and schoolfriends spent 38 hours on a coach but at least they did get across the Channel. Some school and university coach parties just gave up queueing at Dover and went home.

Well that truly resonated with me. For many reasons, and yet mostly for the end part. Yes, I've been there, many many times, right here on GN, being told just the same. Man from Northern Ireland explains why he has no sympathy whatsoever for Brexiters now paying the price

Unfortunately Fleurpepper it is not just brexiters who are paying the price we are all paying the price.

No-one in my family of any generation voted Leave in the fraudulent referendum of 2016 but we are all having to pay the price.
