Attempting to pin Brexit on Farage while continuing to do everything possible to avoid facing up to the harms and lessons of Brexit is classic Starmer

According to media reports, Labour are about to engage on a mad attempt to blame future tax rises on "Farage's Brexit" having caused more damage than expected.

Several gaping flaws:
- "Make Brexit Work"
- Constant Brexit red lines reinforcement
- 14 years of the TORIES in power
- Flatters Reform

How is it a problem to highlight the now widely accepted fact that "Farage's Brexit" was an economic failure?

The biggest gaping flaws include the weak cliches we have heard for the past few years such as "Make Brexit work" and the "Brexit red lines".

"Welcome to the Brexit."

Hopefully it will bring the topic of our EU exit back into the news.

From Sunday, Brexit will deliver a big highly visible slap in the face. Hopefully that will bring it deservedly back into the news.

From Sunday, travelling into Europe gets tougher for Brits.

New EU border rules mean fingerprint scans, photo registration and longer queues.

This is the real-world cost of Brexit - more hassle, more red tape, more delays.
