sending a #christmas card to continental Europe now costs £ 3.40. Sounds like one of those reverse #brexitBenefits. Also, the price increase in October wasn't widely reported because first and second class stamps stayed the same. And who sends letters abroad anyways ...

Bought some PSE timber this morning. It’s supposed to be cheap, but it wasn’t. Finally googled the price of it over time (in the UK) and 2021 sticks out. Sigh.

UK travellers to Europe will have their biometric profiles (retina, fingerprints) scanned and kept on file for three years starting 12th August 2025.
They can thank #NigelFarage et compagnie.
I was aware that the #UKCA logo existed, and was so crap we decided not to bother with it any more, but today on my new router I discovered an even more pointless #brexit logo, the #UKNI logo.
It's so crap it actually makes your product worse - literally the only thing it does is prevent your already CE certified product from being sold in the EU.
£73 extra charges for going to EU with phones for whole family. £2.59 a day access charges (even tho data use remains on plan). #BrexitBenefits
A reminder that the ppl that brought us Brexit, and the ppl they conned into believing it was good for the UK, are now raging that we’re entering into an improved financial security for the future. #BrexitBenefits

Exclusive: Britons found to have ‘lost out’ while rest of #Europe benefits from golden age of research and treatments
#British #cancer patients are being denied life-saving drugs and trials of revolutionary treatments are being derailed by the red tape and extra costs brought on by Brexit, a leaked report warns.
#Brexit key factor in worst UK medicine shortages
Policy analyst at Nuffield Trust said: This wave of medicine shortages has already meant people struggle to find drugs doctors told them were needed. It's rolling into a 3rd year
Elevated, troubling levels of #medicine #shortages are continuing, with no consistent sign of improvement
#UK has lowest import growth in medicines of any G7 country, driven by a reduction in #EU imports
RT by @CharlesTannock: Five years ago today, the United Kingdom left the European Union.
Give me one tangible Brexit benefit. #BrexitBenefits

#Brexit problem: UK tap water safety at risk after labs shut down
#EU countries will share laboratory capacity from 2026, meaning that if the #UK was still in the EU, water companies would be able to use products that passed tests on the continent.
But UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad; they have to be tested in the country in a certified lab, of which there are now none.
Heard my wife chuckle reading the newspaper. "What's funny?"
"Britain". #BrexitBenefits
