As Penny Mordaunt pointed out Turkey's membership of NATO was always going to result in the support of the UK government for Turkey joining the EU.

And so?

 

What did NATO membership have to do with EU membership in 2016 or before then?

 

Then and now, she’s demonstrated as much understanding of the EU and it’s membership, as you and every other Leaver and May/Johnson/and Ministers. None whatsoever. That’ll stand her in good stead come September 😏

The next live TV Tory leadership debate has been cancelled, after host Sky News said Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss declined to take part.

 

Ha ha ha ha - the truth obviously hurts!

 

What does this say about their future leadership - "I'm not going to PMQs because that nasty Starmer person challenged some of my lies - Jacob, where's nanny?"

Any you clearly don't understand the relationship between the EU and NATO.

LOL, talk about an artless dodge 😂

I’ll get you started:

 

NATO is a military alliance.

The EU is an economic alliance.

 

The UK, Germany, Spain and Italy cobbled the Typhoon together as a NATO project, nowt to do with the EU (though Single Market membership of all participants have helped the project logistics some, no doubt - not anymore for the UK these days, of course).

 

Off you go, and let’s see your workings.

Hilarious as Boris stated any of the candidates would give Starmer a drubbing at PMQ's

‘Please let it be Truss, please let it be Truss, please let it be Truss, please let it be Truss…’

 

😆🤣🤣🤣

And what the **** would Boris know? 

He rarely gives an answer at PMQ's, let alone a straight one.

With regards to the leadership debates, the nobhead that you've fawned all over for the last 3 years cried out of being interviewed by Andrew Neil before the last election. 

Boris has no qualification to talk about anything, other than shagging, lying and cronyism

A lot more than any of the Mister Men.

Nowt wrong with Mister Men.

In fact if Roger Hargreaves were around today he'd dream up something like this for Bodge Jobson

How Brexit has raised UK food prices:

https://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/cp628.pdf

"Some products imported to the UK from the European Union have been more affected by the post-Brexit trading rules than others.
Jan David Bakker, Nikhil Datta, Josh De Lyon, Luisa Opitz and Dilan Yang find that leaving the single market and customs union has led to a 6% rise in food prices in the UK."

 

[Gormenghast 58]

6% is lower than the current inflation rate.

[L00b 441]

According to that study, 6% is the ‘Brexit’ proportion in the total rate of inflation for foodstuffs: there are other, further ‘non-Brexit’ components.
 

E.g. record fuel prices, which increase foodstuffs transport costs.

 

E.g. basic foodstuffs scarcity (failed crops in Canada, stolen Ukrainian grain…), which increases cost of making foods that include them (e.g. mustard).

It represents the part of the current inflation rate (on food) that is directly attributable to Brexit

Once again it's the misuse of estimates.

 

"We estimate a 6% increase in food prices due to Brexit, over the two years to the end of 2021."

Brexit consequence #25944:

 

Volume of Brit holidaymakers travelling through Dover, now all needing their passports date-stamped on arrival in France, divided by throughput capacity of French immigration officers in Calais = unsolvable bottleneck.

[Gormenghast 58]

French  border controls were described this morning as "woefully inadequate" thus causing the long queues.
