Alltricks, good oh! I usually use bike-components or pro bike shop.
If we can all take a moment to stop, think, and make sure we don’t start blaming shops and suppliers for the barriers they’re facing, and the knock on effects on us…

…trust me, it’s very difficult out there at the moment for small business owners of all types. They’ll all be having more sleepless nights than the rest of us, and have a government blaming them for… well… it seems everything at the moment.
I went into Halfords for a new light and picked up a SRAM X1 chain for £27. I don't normally pay that much but I have a big ride to do and my bodged up twin-used-quicklink effort might not be ideal.
Aye, took me nearly 5 weeks to clear some stuff through Felixstowe recently, rather than the normal 5 days max.
5 weeks… you’re lucky…
Frost is doubling down on pissing off the EU talking utter bollox. Its obvious to everyone that what he is doing is creating the narrative ( or attempting to) that the EU are the baddies and its all the EUs fault that brexit UK is a disaster area
Yep, they know they can’t fix things… so they are going to break things further and keep up the twin deceits… “it is all broken by us as part of bigger plan we’re not sharing” … “we didn’t break anything it was them, sticking to rules”… they’ll keep kicking that forward, with promises that it will deliver great things just around the corner… while that corner is never turned, but they get to stay in power in the UK.

We’re no longer interested in influencing EU rules, despite our businesses having to conform to them to deal with any of our neighbouring countries (and many much further afield) and many of our citizens live on an island where those rules are absolutely key to their everyday lives. Square that circle.
Simpler than that...
Can i join in and play football?
No * off
I didn't want to play anyway..
Yeah right now * off
Cummings almost making an excuse for his disastrous deal there
Still can't quite bring himself to admit that priority was what's best for Tories rather than what's best for UK
Frost & Johnson also saying that it was time pressured so they had to sign it, even though they rejected multiple offers from EU to extend.
Should we be glad that (again) Cummings admits the plan was to lie to move things in their direction, in the knowledge that they’d eventually be found out but that as time only runs forward things couldn’t be undone? Is that a kind of honesty? Make the lie big, and then admit it when you have what you want? Or is that just revelling in the power of your con? The elite laughing at what they can get away with?
Doubling down on your own idiocy time after time seems to have now entered a bizarre death spiral
They’re relying on their constant animosity and entirely manufactured conflict with the EU to rally the morons and distract from their own numerous failings
This ‘deal’ was apparently a triumph. Now it’s a disaster and somehow that’s the EUs fault.
They haven’t got a clue what they’re doing, but they’re depending on falling back on conflict with the EU as it’s served them well so far.
They’ll carry on doubling down as they don’t give a toss about the damage they’re doing. They’ll all be long gone when the true scale of the destruction they’ve (completely pointlessly) caused to the British economy becomes apparent
This ‘deal’ was apparently a triumph.
I personally think it was, it's up there with the great German victory at Stalingrad.
When you haven’t got anything doubling down is all you can do.
I reckon they’d use a trade war as part of an early election, evil EU versus plucky U.K. plenty of flag waving and patriotism good for votes.
I suppose a trade war is better than a trade blockade.
I personally think it was, it’s up there with the great German victory at Stalingrad.
But that’s the magic of Brexit, all thru the years.. the great promise and whats delivered bares no resemblance to anything.
The only thing successfully achieved by Brexit was to rip the U.K. out of the E.U whilst the U.K. was unprepared.
I reckon they’d use a trade war as part of an early election, evil EU versus plucky U.K. plenty of flag waving and patriotism good for votes.
When there's fights on forecourts and bare shelves, I'm not sure the fake rhetoric is quite so powerful
The Tories are flagging badly in the polls, Johnsons majority has collapsed so they need something, I'd like to think their nationalism shtick no longer sticks

What is IM2 in that tweet?
If you can face it, there’s a phone in just starting on 5 live titled ‘how is Brexit going for you?’
I’m sure it’ll be the usual gammonfest land I’m going to bet that the vaccination programme is mentioned approximately every 30 seconds
What is IM2 in that tweet?
Another “Internal Market” bill (ie additional UK laws to try and prevent NI being treated differently to the rest of the UK, despite signing international treaties, the Good Friday agreement, and the political and economic reality of all Ireland cooperation combined with GB being outside Single Market and Customs Union meaning this will now always be the case).
First caller….
“What about the vaccination rollout?”
He’s just had it pointed out, yet again, that being in or out of the EU would have made absolutely no difference, but the gammons for like to cling to this solitary supposed ‘benefit’ of Brexit

Don't wake him up, he's having a lovely dream! 🙂
That shopkeeper in Exeter......WTF?! "I voted brexit. I still think it will be good. But, there are massive delays to getting stock & my customers can't get their products....." FFS.
He then said it's actually covid delays being blamed on Brexit until the woman pointed out that the extra administration & paperwork has nothing to do with covid 🙂
This isn’t really doing much to change my longstanding opinion that everyone who voted for Brexit is a moron

cheating foreigners is a core part of the job
Building trust...
Not just with other countries, but with UK voters...
Cummings is quite the game theory fan, isn't he.
Cummings is quite the game theory fan, isn’t he.
Sadly he seems to have missed the winning strategy of tit for tat.
Nah, he's just missing the 'tat' part.
Is that really his Twitter account? There's no account verification tick.
Bloody EU - only offering to cut 80% of border checks...
Frosty will no doubt sort those foreigners out this time with his almost legendary deal making prowess.
Boris needs a fight with the EU to distract from his calamitous handling of everything and energise his base of thick-as-mince racist gobshites, so that’s what we’re getting
so that’s what we’re getting
Yup the EU has proved a handy target for politicans not being arsed to do their job and wanting to blame someone else for their failings since we first joined it so be nuts to let the minor detail of now having left get in the way of using it still. Who else would be handy to blame? Since I am excluding the obviously nuts idea of taking responsibility themselves for their own failings.
Frosty will no doubt sort those foreigners out this time with his almost legendary deal making prowess.
Where's David Davies, his time has come.
In or out of the EU it’s still their fault 🙂
Was always a farce excuse with us being sat at the top table,we were the EU.
Where’s David Davies, his time has come.
Probably waiting for his Lord title 🙂
Still once the levelling up has completed and all farming and manufacturing has ceased should be happy times ahead.
So stop moaning about the bumpy transition period and look forward to the Utopia 🙂
Excellent long read in the FT

Oh no, more trouble for the meat industry. Shame.
Oh no, more trouble for the meat industry.
And what about similar problems in the fruit and veg industry? Those of us that have veggie roasts these days still need our veg…
Those of us that have veggie roasts these days still need our veg…
I'm sure we'll cope. Just need to take one for the team 😄
Of course they are going to reject it. Thew whole point oif the exercise is to find an external enemy. Nothing the EU will do will ever be enough and the ECJ has to have jurisdiction or eles NI can have no special concessions
